Recovery ratio for photosynthesis in response to heating to 46°C for two min
| Compound | Recovery ratio |
|---|---|
| Isoprene (22 μL L−1) | 1.13 ± 0.02, n = 4 |
| Butadiene (22 μL L−1) | 1.77 ± 0.19, n = 3 |
| 1-Butene (22 μL L−1) | 1.19 ± 0.03, n = 3 |
| cis 2-Butene (22 μL L−1) | 1.32 ± 0.26, n = 3 |
| Ethylene (22 μL L−1) | 0.94 ± 0.40, n = 6 |
| 2-Methyl butane (7 μL L−1) | 0.69 ± 0.07, n = 3 |
| n-Butane (20 μL L−1) | 0.82 ± 0.08, n = 3 |
| Isobutane (20 μL L−1) | 0.84 ± 0.10, n = 3 |
Photosynthesis was measured at 30°C and 1,000 μmol photons m−2 s−1. The recovery of photosynthesis of the treated leaf upon returning to 30°C was divided by the recovery of the adjacent leaflet used as a control. In this way each replicate is from adjacent leaf material, eliminating effects of leaf-to-leaf variability. The order of the experiment (control or treated measured first) was varied. Data are reported as mean ± se.
