Effect of Night Temperature on the Assimilation of Carbon Dioxide by Mature Pineapple Plants, Ananas Comosus (L.) Merr

Abstract

The influence of a range of ambient night temperatures (15-35°C) on theCO.exchange patterns of mature pineapple plants is described. As night temperatures are increased (with day temperatures held constant at 27· 5°C) the net assimilation of CO. at night decreased, while that by day increased.
