Effect of Root Cooling on Photosynthesis of Artemisia tridentata Seedlings under Different Light Levels

H. BassiriRad; M. M. Caldwell; K. A. Mott Botanica Acta 1993. doi:10.1111/j.1438-8677.1993.tb00744.x

Other claims from this paper (9)

Intervention effect Root cooling reduced whole-plant net photosynthesis by 25% at high light.
Intervention effect Root cooling reduced stomatal conductance by more than 50% before photosynthesis declined.
Intervention effect Root cooling reduced intercellular CO2 concentration by about 10% at high light.
Intervention effect Photosynthesis versus intercellular CO2 curves did not differ between cold and warm soil.
Intervention effect Stomatal conductance was lower at the lower soil temperature.
Intervention effect Root cooling lowered leaf relative water content by as much as 23%.
Mechanism The authors inferred that cooling limited photosynthesis through stomatal closure linked to lower water supply.
Intervention effect At lower light, root cooling did not decrease whole-plant photosynthesis.
Intervention effect Cold soil rapidly and substantially reduced root respiration at either light level.
