Abstract: | A positive linear relationship between the net CO2 exchange rate (P N) and the leaf stomatal conductance (gs) under an optimal temperature, and even more distinct one after a short-term chilling (CH, 15-17 h, 2 °C in darkness), that was found in two tomato cultivars (sensitive to a low temperature cv. Robin and tolerant cv. New Yorker) suggested a partial stomatal limitation of photosynthesis. The CH treatment of cv. Robin resulted in an intercellular CO2 concentration (C i) increase because of which a negative correlation between C i and P N was observed. In cv. New Yorker a positive correlation was observed. Detrimental effect of the low temperature in cv. Robin was more evident in plants with a relatively small root system (SR), but drought-hardening positively affected the response to CH only in the plants with bigger roots (BR). On the contrary, in cv. New Yorker the favourable effect of such pre-treatment was more evident in SR than in BR plants. |
