Abstract: | CO2-exchange rates (CER) of the sixth and the flag leaves oftwo spring-wheat varieties, Kolibri and Famos, were comparedusing an open-circuit infrared gas analysing system. Measurementswere repeated every two weeks starting when leaf blades werefully expanded. Single plants were grown in a controlled environmenthaving a photopuiod of 15 h and a day/night temperature of 24/19°C(H), 18/13 °C (M), and 12/7 °C (L) respectively untilapprox. 2 weeks after anthesis and at 18/13 °C until maturity.The photosynthetic photon-flux density (PPFD) at the top ofthe plants was 500 µE m2 sec1. During themeasurements PPFD was gradually reduced from 2000 to 0 µEm2 sec1 whereas the temperature was maintainedat the respctive growth-temperatures during the light period.The CER of the sixth leaf declined fairly similarly for bothvarieties, except for Kolibri where a faster decline was observedduring the first two weeks after full leaf expansion. The CERof the flag leaf declined more slowly than that of the sixthleaf. With the flag leaf of Famos, the decline was nearly linear,whereas with Kolibri it was very slow during the first few weeksbut rapid as the leaves further senesced. This pattern becamemore pronounced as the growth temperature decreased. The declinein relation to leaf age was much smaller at low PPFD than athigh PPFD during the same period. At full leaf expansion Kolibrireached higher maximum CER than Famos except at H. As the PPFDwas reduced the difference became smaller and at very low PPFDsuch as 50 µE m2 sec1 was reversed for thesixth leaf. Under optimum growth conditions maximum values ofCER were greater than 50mg CO2 dm2h1 and PPFDfor light saturation was close to 2000 µE m2 sec1.A comparison between the actual CER and a fitted curve widelyused, PN=(a+b/l)1DR, showed that the goodnessof fit strongly depends on cultivar, treatment and leaf ageas well as on the number and the level of PPFD from which datafor calculations are taken.
