Net Photosynthesis and Respiration of Apple Leaves Influenced by (2-Chloroethyl)phosphonic Acid1

Year: 1971

Type: article

Abstract: Concentrations up to 4000 ppm of (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) did not affect the net photosynthesis (Pn) of leaves on greenhouse grown apple trees. Leaf respiration was increased by 4000 ppm ethephon, but not by lower concn. Pn rates did not differ between cvs., but respiration of ‘Golden Delicious’ leaves was greater than that of ‘York’ leaves.
