Rubisco deactivation and chloroplast electron transport rates co-limit photosynthesis above optimal leaf temperature in terrestrial plants

Abstract Net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate (A n) decreases at leaf temperatures above a relatively mild optimum (T opt) in most higher plants. This decline is often attributed to reduced CO2 conductance, increased CO2 loss from photorespiration and respiration, reduced chloroplast electron tr...
