Effects of Light and Nutrition Manipulations on Thermal Respiratory Acclimation and Nocturnal Dynamics of Leaf Dark Respiration

Table 1

Partial table for leaf respiratory parameters (temperature response of respiration (EO), basal respiration (R13), and warm respiration (R25)) and leaf nonstructural C for “warm” and “cool” grown Glycine max (soybean) plants subjected to a factorial combination of light (L) and fertilization (F). Data were analyzed as a RCB design with treatments arranged as a full 2 × 2 × 2 factorial measured repeatedly throughout the night using the repeated statement in PROC MIXED (SAS 9.3).
