Abstract
Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence of warm day/cool night temperature exposed Phalaenopsis plants was measured hourly during 48 h to study the simultaneous temperature and irradiance response of the photosynthetic physiology. The daily pattern of fluorescence kinetics showed abrupt changes of photochemical quenching (qP), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and quantum yield of photosystem II electron transport (ΦPSII) upon transition from day to night and vice versa. During the day, the course of ΦPSII and NPQ was related to the air temperature pattern, while maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) revealed a rather light dependent response. Information on these daily dynamics in fluorescence kinetics is important with respect to meaningful data collection and interpretation.Keywords
