  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Net photosynthesis (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;), dark respiration (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;R&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;d&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;), transpirational flux density (TFD) and leaf conductance (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;k&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;l&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;) on glasshouse-grown plants of almond, apple, fig, grape, olive, peach and Asian pear were examined under various laboratory environmental conditions. Grape and almond had the highest light-saturated photosynthetic rates, greater than 20 μmol CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Apple had the lowest temperature optimum for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, 20°C. Almond had the highest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;R&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;d&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;rate between 10 and 50°C, but grape had the highest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Q&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for respiration, a value of 2.5. Apple, olive and grape stomata were most sensitive to the leaf-to-air vapor pressure difference. Apple had the greatest sensitivity of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the vapor pressure difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
