biotropia-213	JUNE, TANIA	THE LIGHT GRADIENTS INSIDE SOYBEAN LEAVES AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE CURVATURE FACTOR OF THE LIGHT RESPONSE CURVES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS	2011	21	.pdf	application/pdf	8201	397	69	The rate of electron transport, J, follows the equation by Farquhar & Wong (l984): ∞ 31 BIOTROPIA NO. 25, 2005 ( ) J Ia J Ia J Ia J = + − + −2 2 2 24 2 max max maxΘ Θ (7) where Jmax is the maximum light-saturated rate of electron transport of the leaf (μmol m-2 s-1), Θ is the curvature factor of the light response curve that varies from 0 (rectangular hyperbola) to 1 (two straight lines quasi Blackman), a2 is the quantum yield (in terms of incident PAR) of electron transport at low light and I is the light intensity (μmol m-2 s-1) incident on the leaf. Leverenz (1988) found that Θ values increased as the leaf acclimated to the light environment inside an integrating sphere (measurement was done at ambient CO2 concentration).	cache/biotropia-213.pdf	txt/biotropia-213.txt
