| Abstract:
Growth and fruit-setting are influenced by complex mutual links among the multiple physiological processes that are operative at the organ level in plum trees, depending on genetic, hereditary and environmental features. Unfavorable environmental conditions cause changes in some physiological processes, which are reflected by the organs’ growth and the plants’ fruit-setting. This paper aims to study the physiological reactions (photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate) of some plum tree cultivars to environmental factors (temperature, light). Determination of the intensity in some physiological processes, in accordance with climate factors, has been carried out by using L Cpro+ portable photosynthesis system. | |
