Abstract
Atriplex lentiformis plants collected from coastal and desert habitats exhibit marked differences in capacity to adjust photosynthetic response to changes in growth temperature. Plants from desert habitats grown at 43 C day/30 C night temperatures had higher CO2 uptake rates at high temperatures but reduced rates at low temperatures as compared to plants grown at 23 C day/18 C night temperatures. In contrast, growth of the coastal plants at high temperatures resulted in markedly reduced photosynthetic rates at all measurement temperatures.Keywords
