Photosynthesis in cow pea (Vigna sinensis L.) seedlings was studied at different temperatures and light levels to show their impact on water use efficiency. Three-week-old plants were used at the two-primary-leaves stage. This stage was maintained by continuous apex tipping thus, avoiding any trifoliate leaf formation. Light intensity ranged from 30 to 350 umol m'V1 by varying the lamp-leaf distance. The temperature ranged from 18 to 28 C. Net photosynthesis and transpiration were measured using a portable photosynthetic meter.

Abstract
Photosynthesis in cow pea (Vigna sinensis L.) seedlings was studied at different temperatures and light levels to show their impact on water use efficiency. Three-week-old plants were used at the two-primary-leaves stage. This stage was maintained by continuous apex tipping thus, avoiding any trifoliate leaf formation. Light intensity ranged from 30 to 350 umol m'V1 by varying the lamp-leaf distance. The temperature ranged from 18 to 28 C. Net photosynthesis and transpiration were measured using a portable photosynthetic meter.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
