Plants under natural conditions experience unfavorable growth conditions. These can cause a reduction of their photosynthetic rate or even damage the photosynthetic apparatus, which can lead to a serious decrease of plant productivity and yield. Photosynthesis is sensitive to environmental limitations, which means that photosynthetic measurement is an important tool for plant stress studies. Nevertheless, classic ...
