    Notes: Abstract. Measurements of the efflux of CO2 from 5–6 year old container grown apple trees, in the dark at a range of temperatures (T), indicated that respiration rate (R) can be described by the equation R = SL e kT. The temperature coefficient k, was the same at all times of the year and for all components of the trees, but the values of a varied. At the same temperature respiration rates were low when the trees were dormant, rose rapidly to a peak in spring (before full bloom) and then declined steadily through the season. When respiration was expressed as a flux density, rates for different components of the tree were usually similar. Differences were sometimes statistically significant but no clear pattern emerged. The results obtained are similar to those published for other plants and the equation can be used in the calculation of the carbon balance of apple trees.

    Notes: Abstract. Transpiration rates from apple leaves are analysed in terms of the ratio of latent heat flux (λE) to leaf net radiation (Q1) and the climatological resistance (ri). Increases in stomatal resistance with increasing leaf to air vapour pressure gradient (D), described by an empirical model, are incorporated in the analysis. This humidity effect causes the proportion of energy dissipated as latent heat to fall as Q1 increases, so that leaf transpiration rates in high energy environments are likely to be similar to those in lower energy environments. Boundary layer resistance (ra) exerts an increasingly important effect on transpiration rates as Q1 increases. At constant Q1 stomatal closure in response to increasing D results in very small changes in leaf temperature (T1) across a wide range of ambient vapour pressure deficits (δe); ra is then the major factor determining T1. The implications of these results are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Using an open-system leaf chamber, gas exchange measurements on attached leaves of 3-4-year-old Golden Delicious apple trees, made through two seasons, provided data from which the parameters of a leaf photosynthesis model could be derived. The equation is: 〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:01407791:PCE51:PCE_51_mu1"/〉where C1 is internal CO2 concentration and Qp is the incident quantum flux. There was considerable leaf to leaf variation in the values of the parameters but no clear seasonal trends were established. The initial slope (a) had an average value of about 2.5 × 10−3 mg μmol−1† (i.e. quantum yield ∼ 0.057); the mesophyll conductance (gm) was about 3.5 mm s−1 in extension leaves of trees carrying fruit and 2.5 mm s−1 in extension leaves of defruited trees. Differences between the values of gm for spur leaves with and without subtending fruits were not significant; 2.5 mm s−1 may be used. Dark respiration (Rd, mg m−2 s−1) increased exponentially with temperature (T°C); Rd∼ 0.006 exp (0.09 T). At saturating photon flux density Pn was linearly related to Ci, up to Ci∼ 250 mg m−3. Optimum temperatures for Pn were slightly different in the two years and were in the range 16-26°C.

    Notes: Abstract. Stomatal conductances (gs) were measured on the leaves of 3–4 year old Golden Delicious trees and of seedlings of two other cultivars. Measurements were made on container grown trees in the field with a diffusion porometer in 1975 and 1976, and in controlled conditions in a leaf chamber in the laboratory in 1976. Stomatal densities in the Golden Delicious leaves were assessed from scanning electron micrographs. Stomatal density on extension shoot leaves was higher than on other leaf types after June.The response to irradiance shown by both the porometer and the leaf chamber results could be described by a rectangular hyperbola: 〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:01407791:PCE13:PCE_13_mu1"/〉where gmax is maximum conductance and β indicates the sensitivity of gs to photon influx density (Qp). The values of β were in the range 60–90 μmol m−2 s−1.There was no evidence that apple stomata are sensitive to temperature per se, but gs was reduced by increasing leaf to air vapour pressure deficits (D). There was a linear relationship between gs and D which was not attributable to feed-back to leaf water potential (ψL) as the latter did not affect gs until a threshold of about −2.0 to −2.5 MPa was reached. Conductance generally declined with increasing ambient CO2 concentration.

    Notes: Abstract. An empirical model of stomatal response to environmental factors was developed from measurements of stomatal conductance (gs) made in a leaf chamber under controlled conditions. Results presented in a companion paper (Warrit, Landsberg & Thorpe, 1980) indicated that the model could be written in terms of only two factors, photon flux density (Qp) and leaf to air vapour pressure gradient (D). The response of Qp was hyperbolic and that to D linear; combining these the equation of the model is〈displayedItem type="mathematics" xml:id="mu1" numbered="no"〉〈mediaResource alt="image" href="urn:x-wiley:01407791:PCE23:PCE_23_mu1"/〉where gr is a reference conductance, α is the slope of the response to D and β indicates the sensitivity of gs response to Qp. Values of α were 0.20 and 0.30 kPa−1 in June and August; the corresponding values of β were 59 and 79 μmol m−2 s−1.The model was tested against mean values of gs obtained with a porometer in the field, using environmental measurements as inputs. Correspondence between measured and calculated values was good. Transpiration rates were calculated from the Penman-Monteith equation, with stomatal resistance values calculated from the model, and compared with gravimetric measurements of tree water use. It was shown that transpiration could be calculated with acceptable accuracy. The effects of variations in stomatal resistance on transpiration rates under a range of conditions were explored using the model and the Penman- Monteith equation.
