Abstract
To eliminate virus from fruit trees, plants have to be maintained several weeks at temperatures between 37–44°C for heat treatment.
In particular, heat sensitive fruit species die off after a few days at such extreme condition. However, reducing photo-inhibition and photorespiration by altering O2 and CO2 levels allow plants to survive for longer periods.
Measurements of photosynthesis, respiration and water consumption of heat treated plants grown at different O2 and CO2 concentration are described.
