    Figure 1.

    Regression of chlorophyll fluorescence value Fv/Fm after heat stress (44 °C, 20 mins) exposure in foliar tissue of 8 Acer species. y = chlorophyll fluorescence value; a = chlorophyll fluorescence of control value (calculated intercept); x = rate of fluorescence with heat (T).

    Regression of leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD values) after heat stress (44 °C, 20 mins) exposure in foliar tissue of 8 Acer species. y = leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD value); a = leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD values) of control value (calculated intercept); x = rate of leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD value) with heat (T).

    Recovery rates of chlorophyll fluorescence value Fv/Fm after 72 hours following heat stress (44 °C, 20 mins) in foliar tissue of 8 Acer species. y = chlorophyll fluorescence value; a = chlorophyll fluorescence of control value (calculated intercept); x = rate of fluorescence with heat (T).

    Percent reduction (–) in Fv/Fm compared to zero values (i.e., before heat stress was imposed). Species are ranked in order of tolerance based on percent reductions in Fv/Fm as a measure of damage to the leaf photosynthetic system.
