Abstract:
Two wheat varieties, T. durum (HD 4502) and T. aestivum (Kalyansona) were examined for photosynthesis rate and contents of sugars and rubisco protein in the flag leaf, at forenoon and afternoon at anthesis stage. A decrease in photosynthesis rate was observed in the afternoon compared to forenoon in both the varieties and was associated with an increase in non-reducing sugars and a decrease in rubisco content in the leaves.
