Difference in single-leaf and whole-plant photosynthetic response to light under steady and non-steady states in Arabidopsis thaliana by Kazuma Sakoda, Atsushi Sakurai, Sousuke Imamura

“…This result is partly confirmed by the fact that the leaves at different ages showed no difference in the photosynthetic induction after a step change in light. On the other hand, light response analysis for steady-state photosynthesis showed a higher apparent quantum yield in the whole plant than in the single leaf. …”
