Abstract
Within the genus Polygonum a large variation was found between species with regard to stomatal number, gas phase resistance, intracellular resistance and dark respiration. Interspecific variation in CO2 compensation concentration and intercellular CO2 concentration at constant external concentration were comparatively small. Correlations were found between stomatal number and gas phase resistance, stomatal number and Γ, and Γ and the product of dark respiration rate and intracellular resistance. The influence of dark respiration and stomatal number on photosynthetic gas exchange is discussed. It was concluded that dark respiration in light was enhanced by 22% as a mean value in 9 Polygonum species and by 62% in Polygonum lapathifolium.
