Abstract:

 This study was carried out to examine the relationships between net leaf photosynthesis and temperature and light intensity, between stomatal resistance and temperature and light intensity in tomato and aubergine grown with a range temperature from 10 to 30 C and different light intensities from 3 to 7 MJm-2 d-1. The study was carried out in a six-compartment greenhouse size 4 m  8 m, the temperature of which can be controlled by air conditioning, on tomato and eggplant plants. Each of the six greenhouse compartments was set to have maximum temperatures of 10, 12, 16, 18, 20 and 24 C. Commercial varieties named Counter for tomato and Bonica for eggplant were used. Fisons M2 commercial compost was used in all growing media and nutrient was applied equally. In the study, different sowing and planting dates were applied to benefit from natural light conditions between 3 and 7 MJm-2d-1. Average temperature in each compartment was recorded using a Combine data logger at 15 minute intervals. A porometer Delta-T device, MT -3 was used to measure the stomatal resistance of tomato and eggplant leaves. The stomatal resistance measurements of the plants were made at the same time of the day between 11.00-13.00 at 15-day intervals at the top, middle and lower levels of the crown of four different plants in different environmental conditions. In tomato, leaf photosynthesis increased curvilinearly with temperatures up to about 20.5 C at low light intensity and declined at higher temperatures. The highest photosynthesis was obtained from the plants grown at a temperature of 22.5 C and 7 MJm-2d-1 light intensity. The lowest photosynthesis was at 10 C and 3 MJm-2d-1. In aubergine, at low light intensities, net photosynthesis increased curvilinearly up to 23 C while it increased up to 20 C at high light intensities and declined at higher temperatures. Maximum net leaf photosynthesis was found to be greater in tomato than aubergine.
