Abstract
The temperature sensitivity of photosynthetic processes has been known for a long time. Its complexity is also well known. In the physiological range 10 to 40° C the temperature response reflects Boltzmann’s factor of kinetic process and is reversible (1). Above these temperatures irreversible effects result due to thermal denaturation (2).
