24. Measurements were made on a leaf from a 10-day-old wheat seedling grown in a growth chamber. The leaf conductance was calculated from measurements of transpiration and leaf temperature using a conventional cuvette gas exchange equipment covered with PTFE on the inside. In parallel, ozone concentrations were measured in the airstream before and after passing the cuvette and the measurements were compensated for absorption of the empty cuvette. These measurements were used to calculate leaf ozone uptake. The ozone concentrations in the cuvette was approximately 40 nL L-1. Redrawn from (31) and Karlsson, unpublished data.
