The initial quantum yields were calculated as the initial slopes of the light response curves (quantum flux density between 15 and 55 µmol m−2 s−1) of isoprene emission and net assimilation rate and are reported for an absorbed light. Each value corresponds to the average ± se of five measurements of different plants. Statistical comparison of data is as in Table I. Averages with the same lowercase letter are not significantly different.
