“…A slight variation in CO2 concentration was observed at the end of the treatment during the day, but the 10‐μmol CO2 mol−1 difference was too small to alter plant response. The present utilitarian system, which only utilizes an air conditioner/heater, is suitable for studying the effect of nighttime temperature on plant physiological responses with minimal perturbation of other environmental factors. …”
