• Label: Leaf heat tolerance maximum temperature (Tmax-hot)
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0020422
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A temperature response trait [TO:0000432] which is the temperature [PATO:0000146] at maximum [NCIT:C25564] chlorophyll fluorescence (F0) [GO:0090546] as the leaf temperature increases (is heated) [PATO:0001305] which corresponds to potential sustained damage to the photosynthetic apparatus. This is a modelled parameter [STATO:0000034] derived from a temperature - basal chlorophyll A fluorescence [GO:0090546] curve.;The temperature at maximum chlorophyll fluorescence (F0) as the leaf temperature increases (is heated), which corresponds to potential sustained damage to the photosynthetic apparatus. This is a modelled parameter derived from a temperature - basal chlorophyll A fluorescence curve.
• Additional comments: None
• units: C
