Photosynthetic light response (PLR) curves of leaves are usually fitted by non-rectangular hyperbola (NRH) equation, and those fitted NRH parameters may change with leaf aging. The objectives of this study were 1) to reveal the response of NRH parameters of rice leaves, light-saturated net photosynthetic rate ( P  nmax ), quantum yield of assimilation ( φ ), dark respiration rate ( R  d ) and convexity of the curve ( k ), to leaf age; and 2) to improve the performance of NRH equation in simulating the PLR curves for leaves at various ages. The PLR for rice leaves at ages of 3–53 days were measured, and the general NRH equation was developed by incorporating the relationship between NRH parameters and leaf age into the NRH equation. The results showed that the NRH parameters of  P  nmax ,  φ  and  R  d  increased rapidly to maximum at approximately 10 days and then declined linearly toward the age of 53 days. However, the value of  k  was not sensitive to leaf age. The general NRH equation can be used to simulate leaf PLR continuously along with leaf aging.
