The temperature dependence of the rate and magnitude of the reappearance of photosystem II (PSII) variable fluorescence following illumination has been used to determine plant temperature optima. The present study was designed to determine the effect of a plant's environmental history on the thermal dependency of the reappearance of PSII variable fluorescence. In addition, this study further evaluated the usefulness of this fluorescence technique in identifying plant temperature optima. Laboratory and greenhouse grown potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv "Norgold M") plants had a thermal kinetic window between 15 and 25 degrees C. The minimum apparent K(m) of NADH hydroxypyruvate reductase for NADH occurred at 20 degrees C. This temperature was also the temperature providing maximal reappearance of variable fluorescence. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill cv "Wayne") plants had a thermal kinetic window between 15 and 30 degrees C with a minimum apparent K(m) at 25 degrees C. Maximal reappearance of variable fluorescence was seen between 20 and 30 degrees C. To determine if increasing environmental temperatures increased the temperature optimum provided from the fluorescence response curves, potato and soybean leaves from irrigated and dryland field grown plants were evaluated. Although the absolute levels of PSII variable fluorescence declined with increasing thermal stress, the temperature optimum of the dryland plants did not increase with increased exposure to elevated temperatures. Because of variability in the daily period of high temperature stress in the field, studies were initiated with tobacco plants grown in controlled environment chambers. The reappearance of PSII variable fluorescence in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv "Wisconsin 38") leaves that had experienced continuous leaf temperatures of 35 degrees C for 8 days had the same 20 degrees C optima as leaves from plants grown at room temperature. The results of this study suggest that the temperature optimum for the reappearance of variable fluorescence following illumination is not altered by the plant's previous exposure to variable environmental temperatures. These findings support the usefulness of this procedure for the rapid identification of a plant's temperature optimum.
