RWC decreased sharply as drought progressed. Following rewatering, RWC gradually increased to pre-stress values. A, stomatal conductance (g(s)), mesophyll conductance (g(m)), total conductance (g(t)), and PRI changed in parallel with RWC. A decrease in A resulted from coordinated suppression in leaf conductance. As water stress progressed, A measured in non-photorespiratory conditions (A(1%O2)) became more than 3 times higher compared to that recorded at 21% \{[\}O-2], indicating that photorespiration likely increased in response to water stress. A(1%O2) was significantly correlated with all leaf conductances. A(1%O2) was limited more by g(s) than by g(m), indicating that higher g(m) favors photosynthesis over photorespiration. There was a significant linear correlation between RWC and PRI. Significant non-linear relationships were also found both between PRI and A and PRI and g(t). These data imply that PRI may clearly detect normal and stressed status of holm oak, but it is not very informative when plants are severely stressed. Overall, our data indicate that: a) PRI is an important indicator of leaf water status as evident from RWC; b) because leaf conductance did not limit photosynthesis when photorespiration was suppressed, holm oak, and in general sclerophyllous species, will respond to future elevated \{[\}CO2] significantly more than mesophyllous plants; c) PRI can be used to predict changes in the performance of holm oak subjected to physiological water stress, whereas caution is needed under severe drought.

Photosynthetic efficiency of Quercus ilex L. leaves from the urban area of Naples was evaluated by comparison with leaves from remote site (Vesuvius National Park). The photosynthetic performance of leaves with different age (current year [CY], 1- [1Y] and 2-year old [2Y]) was assessed by measurements of gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and pigment contents. The photosynthetic activity at the urban site was higher than that at the remote site for the CY leaves, while the opposite was observed for the 1Y and 2Y leaves. The growth of Q. ilex trees was mainly sustained by the CY leaves at the urban site, whereas at the remote site the photosynthetic activity was not affected by leaf ageing. In the urban environment, Q. ilex leaves strongly decreased the photosynthetic performance with leaf ageing as highlighted by leaf gas exchanges, although the photochemistry did not show any significant change. The mature leaves of urban site drove the reductive power deriving from the photochemistry more in nonassimilative processes rather than in carbon assimilative ones, avoiding a strong decrease of PSII photochemical efficiency</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infante, J.
