Abstract
Influence of high temperature stress on photosynthesis and allocation of carbon into different biochemical fractions in mature leaves of Ind ian mustard [Brassica juncea (L) Czern] was investigated. Heat stress reduced (CO2)-C-14 fixation and inhibited the translocation of carbon from the leaves. Allocation of C-14 into starch and residue fractions was significantly lower in heat stressed plant leaves. Starch content was significantly reduced in heat stressed plants.
