Larios et al. (2004)

Plants were grown from seed in a growth chamber for 19 days, after which they were transferred to a set of controlled-environment cabinets maintained at a variety of atmospheric CO2 concentrations, where after 72 hours of darkness they were allowed to experience ideal environmental conditions in the light for six hours, during which time leaf net photosynthesis rates were measured
