Aranda et al. (2006)

Photosynthesis of well watered and fertilized two-year-old seedlings grown for four months in controlled environment chambers in ambient and CO2-enriched air, after which they had all biomass above the point of attachment of the cotyledons to their stems removed from them, after which they were grown under the same conditions for four additional months, after which photosynthetic rates of "resprouted" leaves were measured
