The heat tolerance of 8 temperate- and 1 subtropical-origin C3species as well as 17 tropical-origin ones, including C3, C4, and CAM species, was estimated using both F0-T curve and the ratio of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, prior to and after high temperature treatment. When leaves were heated at the rate ofca.1 °C min−1in darkness, the critical temperature (Tc) varied extensively among species. The Tc's of all 8 temperate-origin species ranged between 40–46 °C in winter (mean temperature 16–19 °C), and between 32–48 °C in summer (mean temperatureca.30 °C). Those for 1 subtropical- and 12 tropical-origin C3species ranged between 25–44 °C and 35–48 °C, and for 1 CAM and 4 C4species were 41–47 and 45–46 °C, respectively. Acclimating three C3herbaceous plants at high temperature (33/28 °C, day/night) for 10 d in winter caused their Tc's rising to nearly the values measured in summer. When leaves were exposed to 45 °C for 20 min and then kept at room temperature in darkness for 1 h, a significant correlation between RFv/m(the ratio of Fv/Fmbefore and after 45 °C treatment) and Tcwas observed for all tested temperate-origin C3species as well as tropical-origin CAM and C4species. However, F0and Fv/Fmof the tropical-origin C3species were less sensitive to 45 °C treatment, regardless of a large variation of Tc; thus no significant correlation was found between their RFv/mand Tc. Thus Tcmight not be a suitable index of heat tolerance for plants with wide range of environmental adaptation. Nevertheless, Tc's of tropical origin C3species, varying and showing high plasticity to seasonal changes and temperature treatment, appeared suitable for the estimation of the degree of temperature acclimation in the same species.
