The relationships between photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and translocation have been studied during the development of the first true leaf of cucumber. The leaf was grown in an irradiance of 50W m−2photosynthetically active radiation for 10 h−1at 20 °C and 2 g m−3CO2.The maximum rate of net photosynthesis, on a leaf area basis, occured at full expansion. Photochemical efficiency, based on incident radiation, also increased up to this stage and was related to the concentration of chlorophyll in the leaf. Dark respiration and the light compensation point fell over the whole period of leaf expansion.A carbon budget analysis showed that the rate of carbon accumulation in the leaf reached a peak at 70 percent expansion. The leaf changed from a net importer to a net exporter of carbon when it was about 30 percent expanded. The rate of export increased with leaf expansion (and with net photosynthesis) and was twice as high in the day an in the night at full expansion. At full leaf expansion there was a reduction in the amount of starch lost overnight, and the carbon exported amounted to 80 per cent of the daily net carbon fixed.
