<p>Figure 5. A) CO<sub>2</sub> Assimilation rate (<i>A</i><sub>N</sub>); B) Stomatal conductance (<i>g</i><sub>e</sub>); C) Intercellular CO<sub>2</sub> concentration (<i>C<sub>i</sub></i>); D) Ratio of intercellular CO<sub>2</sub>/atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> (<i>C<sub>I/</sub>C<sub>a</sub></i>); E) Transpiration (<i>E</i>); and F) Temperature deficit (<i>T<sub>air</sub></i> – <i>T<sub>leaf</sub></i>) of Habanero pepper plants at three maximum diurnal temperatures (T<sub>air</sub> = 30°C, 35°C and 40°C). Data are means ± SE. <i>n</i> = 15. NS: no significance, *: significant (ANOVA, P<0.05).</p
