Photosynthesis and photosynthate partitioning in leaves of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench exhibited a cyclic dependence on the duration (10-62 h) of dark periods inserted prior to bright light test periods (550 μmol·s(-1)·m(-2), photosynthetic photon flux). Maximum rates of net photosynthesis and of ac
