We examined the effects of foliar application of various nitrogen (urea) concentrations on gas-exchange and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence characteristics in bean plants treated by heat stress (42/30°C, day/night temperatures). Heat stress caused reductions in contents of Chl a, Chl b, and in maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII by 13, 20, and 27%, respectively, regardless of the N treatment. However, N fertilization caused significant increases in these parameters, especially at higher N concentrations. The net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were enhanced by 32, 60, and 69% and by 25, 88, and 100% due to addition of 5, 10, and 15 mM N, respectively. However, gas-exchange parameters were reduced by 24% due to heat stress. N fertilization alleviated adverse effects of heat stress.

Additional key words: heat stress; nitrogen fertilization; photosynthetic performance; Phaseolus vulgaris L
