Quantum yield of PSII (FV/FM) (A), and performance index per absorbed light (PIABS) (B) of young (Y) and old (O) leaves of chrysanthemum plants grown under different light intensits (75, 150, 300, and 600 µmol m−2 s−1) and nitrogen (N) concentrations (5, 10, and 15 mM N) at 70 days of cultivation. Vertical bars are means ± SD. Within each graph, interactive effects of light intensity and nitrogen concentration are shown. Different letters (a–d) denote a significant difference between treaments (P < 0.05).
