spinach: Inhibition of photosynthesis

Description

Data from an experiment investigating the inhibition of photosynthesis in response to two synthetic photosystem II inhibitors, the herbicides diuron and bentazon. More specifically, the effect of oxygen consumption of thylakoid membranes (chloroplasts) from spinach was measured after incubation with the synthetic inhibitors in 5 assays, resulting in 5 dose-response curves.
