A comparative study was made of the inhibition of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphatecarboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) amongst six cultivars of Glycinemax L. Merr., associated with synthesis of 2-carboxyarabinitol1-phosphate (CA1P) during darkness. Significantly lower meanvalues of dark inhibition of Rubisco were observed in soybeancv. Davis than in cvs Bragg, Cobb, Hardee, Gordon, and Kirby.The CA1P synthesis/degradation cycle during dark/light transitionsremained operational in cv. Bragg plants grown at low irradiance(40 µmol photons m2 s1). However, CA1P synthesisand degradation rates were slower in the dark (t0.5 = 240 versus25 min), and light (t0.5 = 20 versus 3.8 min) respectively,as compared to plants grown at higher irradiance (550 µmolphotons m2 s1). In addition, the activation stateof Rubisco in low-light-grown plants showed only a small declineafter a transition to darkness. We conclude that (a) cultivar-dependentvariation occurs amongst soybeans with respect to CAlP regulationof Rubisco, and (b) soybeans acclimated to low irradiance maydepend more on CA1P synthesis/degradation to regulate Rubisco,and less on changes in the enzyme activation state.

Light Dependency of Carboxylation Efficiency and Ribulose-1, 5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase Activation in Trifolium subterraneum L. Leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) on carboxylationefficiency, estimated as the initial slope (IS) of net CO2 assimilationrate versus intercellular CO2 partial pressure response curve,as well as on ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco)activation was measured in Trifolium subterraneum L. leavesunder field conditions. The relationship between IS and PPFDfits a logarithmic curve. Rubisco activation accounts for theIS increase only up to a PPFD of 550 µmol photons m-2s-1. Further IS increase, between 550 and 1000 µmol photonsm-2 s-1, could be related to a higher ribulose fcwphosphate(RuBP) availability. The slow, but sustained IS increase above1000 µmol photons m-2 s-1 could be explained by the mesophyllCO2 diffusion barriers associated with the high chlorophylland protein content in field developed leaves.

Responses of CO2 assimilation to changes in irradiance: laboratory and field data and a model for beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The responses of net CO2 assimilation to sudden changes in irradiancewere studied in Phaseolus vulgaris L. in the laboratory andthe field. For irradiance changes between 50 µmol m2s1 to 350 µmol m2 s1 in the laboratory,assimilation rate increased with half-times of 2.7 and 4.1 minin well-watered and water-stressed plants, respectively. Ina field experiment with a change in irradiance from 400 to 1200µmol m2 s1 the response was faster (half-time=c.1.2 min). In all cases when irradiance was returned to a lowvalue, assimilation declined rapidly with a half-time of approximately1 min, which approached the time resolution of the gas-exchangesystem. The corresponding changes in stomatal conductance in responseto both increasing and decreasing irradiance were much slowerthan the assimilation responses, indicating that biochemicalprocesses, rather than CO2 supply, primarily determined theactual rate of assimilation in these experiments. The conceptof stomatal limitation to photosynthesis is discussed in relationto these results. A simple model for assimilation in a fluctuating light environmentis proposed that depends on a steadystate light response curve,an induction lag on increasing irradiance, andan induction-state memory. The likely importance of taking accountof such induction lags in natural canopy microclimates is considered.

Changes in carbon fixation rate and the levels of photosyntheticproteins were measured in fourth leaves of Lolium temulentumgrown until full expansion at 360 µmol quanta m2s1 and subsequently at the same irradiance or shadedto 90 µmol m2 s1. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphatecarboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), light-harvesting chlorophylla/b protein of photosystem II (LHCII), 65 kDa protein of photosystemI (PSI), cytochrome f (Cytf) and coupling factor 1 (CF1) declinedsteadily in amount throughout senescence in unshaded leaves.In shaded leaves, however, the decrease in LHCII and the 65kDa protein was delayed until later in senescence whereas theamount of Cyt f protein decreased rapidly following transferto shade and was lower than that of unshaded leaves at the earlyand middle stages of senescence. Decreases in the Rubisco andCF1 of shaded leaves occurred at slightly reduced rates comparedwith unshaded leaves. These results indicate that chloroplastproteins in fully-expanded leaves are controlled individually,in a direction appropriate to acclimate photosynthesis to agiven irradiance during senescence.

Single clonal plants of white clover (Trifolium repens L) grownfrom explants in a Perlite rooting medium, and dependent fornitrogen on N2 fixation in root nodules, were grown for severalweeks in controlled environments which provided two regimesof CO2, and temperature 23/18 °C day/night temperaturesat 680 µmol mol1 CO2, (C680), and 20/15 °Cday/night temperatures at 340 µmol mol1 CO2 (C340)After 34 weeks of growth, when the plants were acclimatedto the environmental regimes, leaf and whole-plant photosynthesisand respiration were measured using conventional infra-red gasanalysis techniques Elevated CO2 and temperature increased ratesof photosynthesis of young, fully expanded leaves at the growthirradiance by 1729%, despite decreased stomatal conductancesand transpiration rates Water use efficiency (mol CO2 mol H2O1)was also significantly increased Plants acclimated to elevatedCO2, and temperature exhibited rates of leaf photosynthesisvery similar to those of C340 leaves instantaneouslyexposed to the C680 regime However, leaves developed in theC680 regime photosynthesised less rapidly than C340 leaves whenboth were exposed to a normal CO2, and temperature environmentIn measurements where irradiance was varied, the enhancementof photosynthesis in elevated CO2 at 23 °C increased graduallyfrom approx 10 % at 100 µmol m1 s1 to >27 % at 1170 µmol m2 s1 In parallel, wateruse efficiency increased by 2040 % at 315 µmolm2 s1 In parallel, water use efficiency increasedby 2040 % at 315 µmol m2 s1 In parallel,water use efficiency increased by 2040 % at 315 µmolm2 s1 In parallel, water use efficiency increasedby 2040 % at 315 µmol m2 s1 to approx100 % at the highest irradiance Elevated CO2, and temperatureincreased whole-plant photosynthesis by > 40 %, when expressedin terms of shoot surface area or shoot weight No effects ofelevated CO2 and temperature on rate of tissue respiration,either during growth or measurement, were established for singleleaves or for whole plants Dependence on N2, fixation in rootnodules appeared to have no detrimental effect on photosyntheticperformance in elevated CO2, and temperature Trifolium repens, white clover, photosynthesis, respiration, elevated CO2, elevated temperature, water use efficiency, N2 fixation 相似文献

Reactions of birch leaves to changes in light during early ontogeny: comparison between in vivo and in vitro techniques to measure carbon uptake 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Trends in several photosynthetic parameters and their responseto changed growth light were followed for 15 d in leaves ofyoung birch saplings using a rapid-response gas exchange measuringequipment. These in vivo measurements were compared to biochemicalassays that were made from the same leaves after the gas exchangestudies. The measurements were made on leaves that were selectedprior to the study and were at that time of similar age. Forthe first 7 d the photosynthetic parameters were followed fromthe growth conditions of moderate light (200 µmol m2s1; referred to as controls later in the text). On day7 some of the saplings were transferred to grow either underhigh (450 µmol m2 s1; referred to as highlight plants) or low (75 µmol m2 s1; referredto as low light plants) light and the capability of the preselectedleaves for acclimation was followed for 6 d. For comparison,at the end of the experiment the measurements were made on bothcontrols and on young leaves that had developed under high andlow light. Generally the in vivo measured rate of CO2 uptake (gross photosynthesis)both at 310 ppm CO2 and 2000 ppm CO2 corresponded very wellto the biochemically determined CO2 fixation capacity in vitroafter rapid extraction (measured as the initial and total activityof Rubisco, respectively). However, if the flux of CO2 intothe chloroplasts was limited by the closure of the stomata,as was the case of the high light plants, then the in vitromeasured Rubisco activity was greater than the in vivo measuredCO2 uptake. Vmax, calculated from the mesophyll conductanceat 1% O2, exceeded the initial activity of Rubisco (assayedat saturating RuBP and CO2) constantly by 60%. The catalyticactivity of Rubisco in birch leaves was overall very low, evenwhen calculated from the total activity of Rubisco (Kcat 0.631.18 s1), when compared to herbaceous C3 species. Signs of light acclimation were not observed in most of thephotosynthetic parameters and in chloroplast structure whenmature birch leaves were subjected to changes in growth lightfor 6 d. However, the change of the growth light either to highor low light caused day-to-day fluctuations in most of the measuredphotosynthetic parameters and in the case of the high lightplants signs of photoinhibition and photodestruction were alsoobserved (decrease in the amount of chlorophyll and increasein chlorophyll a/b ratio). As a result of these fluctuationsthese plants achieved a new and lower steady-state conditionbetween the light and dark reactions, as judged from the molarratio of RuBP to Rubisco binding site.

Red beech (Nothofagus fusca (Hook. F.) Oerst.; Fagaceae) andradiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don; Pinaceae) were grown for16 months in large open-top chambers at ambient (37 Pa) andelevated (66 Pa) atmospheric partial pressure of CO2, and incontrol plots (no chamber). Summer-time measurements showedthat photosynthetic capacity was similar at elevated CO2 (lightand CO2-saturated value of 17.2 µmol m2 s1for beech, 13.5 µmol m2 s1 for pine), plantsgrown at ambient CO2 (beech 21.0 µmol2 s1,pine 14.9 µmol m2s1) or control plants grownwithout chambers (beech 23.2 µmol m2 s1,pine 12.9 µmol m2 s1). However, the higherCO2 partial pressure had a direct effect on photosynthetic rate,such that under their respective growth conditions, photosynthesisfor the elevated CO2 treatment (measured at 70 Pa CO2 partialpressure: beech 14.1 µmol m2 s1 pine 10.3)was greater than in ambient (measured at 35 Pa CO2: beech 9.7µmol m2 s1, pine 7.0 µmol m2s1) or control plants (beech 10.8 µmol m2s1, pine 7.2 µmol m2 s1). Measurementsof chlorophyll fluorescence revealed no evidence of photodamagein any treatment for either species. The quantity of the photoprotectivexanthophyll cycle pigments and their degree of de-epoxidationat midday did not differ among treatments for either species.The photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (yield) was lowerin control plants than in chamber-grown plants, and was higherin chamber plants at ambient than at elevated CO2. These resultssuggest that at lower (ambient) CO2 partial pressure, beechplants may have dissipated excess energy by a mechanism thatdoes not involve the xanthophyll cycle pigments.

Mistletoes usually have slower rates of photosynthesis thantheir hosts. This study examines CO2assimilation, chlorophyllfluorescence and the chlorophyll content of temperate hostparasitepairs (nine hosts parasitized by Ileostylus micranthus and Carpodetusserratus parasitized by Tupeia antarctica). The hosts of I.micranthus had higher mean annual CO2assimilation (3.59 ±0.41 µmol m-2 s-1) than I. micranthus(2.42 ± 0.20µmol m-2 s-1), and C. serratus(2.41 ± 0.43 µmolm-2 s-1) showed higher CO2assimilation than T. antarctica(0.67± 0.64 µmol m-2 s-1). Hosts saturated at significantlyhigher electron transport rates (ETR) and light levels thanmistletoes. The positive relationship between CO2assimilationand electron transport suggests that the lower CO2assimilationrates in mistletoes are a consequence of lower electron transportrates. When photosynthetic rates, ETR and chlorophyll a /b ratioswere adjusted for photosynthetically active radiation, hostsdid not have significantly higher CO2assimilation (3.21 ±0.37 µmol m-2 s-1) than mistletoes (2.54 ± 0.41µmol m-2 s-1), but still had significantly higher ETRand chlorophyll a / b ratios. The electron transport rates,saturating light and chlorophyll a / b ratios of sun leavesfrom mistletoes were similar to host shade leaves. These responsesindicate that in comparison with their hosts, mistletoe leaveshave the photosynthetic characteristics of the leaves of shadeplants.

Biochemical Limitations to Carbon Assimilation in C3 Plants--A Retrospective Analysis of the A/Ci Curves from 109 Species 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Species-specific differences in the assimilation of atmosphericCO2 depends upon differences in the capacities for the biochemicalreactions that regulate the gas-exchange process. Quantifyingthese differences for more than a few species, however, hasproven difficult. Therefore, to understand better how speciesdiffer in their capacity for CO2 assimilation, a widely usedmodel, capable of partitioning limitations to the activity ofribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase, to the rateof ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate regeneration via electron transport,and to the rate of triose phosphate utilization was used toanalyse 164 previously published A/Ci, curves for 109 C3 plantspecies. Based on this analysis, the maximum rate of carboxylation,Vcmax, ranged from 6µmol m2 s1 for the coniferousspecies Picea abies to 194µmol m2 s1 forthe agricultural species Beta vulgaris, and averaged 64µmolm2 s1 across all species. The maximum rate ofelectron transport, Jmax, ranged from 17µmol m2s1 again for Picea abies to 372µmol m2 s1for the desert annual Malvastrum rotundifolium, and averaged134µmol m2 s1 across all species. A strongpositive correlation between Vcmax and Jmax indicated that theassimilation of CO2 was regulated in a co-ordinated manner bythese two component processes. Of the A/Ci curves analysed,23 showed either an insensitivity or reversed-sensitivity toincreasing CO2 concentration, indicating that CO2 assimilationwas limited by the utilization of triose phosphates. The rateof triose phosphate utilization ranged from 4·9 µmolm2 s1 for the tropical perennial Tabebuia roseato 20·1 µmol m2 s1 for the weedyannual Xanthium strumarium, and averaged 10·1 µmolm2 s1 across all species. Despite what at first glance would appear to be a wide rangeof estimates for the biochemical capacities that regulate CO2assimilation, separating these species-specific results intothose of broad plant categories revealed that Vcmax and Jmaxwere in general higher for herbaceous annuals than they werefor woody perennials. For annuals, Vcmax and Jmax averaged 75and 154 µmol m2 s1, while for perennialsthese same two parameters averaged only 44 and 97 µmolm2 s1, respectively. Although these differencesbetween groups may be coincidental, such an observation pointsto differences between annuals and perennials in either theavailability or allocation of resources to the gas-exchangeprocess.

The stomatal response of seedlings grown in 360 or 720 µmolmol1 to irradiance and leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit(VPD) at both 360 and 720 µmol mol1 to CO2 wasmeasured to determine how environmental factors interact withCO2 enrichment to affect stomatal conductance. Seedlings offour species with different conductances and life histories,Cercis canadensis (L.), Quercus rubra (L.), Populus deltoides(Bartr. ex Marsh.) P. nigra (L.), and Pinus taeda (L.), weremeasured in hopes of identifying general responses. Conductanceof seedlings grown at 360 and 720 µmol mol1 CO2were similar and responded in the same manner to measurementCO2 concentration, irradiance and VPD. Conductance was lowerfor all species when measured at 720 than when measured at 360µmol mol1 CO2 at both VPDs ({small tilde}1.5 and{small tilde}2.5 kPa) and all measured irradiances greater thanzero (100, 300, 600,>1600 µmol m2 S2)The average decrease in conductance due to measurement in elevatedCO2 concentration was 32% for Cercis, 29% for Quercus, 26% forPopulus, and 11% for Pinus. For alt species, the absolute decreasein conductance due to measurement in CO2 enrichment decreasedas irradiance decreased or VPD increased. The proportional decreasedue to measurement in CO2 enrichment decreased in three of eightcases: from 0.46 to 0.10 in Populus and from 0.18 to 0.07 inPinus as irradiance decreased from>1600 to 100 µmolm2 s1 and from 0.35 to 0.24 in Cercis as VPD increasedfrom 1.3 to 2.6 kPa.

In this paper we report for the first time the occurrence ofan inducible weak CAM in leaves of Talinwn triangulare (Jacq.)Willd. This plant is a terrestrial perennial deciduous herbwith woody stems and succulent leaves which grows under fullexposure and in the shade in northern Venezuela. Plants grownin a greenhouse (sun plants) and a growth cabinet(shade plants) with daily irrigation showed CO2uptake only during the daytime (maximum rate, 4?0 µmolm2 s1) and a small acid accumulation during thenight (6?0 µmol H+g1 FW). Twenty-four hours aftercessation of irrigation, no CO2 exchange was observed duringpart of the night. Dark fixation reached a maximum (1?0 µmolCO2 m2 s1, 100 µmol H+ g1 FW) onday 9 of drought. By day 30 almost no gas exchange was observed,while acid accumulation was still 10 µmol H+ g1FW. Rewatering reverted the pattern of CO2 exchange to thatof a C3 plant within 24 h. Daytime and night-time phosphoenolpyruvatecarboxylase activity increased up to 100% (shade) and 62% (sun)of control values after 10 and 15 d of drought, respectively.Light compensation point and saturating irradiance were similarin well-watered sun and shade plants, values being characteristicof sun plants. CAM seems to be important for the tolerance ofplants of this species to moderately prolonged (up to 2 months)periods of drought in conditions of full exposure as well asshade, and also for regaining high photosynthetic rates shortlyafter irrigation.

The relationships between CO2 concentrating mechanisms, photosyntheticefficiency and inorganic carbon supply have been investigatedfor the aquatic macrophyte Littorella uniflora. Plants wereobtained from Esthwaite Water or a local reservoir, with thelatter plants transplanted into a range of sediment types toalter CO2 supply around the roots. Free CO2 in sediment-interstitial-waterranged from 101 mol m3 (Esthwaite), 0.79 mol m3(peat), 0.32 mol m3 (silt) and 017 mol m3(sand), with plants maintained under PAR of 40 µmol m2s1. A comparison of gross morphology of plants maintained underthese conditions showed that the peat-grown plants with highsediment CO2 had larger leaf fresh weight (069 g) andtotal surface area (223 cm2 g1 fr. wt. including lacunalsurface area) than the sand-grown plants (0.21 g and 196 cm2g1 fr. wt. respectively). Root fresh weights were similarfor all treatments. In contrast, leaf internal CO2 concentration[CO2], was highest in the sand-grown plants (269 molm3, corresponding to 6.5% CO2 in air) and lowest inthe Esthwaite plants (108 mol m3). Expressionof CAM in transplants was also greatest in the low CO2 regime,with H+ (measured as dawn-dusk titratable acidity) of 50µmolg fr. wt., similar to Esthwaite plants in natural sediment.Assuming typical CAM stoichiometry, decarboxylation of malatecould account largely for the measured [CO2]1 and would makea major contribution to daytime CO2 fixation in vivo. A range of leaf sections (02, 10, 50 and170 mm) was used to evaluate diffusion limitation andto select a suitable size for comparative studies of photosyntheticO2 evolution. The longer leaf sections (17.0 mm), which weresealed and included the leaf tip, were diffusion-limited witha linear response to incremental addition of CO2 and 10mol m3 exogenous CO2 was required to saturate photosynthesis.Shorter leaf sections were less diffusion-limited, with thegreatest photosynthetic capacity (36 µmol O2 g1 fr. wt. h1) obtainedfrom the 1.0 mm size and were not infiltrated by the incubatingmedium. Comparative studies with 1.0 mm sections from plants grown inthe different sediment types revealed that the photosyntheticcapacity of the sand-grown plants was greatest (45 µmolO2 g1 fr. wt. h1) with a K0.5 of 80 mmol m3.In terms of light response, saturation of photosynthesis intissue slices occurred at 8501000 µmol m2s1 although light compensation points (611 µmolm2s1) and chlorophyll a: b ratios (1.3) were low.While CO2 and PAR responses were obtained using varying numbersof sections with a constant fresh weight, the relationshipsbetween photosynthetic capacity and CO2 supply or PAR were maintainedwhen the data were expressed on a chlorophyll basis. It is concludedthat under low PAR, CO2 concentrating mechanisms interact inintact plants to maintain saturating CO2 levels within leaflacunae, although the responses of the various components ofCO2 supply to PAR require further investigation.

The photosynthetic response to CO2 concentration, light intensityand temperature was investigated in water hyacinth plants (Eichhorniacrassipes (Mart.) Solms) grown in summer at ambient CO2 or at10000 µmol(CO2) mol1 and in winter at 6000 µmol(CO2)mol1 Plants grown and measured at ambient CO2 had highphotosynthetic rate (35 µmo1(CO2) m2 s1),high saturating photon flux density (15002000) µmolm2 s1 and low sensitivity to temperature in therange 2040 °C. Maximum photosynthetic rate (63 µmol(CO2)m2 s1) was reached at an internal CO2 concentrationof 800 µmol mol1. Plants grown at high CO2 in summerhad photosynthetic capacities at ambient CO2 which were 15%less than for plants grown at ambient CO2, but maximum photosyntheticrates were similar. Photosynthesis by plants grown at high CO2and high light intensity had typical response curves to internalCO2 concentration with saturation at high CO2, but for plantsgrown under high CO2 and low light and plants grown under lowCO2 and high light intensity photosynthetic rates decreasedsharply at internal CO2 concentrations above 1000 µmol1.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Digger) was grown for 22 d inenclosed chambers with a CO2 enrichment of 35, 155, 400 or 675µmol CO2 mol1. CO2 enrichment increased photosyntheticcapacity in the plants grown at either of the two highest levelsof pCO2. A CO2 enrichment of 675µmol CO2 caused a significantincrement of shoot dry weight, whereas no changes were observedin fresh weight, chlorophyll or protein levels. At a light intensityof 860µmol m2s1 CO2 enrichment caused photosyntheticcapacity to increase by 250%, whereas no effect was observedat 80 µmol m2 s1. Over time, photosynthesisdecreased by 70% independent of CO2. A time-dependent increasein the level of extractable fructose was observed whereas totalextractable carbohydrate only changed slightly.

Gas exchange measurements were undertaken on 2-year-old plantsof Clusia rosea. The plants were shown to have the ability toswitch from C3-photosynthesis to CAM and vice versa regardlessof leaf age and, under some conditions, CO2 was taken up continuously,throughout the day and night. The light response was saturatedby 120 µmol m2 s1 typical of a shade plant. Gas exchange patterns in response to light, water and VPD wereexamined. All combinations of daytime and night-time CO2 uptakewere observed, with rates of CO2 uptake ranging from 2 to 11µmol m2 s1 depending upon water status andlight. Categorization of this plant asC3, CAM or an intermediateis impossible. Differing VPD affected the magnitude of changesfrom CAM to C3-photosynthesis (0 to 0.5 and 0 to 6.0 µmolm2 s1 CO2, respectively) when plants were watered.Under well-watered conditions, but not under water stress, highPPFD elicited changes from CAM to C3 gas exchange. This is unusualnot only for a shade plant but also for a plant with CAM. Itis of ecological importance for C. rosea, which may spend theearly years of its life as an epiphyte or in the forest understorey,to be able to maximize photosynthesis with minimal water loss.

Acclimation of single plants of Lolium temulentum to changing[CO2] was studied on plants grown in controlled environmentsat 20°C with an 8 h photoperiod. In the first experimentplants were grown at 135 µ;mol m2 s1 photosyntheticphoton flux density (PPFD) at 415µl l1 or 550µll1 [CO2] with some plants transferred from the lowerto the higher [CO2] at emergence of leaf 4. In the second experimentplants were grown at 135 and 500 µmol m2 s1PPFD at 345 and 575 µl l1 [CO2]. High [CO2] during growth had little effect on stomatal density,total soluble proteins, chlorophyll a content, amount of Rubiscoor cytochrome f. However, increasing [CO2] during measurementincreased photosynthetic rates, particularly in high light.Plants grown in the higher [CO2] had greater leaf extension,leaf and plant growth rates in low but not in high light. Theresults are discussed in relation to the limitation of growthby sink capacity and the modifications in the plant which allowthe storage of extra assimilates at high [CO2].

)together with soluble protein and chlorophyll were measuredin extracts from young tomato leaves during acclimation to achange in irradiance. Leaf area and fresh weight were also measuredto show changes due to growth during treatments. Soluble proteinhad doubled on a unit leaf area basis 7 d after transfer from100 µmol quanta m2s1 PAR (low light) to400 µmol quanta m2s1 PAR (high light). Duringthis period the protein/chlorophyll ratio rose from 46to 10, RuBPc activity almost doubled and PEPc almost trebled.Following the reverse transfer from high to low light, solubleprotein decreased by 30% after 7 d and the protein/chlorophyllratio fell from 12 to 56. There was no change in RuBPcactivity 3 d after transfer from high to low light while PEPcactivity decreased by over 30%. There was no decrease in theactivity of 3PGA phosphokinase or NADP-G3P dehydrogenase 1 dafter transfer to low light, but decreases were apparent after3 d. The extracted kinase and dehydrogenase when fully activatedwere able to phosphorylate and reduce 3PGA at more than 25-foldits calculated rate of synthesis in the leaf. The data are discussedin relation to changes in the CO2 exchange of the leaf. Key words: Photosynthetic acclimation, irradiance, tomato leaf, RuBP carboxylase 相似文献

The distribution and partitioning of dry matter and photoassimilateof Lolium perenne was investigated under two light regimes providingphotosynthetically active radiation of 350 µmol m2s1 (low light treatment) or 1000 µmol m2s1 (high light treatment). Plants were grown at specificgrowth conditions in either soil or sand microcosm units tofollow the subsequent release of carbon into the rhizosphereand its consequent incorporation into the microbial biomass(soil system) or recovery as exudates (sand system). The distributionof recent assimilate between the plant and root released carbonpools was determined using 14CO2 pulse-chase methodology atboth light treatments and for both sand- and soil-grown seedlings.A significant (P 相似文献

The Regulation of Citric Acid Accumulation and Carbon Recycling During CAM in Ananas comosus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The carbon balance of shade-grown Ananas comosus was investigatedwith regard to nitrogen supply and responses to high PAR. Netdark CO2 uptake was reduced from 61.2 to 38.5 mmol CO2 m2in N limited (N) plants grown under low PAR (60 µmolm2 s1) and apparent photon yield declined from0.066 to 0.034 (mol 02.mol1 photon), although photosyntheticcapacities (measured under 5% CO2) were similar. Following transferfor 7 d to high PAR (600. µmol m2 s1), netCO2 uptake at night increased by 14% in +N plants, and daytimephotosynthetic capacity was higher, with a maximum value of7.8 µmol m2 s1. The magnitude of dark CO2 fixation during CAM was measured asdawndusk variations in leaf-sap titratable acidity (H+)and as the proportion of malic and citric acids. The contributionfrom re-fixation of respiratory CO2 recycling (measured as thedifference between net CO2 uptake and malic acid accumulation)varied with growth conditions, although it was generally lower(30%) than reported for other bromeliads. Assuming a stoichiometryof 2H+: malate and 3H+: citrate, there was a good agreementbetween titratable protons and enzymatically determined organicacids. The accumulation of citric acid was related to nitrogensupply and PAR regime, increasing from 7.0 mol m3 (+Nplants) to 18 mol m3 (N plants) when plants weretransferred to high PAR; malate: citrate ratios decreased from13.1 to 2.5 under these conditions. Under the low PAR regime, leaf-sap osmotic pressure increasedat night in proportion to malic acid accumulation. However,following the transfer to high PAR for 7 d, there was a muchgreater depletion of soluble sugars at night which correspondedto a decrease in leaf-sap osmotic pressure. Although a rolefor citric acid in CAM has not been properly defined, it appearsthat the accepted stoichiometry for CAM in terms of gas exchange,titratable acidity, malic acid and osmotic pressure may nothold for plants which accumulate citric acid.

The Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 grown at lowCO2 concentration under mixotrophic conditions with fructoseshowed a repression in the ability to fix inoganic carbon. Thisrepression was not due to a diminution in the ability to transportexternal inorganic carbon but could be explained by a decreaseof two enzymatic activities involved in the assimilation ofinorganic carbon: carbonic anhydrase and Rubisco. Carbonic anhydraseactivity was close to 50% lower in mixotrophic than in autotrophiccells. Moreover growth under mixotrophic conditions reducedRubisco activity at all dissolved inorganic carbon concentrationsassayed (560 mM). Maximum Rubisco activity (Vmax decreasedfrom µmol CO2 mg protein-1h-1 in autotrophic cells to2.3 µmol CO2 mg protein-1h-1 in mixotrophic cells. Nosignificant differences in Km(C1) between autotrophic and mixotrophiccells were however observed. The possible mechanisms involvedin the inhibition of Rubisco are discussed.
