18年生杉木不同部位和叶龄针叶光响应研究

在最适温度(30±1℃)、适宜湿度(70%±5％)和正常大气CO2浓度（350±10×10-6V/V）向下,采用活体测定方法,测定了18年生杉木不同部位和叶龄针叶对光照的稳态和动态响应。结果表明,不同部位和叶龄针叶净光合速率（Pn）的光响应特征有明显差异,从上部到下部、从当年生到1年生至2年生,针叶Pn、饱和光强（PSLI）和光补偿点（LCP）降低,表观量子效率（α）提高。经一定时间暗处理后,针叶需要一定光诱导才能获得相应光强下的最大Pn。光诱导期长短与猝发性光强以及叶龄和针叶在树冠中所处的部位有关。猝发性光照越强,所需的光诱导期越长;下部针叶光诱导期短于中部针叶;而1年生针叶短于当年生针叶。不同部位针叶对稳态和动态光照的响应与针叶长期适应所处的光环境有关,而不同叶龄的差异除与生理活性有关外,也可能与所处的光环境有关。     

亚热带常绿人工针叶林冠层内光能利用率

以我国南方主要造林树种湿地松(Pinus elliottii)、马尾松(P.massoniana)、杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)为研究对象,采用Li-6400便携式CO2/H2O红外气体分析仪测定生长中期(7月)和后期(10月)树冠内部不同层次(上层和下层)、方位(阳面和阴面)和叶龄(当年生和1年生)光环境、净光合速率(Pn),计算了光能利用效率(LUE)。结果表明:光合有效辐射(PAR)在树冠不同层次和方位间存在显著差异(P<0.05);当年生叶所处环境PAR高于1年生叶所处环境PAR,即在一定光环境之下发育的叶片往往被后来形成的新叶所遮荫。两时期3树种上层针叶的Pn均高于下层针叶;生长中期下层针叶的LUE高于上层叶,而生长后期层次间LUE相近或下层针叶不及上层针叶。不同方位针叶Pn因树种不同而不同,湿地松和马尾松阳面叶Pn高于阴面叶,而杉木阴面叶Pn高于阳面叶;两时期3树种阴面叶LUE均高于阳面叶。总体而言,叶片Pn和LUE对森林树冠内部光环境做出较强的可塑性。由于当年生针叶生理机能和光环境均优于1年生针叶,两时期3树种当年生针叶Pn均高于1年生针叶;生长中期湿地松和马尾松当年生...

 以亚热带常绿阔叶林下一种常见的灌木富贵草(Pachysandra terminalis）为研究对象,利用气体交换和叶绿素荧光技术研究了其对模拟光斑的光合响应。在同样辐射通量（非光抑制）的情况下,光合诱导过程的快速组分时间内光斑可以提高富贵草对光斑的利用能力（光斑诱导的碳同化量可高出对照48%）。叶绿素荧光测量结果表明：1）光斑与光斑之间的暗期发生了qN弛豫过程;2）暗期之后的光期光化学能量转换效率提高。这两个原因可能是快速组分时间内光斑诱导富贵草的碳同化量提高的主要原因之一。强光光斑簇可以诱导富贵草光抑制

土壤水分对金矮生苹果光合速率的影响

通过对 7年生田间和 2年生盆栽金矮生苹果 ( Maluspumila CV.goldspur)进行不同土壤水分和光照条件下叶片光合速率测定研究 ,结果表明 ,光合速率 ( Pn)与光照强度 ( PAR)和土壤水分 ( SWC)之间存在着密切的关系。当林木供水充足 ,即 SWC( >1 5 % )达到田间持水量 ( FC)的 75 %以上时 ,Pn的光响应曲线为直角双曲线 ,但 SWC低于这一水平时 ,Pn的光响应曲线则为二次抛物线 ,表现出不同程度的光抑制 ,水分胁迫越严重 ,出现光抑制越早。弱光下 ( PAR<5 0 0 μmol· s- 1· m- 2 ) ,光合速率最大值 Pmax出现在 SWC比较低的范围内 ( 70 %～ 75 % FC) ,如果 SWC继续增大时 ,Pn反而下降 ;随着光强的增大 ,Pmax出现的 SWC水平随之提高。金矮生苹果 Pn的日变化规律在不同 SWC下并不相同 ,水分胁迫存在时 ,Pn的日变化表现出“午休”现象 ,水分胁迫越严重 ,“午休”时间越长 ;水分供应充足时 ,Pn从 1 0∶ 0 0的最大值直线下降 ,下午不再回升。轻度水分胁迫时 ,Pn日平均值接近或达到最大值 ;随着 SWC的提高 Pn日平均值反而有下降趋势。在正常光照条件下 (日均值 80 0～ 1 0 0 0μmol· s- 1· m- 2 ) ,当林木处于严重水分胁迫 ,即 SWC低于 FC的 5 5 %时 ,Pn随土壤水分的增加直线上升 ;当土壤水分供应充足 ( SWC>75 % F     

关于光呼吸与光合作用关系的研究——Ⅲ.小麦叶片CO_2猝发及其与光合作用的关系

小麦叶片断光后CO_2猝发强度随断光前光强增加而增强。在空气中,小麦叶片CO_2猝发时间在1.5分钟左右,断光后0.5分钟内猝发最强。在无CO_2气流中,小麦CO_2猝发量显著增强,约为空气中猝发量的5～6倍。体外供给乙醇酸,能增加猝发量和延长猝发时间。随氧浓度提高,光合受抑,而猝发量增强,旺盛期猝发时间缩短。氧浓度对猝发的影响只有在断光前才起作用。氧浓度在2％以下,观察不到猝发。CO_2浓度虽可增加光合,增强猝发之势,但也有抑制光呼吸,降低猝发的效应,而后者一般是主要的。光呼吸,暗呼吸释放的CO_2都能在光下被光合作用再固定,再固定数量随外界CO_2浓度提高而增高,随氧浓度提高而下降。     

阴生植物三七稳态和动态光合特性对氮水平的响应

氮(N)对植物光合作用至关重要。阴生植物在自然生长条件下,接受的是高度动态的光照。然而,探讨N水平对阴生植物动态光照下的光合调控作用的研究相对较少。为了阐明N对阴生植物动态光合作用的调控机制,该研究以典型阴生植物三七(Panax notoginseng)为材料,设置了低氮(LN, 112.5 kg·hm^–2)和高氮(HN,450.0kg·hm^–2)2个N水平,研究动态光和稳态光条件下植株叶片的光合气体交换参数及卡尔文循环酶蛋白的活性和数量。结果表明单位叶面积氮含量(Narea)与光照60s的诱导状态(IS60)负相关,与达到光合作用稳态90%所需的时间(tP90)和达到光合作用稳态100%所需的时间(tP-steady)正相关,表明Narea并不是通过影响核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶(Rubisco)的总活性来调控光诱导反应。短时间的低光间隔对Rubisco活性影响不显著,但明显降低了果糖-1,6-二磷酸酶(FBPase)和景天庚酮糖-1,7-二磷酸酶(SBPase)的活性;当高光照光斑突然出现时, Rubisco活性不受影响,但是S...     

土壤水分胁迫下沙漠葳的光合生理特征

以从美国西部引进的沙生灌木——沙漠葳（Chilopsis linearis）的2年生实生苗为材料,通过盆栽试验于7-9份进行轻度、中度和重度土壤水分胁迫处理并分析其光合生理响应特征.结果显示：（1）60 d中度或重度土壤水分胁迫使沙漠葳的净光合速率（Pn）、水分利用效率（WUE）和光补偿点（LCP）显著降低,暗呼吸速率（DRR）减弱,而气孔导度（Cs）增大,气孔限制值（Ls）变小.（2）Pn日变化在7月份的轻度和中度土壤水分胁迫下表现为双峰曲线,其余月份的胁迫处理均为单峰曲线,同期内各胁迫处理Pn峰值出现的时间基本相同,而且8月份各水分胁迫的Pn值显著高于其它月份;WUE的日变化趋势和Pn日变化相似,而且土壤水分胁迫越严重,其水分利用效率越低;各水分胁迫处理的Pn和Tr光响应拟合曲线均基本呈抛物线形或倒抛物线形.（3）在轻度和中度土壤水分胁迫的初期,Pn降低主要受气孔限制因素的影响,随着胁迫期的延长和胁迫的加重,Pn降低由气孔限制为主逐步转向以非气孔限制为主.研究表明,沙漠葳对干旱胁迫具有一定的适应能力,但长期中度或重度干旱胁迫都会影响沙漠葳的正常生长发育,使其光合生产力大大降低.     

不同光照条件下喜阴植物谢君魔芋对稳态和动态光源的响应特征

谢君魔芋(Amorphophallus xiei)是起源于云南西南地区热带雨林的典型喜阴植物,近年来得到了广泛种植和推广,在种植过程中,谢君魔芋需要采用遮荫栽培模式。为了揭示谢君魔芋对光照强度的适应策略,该研究探讨了生长在不同光照强度下(透光率为50%、29%、17%、7%)谢君魔芋叶片的光合作用特征、光合诱导特征、光合色素含量以及叶片氮素(N)含量和N分配。结果表明:随着生长环境光照强度的降低,单位叶面积和单位叶质量最大净光合速率、光合色素含量、最大羧化速率、最大电子传递速率及比叶面积均增大,而暗呼吸和光补偿点均减小。在光合诱导过程中,生长在透光率为17%光环境中的谢君魔芋完成50%光合诱导所需的时间最短,约为81.4 s;在光诱导进行10 min时,诱导状态最高,为87.3%。完成50%和90%光合诱导所需的时间与低光下初始气孔导度呈负相关关系。随着生长光照强度降低,叶片中的N分配到羧化组分和生物能转化组分中的比例先增大后减小,在透光率为17%的光环境下具有最大值;而叶片中的N分配到捕光色素组分中的比例随着生长环境光照强度降低而增加。该研究结果表明,喜阴植物谢君魔芋通过加强对低光和动态光源的利用能力及有效的N资源分配策略来适应低光照环境。     

CO2浓度和辐射强度变化对沙柳光合作用速率影响的模拟研究

沙柳是毛乌素沙地防护林的主要灌木树种 ,模拟研究沙柳对 CO2 浓度和辐射强度的响应有利于准确有效地制定全球变化下的沙漠化防治和水土流失的战略对策。结果表明 ,沙柳的光合作用速率对 CO2 浓度的响应表现为线性关系 ,对辐射的响应表现为对数函数关系。沙柳光合作用速率有随辐射强度增加和 /或 CO2 浓度的升高而增大的变化规律。CO2 浓度越高 ,沙柳的光合作用速率对辐射的反应越明显。同样 ,辐射越强 ,沙柳的光合作用速率对 CO2 浓度的反应越敏感。在高辐射条件下增加大气中 CO2 的“施肥效应”比低辐射条件下要显著。土壤干旱对沙柳的光合和暗呼吸都有抑制作用 ,使沙柳的生理过程受到影响 ,从而使沙柳对 CO2 浓度和辐射的反应规律不如土壤水分适宜时显著。     

Phytochrome modulation of blue light-induced chloroplast movements in Arabidopsis

Photometric analysis of chloroplast movements in various phytochrome (phy) mutants of Arabidopsis showed that phyA, B, and D are not required for chloroplast movements because blue light (BL)-dependent chloroplast migration still occurs in these mutants. However, mutants lacking phyA or phyB showed an enhanced response at fluence rates of BL above 10 micromol m-2 s-1. Overexpression of phyA or phyB resulted in an enhancement of the low-light response. Analysis of chloroplast movements within the range of BL intensities in which the transition between the low- and high-light responses occur (1.5-15 micromol m-2 s-1) revealed a transient increase in light transmittance through leaves, indicative of the high-light response, followed by a decrease in transmittance to a value below that measured before the BL treatment, indicative of the low-light response. A biphasic response was not observed for phyABD leaves exposed to the same fluence rate of BL, suggesting that phys play a role in modulating the transition between the low- and high-light chloroplast movement responses of Arabidopsis.     

遮荫和全光下生长的棉花光合作用和叶绿素荧光特征

 遮荫条件下（遮荫下光强相当于自然光强的40％左右）棉花(Gossypium hirsutum)叶片光合速率明显降低,仅为自然光强下生长叶片的30%～40％,叶片中RuBP羧化酶活性降低,而表观量子效率(AQY)较高。不同光照条件下生长的棉花叶片对短时间持续光强的光合诱导过程有明显的差异,由弱光转到强光下,自然光强下生长的叶片的Pn、Gs、ΦPSⅡ及非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)都能在较短的时间内达到最大值,而遮荫叶片需要的时间较长;遮荫下生长的棉花叶片的实际光化学效率,随光强的增加下降幅度较大,而自然光照下生长的叶片下降幅度较小;自然光照下生长的叶片的NPQ随光强的升高达到较高水平,而遮荫叶片在较低的光强下即达到最大值,此时NPQ较低,遮荫叶片依赖于叶黄素循环的能量耗散水平较低。遮荫叶片较低的光合速率以及过剩光能耗散能力是其转入自然强光后光抑制严重的主要原因。     

Measurements of cytochrome f and P-700 in intact leaves of Sinapis alba grown under high-light and low-light conditions

The oxidation and reduction of cytochrome f and P-700 is measured spectrophotometrically in leaves of low-light and high-light plants. After illumination with red light, an induction phenomenon for cytochrome f oxidation is observed which indicates a regulation of photosystem I activity through energy distribution between the pigment systems by the energy state of the membrane. After far-red excitation the reduction of cytochrome f in the dark is much slower in low-light leaves. This shows that cyclic electron transport is not improved in low-light plants under these conditions. P-700 is oxidized on excitation with far-red light. However, with high intensities of far-red light, P-700 is partially reduced again which is due to a low extent of photosystem II excitation with the far-red used in the experiments. The low-light leaves show greater sensitivity of photosystem II to this excitation. The initial rate of the cytochrome f oxidation-rate is the same in low-light and high-light leaves. This shows that several P-700 are connected with only one electron transport chain. The consequences of these results concerning the tripartite concept and the photosynthetic unit are discussed. In the high-light plants the experimental data can be well explained by the tripartite organization of the photosynthetic unit. In low-light plants, however, a multipartite organization has to be postulated. In the partition regions of the grana, several antennae systems I, antennae systems II, and light-harvesting complexes can communicate with one electron transport chain.Abbreviations CP I P-700-chlorophyll a-protein - Cyt f cytochrome f - DCMU 3-(3,4 dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone - LA leaf-area - PhAR photosynthetically active radiation - PS photosystem     

Sapling growth and survivorship as a function of light in a mesic forest of southeast Texas, USA

For seven species in a mature mesic forest in southeast Texas, we estimated species-specific parameters representing radial growth in high light and low light for tree saplings. Shade-intolerant species had higher asymptotic growth rates and lower low-light growth than tolerant species. Inspection of species positions on graphs of low-light growth versus high-light growth suggested that there was a trade-off between these two processes across species. By linking functions of growth versus light and mortality versus growth, we also found that shade-intolerant species had higher mortality risk at low light and stronger sensitivity of mortality to light than shade-tolerant species. Moreover, we found that low-light survival and high-light growth were negatively correlated across species. In contrast to northern hardwood forests, where sapling survival in low light may be achieved at the expense of growth, our results suggested that shade-tolerant species in this southern mixed forest can grow faster as well as survive better than shade-intolerant species in low light. We conclude that both sapling growth and survival are important components of shade tolerance and their relationships may be system-specific.     

Photosynthesis and respiration in Alocasia macrorrhiza following transfers to high and low light

Summary Photosynthetic capacities and respiration rates of Alocasia macrorrhiza leaves were measured for 4 weeks following reciprocal transfers between high (20% of full sun) and low (1% of full sun) light environments. Photosynthetic capacities and respiration rates of mature, high-light leaves were 1.7 and 4.5 times those of low-light leaves, respectively. Following transfer, respiration rates adjusted within 1 week to those characteristic of plants grown in the new environment. By contrast, photosynthetic capacities either did not adjust or changed only slowly following transfer. Most of the difference in respiration between high- and low-light leaves was related to the carbohydrate status as determined by the daily PFD and little was directly related to the maintenance costs of the photosynthetic apparatus. Leaf construction cost was directly proportional to maximum photosynthetic capacity. Consequently, although daily carbon gain per unit leaf area was the same for low-light and high to low-light transferred plants within a week after transfer, the carbon return per unit of carbon investment in the leaves remained lower in the high to low transfer plants throughout the 4 week measurement period. Conversely, in high-light, the low leaf construction cost of the low to high-light transferred plants resulted in carbon gain per unit investment just as high as that of the high-light plants.     

Effects of Light intensity on Photosynthetic Characteristics of Wheat Seedling

The contents of pigments and chlorophyll-protein complexes, fluorescence characteristics and electron transport rate were compared for wheat seedlings grown under different light intensities. Leaves of wheat seedlings grown under low-light intensity (2 klx) had lower chlorophyll and carotenoid contents on leaf area or fresh weight basis, a lower ratio of chlorophyll a/b, lower CPIa and CPI contents in photosynthetic membranes than those of wheat seedlings grown under high-light intensity (20 klx). However, the LHCP content in photosynthetic membranes was higher in the former. The kinetic studies of fluorescence induction showed that wheat seedlings grown under low-light intensity possessed a bigger photosynthetic unit, lower PSⅡ activity and lower efficiency of primary energy conversion than those grown under high-light intensity. Moreover. lower electron transport rate was found in the chloroplasts of the former.     

Light-intensity-dependent expression of Lhc gene family encoding light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b proteins of photosystem II in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Excessive light conditions repressed the levels of mRNAs accumulation of multiple Lhc genes encoding light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b (LHC) proteins of photosystem (PS)II in the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The light intensity required for the repression tended to decrease with lowering temperature or CO(2) concentration. The responses of six LhcII genes encoding the major LHC (LHCII) proteins and two genes (Lhcb4 and Lhcb5) encoding the minor LHC proteins of PSII (CP29 and CP26) were similar. The results indicate that the expression of these Lhc genes is coordinately repressed when the energy input through the antenna systems exceeds the requirement for CO(2) assimilation. The Lhc mRNA level repressed under high-light conditions was partially recovered by adding the electron transport inhibitor 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, suggesting that redox signaling via photosynthetic electron carriers is involved in the gene regulation. However, the mRNA level was still considerably lower under high-light than under low-light conditions even in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. Repression of the Lhc genes by high light was prominent even in the mutants deficient in the reaction center(s) of PSII or both PSI and PSII. The results indicate that two alternative processes are involved in the repression of Lhc genes under high-light conditions, one of which is independent of the photosynthetic reaction centers and electron transport events.     

RESPONSE OF LEAF ANATOMY AND PHOTOSYNTHETIC CAPACITY IN ALOCASIA MACRORRHIZA (ARACEAE) TO A TRANSFER FROM LOW TO HIGH LIGHT

Alocasia macrorrhiza plants were grown in 1% and 20% full sunlight, and their leaf anatomical and physiological parameters were measured. Total leaf thickness was 41% greater and mesophyll thickness was 52% greater in high-light leaves than in low-light leaves. This increase in thickness resulted from both increased cell size and number. Maximum leaf photosynthetic capacity was also 66% greater in high- than in low-light leaves. When low-light plants were transferred to high light, the thickness of mature leaves did not increase but the thickness of the first leaf to expand after the transfer was significantly greater than that of the low-light leaves. Thus, only leaves that were still expanding at the time of transfer developed leaf thickness greater than plants remaining in low light. Fully mature leaves showed no change in photosynthetic capacity in response to transfer. Leaves that had just completed expansion at the time of low- to high-light transfer were able to develop slightly higher maximum photosynthetic capacities than older leaves. However, full photosynthetic acclimation to the new light environment did not occur until the second new leaf expanded after transfer. These results are discussed in relation to the timing and mechanisms of whole plant acclimation to increased light.
