冠层部位对金叶女贞叶片结构的影响

金叶女贞是一种在园林绿化上广泛应用的彩叶植物,上层叶金黄色,下层叶深绿色。本文利用常规植物制片技术,研究了叶绿素缺少的金叶女贞上层金叶和下层绿叶的解剖结构。结果表明:(1)金叶女贞上层金叶和下层绿叶的上表皮无显著差异,但是下层绿叶的下表皮细胞较小,气孔密度较低;(2)下层绿叶的叶肉组织较薄,细胞较大,排列疏松;(3)在下层绿叶中叶绿体类囊体片层排列密集,叶肉组织内单位体积叶绿体数量较少;(4)冠层部位对光合色素的积累有明显影响。叶绿素缺少的金叶女贞叶片结构显著受到冠层部位的影响,光合色素的变化幅度较一般植物更大,不同冠层部位叶片叶色有明显差异,可以作为研究植物冠层部位对叶形态、结构和生理生化影响的好材料。     

上海新江湾地区废弃地低干扰植物群落优势树种的光合生理生态特征

以上海市杨浦区原废弃地(新江湾地区)半自然群落的主要优势树种为对象,测定不同生活型植株在夏季不同生境下叶片的光合特性,从光合生理生态角度分析低干扰条件下上海城市废弃地的植物群落次生演替过程的特点,并结合环境因子分析并预测植物群落结构的动态变化。结果表明:(1)冠层树种光合作用日变化曲线呈双峰型,林窗树种呈单峰型,而林下树种呈不规则变化,体现出亚热带地区植物在夏季典型气候下的"光合午休"现象,而生境特点同时也影响植物光利用对策。(2)冠层成年树以落叶树种刺槐和朴树的日均净光合速率最高,且具有较高的光饱和点;在林下生境中,以强耐阴灌木植物胡颓子的日均净光合速率最高,其次为常绿树种香樟和女贞的幼树和幼苗,而林下落叶树种日均净光合速率均较低。(3)影响冠层树种的净光合速率因子中,生态因子是第一主成分,而对于林窗树种,第一主成分则是生理因子。(4)由于阳性落叶树种具有更高效的光合效率,能迅速占领上层空间,新江湾区域人为低干扰植物群落的演替早期均以扩散能力较强的先锋性树种为主;乔木群落形成后,林下更新苗则以光适应范围较宽的香樟、女贞为主,同时,上层落叶树种大规模自然衰退使得香樟和女贞逐步替代落叶树种。     

典型阔叶红松林主要树种叶性状的垂直变异及经济策略

分析不同树种叶片性状的变化有助于了解植物群落结构。该文通过对典型阔叶红松(Pinus koraiensis)林15种阔叶树种的比叶质量、叶片厚度、叶干物质含量、叶绿素含量指数、叶片碳、氮、磷含量的测定, 分析了冠层高度对叶性状及叶性状间相关关系的影响。结果表明, 水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica)和大青杨(Populus ussuriensis)上层的比叶质量显著大于下层, 而其他树种冠层间的比叶质量无显著变化; 叶绿素含量指数在白桦(Betula platyphylla)和春榆(Ulmus japonica)冠层间的分布分别为上层显著大于下层和上层显著大于中层; 单位质量氮含量在水曲柳的中层显著大于上层。叶片性状间存在着广泛的相关性, 比叶质量与叶片厚度、干物质含量在三层间均呈显著正相关关系, 而有些性状, 只在一或二个冠层中存在一定的相关性。山杨(Populus davidiana)和大青杨的叶片倾向于选择光合能力较低、营养浓度较低、呼吸速率较慢的一端, 而黄檗(Phellodendron amurense)和山槐(Maackia amurensis)叶片更倾向于光合能力强、营养物质浓度高的一端。不同树种对光照响应的差异可能会改变不同冠层中叶片的形态和化学性状, 从而有助于群落构建和物种共存。

香果树实生苗的光合特性及其与环境因子的关系

为确定香果树实生苗的适生环境并为其自然更新提出有针对性策略,研究了不同生境(冠下、冠缘、林窗和林缘)中2年生香果树实生苗的净光合速率、水分利用效率、叶绿素含量、苗高、基径、生物量等的变化及其与生态因子之间的关系.结果表明: 4种生境中的光合有效辐射最大值为50～1380 μmol·m^-2·s^-1,冠下和冠缘中香果树实生苗的净光合速率日变化呈单峰型,而林窗和林缘实生苗的净光合速率日变化呈双峰型;香果树实生苗为耐阴植物,但耐阴能力较弱,其功能叶的光饱和点、补偿点和暗呼吸在4种生境中大小顺序为: 林缘>林窗>冠缘>冠下,表观量子效率的变化规律与之相反;林窗和冠缘2种生境中香果树实生苗的适应能力较强,叶片的蒸腾速率、气孔导度、水分利用效率和净光合速率较高;林窗中香果树实生苗叶片的叶绿素含量较低,但实生苗的生长速度最快,生物量最大;香果树实生苗的净光合速率与光合有效辐射和气孔导度呈显著正相关.对于冠下生境,需降低林冠层密度,增加透光率,以利于香果树实生苗的光合作用;对于林缘生境,则需要增加植被盖度,降低光照强度,以利于其快速生长.     

林窗面积对香椿生长及光合生理特性的影响

研究了川中丘陵区柏木人工林内人造林窗面积[50 m2(Ⅰ),100 m2(Ⅱ)和200 m2(Ⅲ),旷地(CK)]对香椿生长、光合特性及相关生理特征的影响。结果表明:林窗面积对香椿的树高、地径和冠面积影响显著,以林窗Ⅱ最大,CK最小;随着林窗面积的增加,香椿的日均净光合速率增加,但午时的净光合速率初始量子效率、近光饱和点、最大净光合速率、光氮利用率、光能利用效率都显著降低,光合能力下降;香椿的叶绿素a/b、叶片厚度、比叶鲜重、比叶干重、单位面积叶氮含量、丙二醛、超氧化物歧化酶及可溶性蛋白含量随着林窗面积的增加而增加,而叶绿素a、叶绿素b和类胡萝卜素含量都降低,表明香椿对因林窗面积变化而导致的光强改变有较强的适应性,这在一定程度上促进了生长及光合能力的差异;旷地内香椿的"光合午休"及林窗内日均Pn的降低可归因于非气孔因素限制。说明香椿对生境的变化适应性较强,而且100 m2的林窗在其形成初期能有效促进香椿维持较高的生产力和光合能力。     

濒危植物长叶榧的光合生理生态特性

利用Li-6400 XT便携式光合作用仪对林窗、林缘、林下3种生境中的长叶榧(Torreya ackii)在春、夏、秋、冬4个季节里的光合生理生态指标进行测定,探讨3种生境中长叶榧光合能力的季节变化及其对不同光环境的响应,分析其濒危机制,为长叶榧的迁地保护和种群的繁衍复壮提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)林窗、林缘的长叶榧净光合速率(Pn)日变化在夏季呈"双峰"曲线,其它3个季节均呈"单峰"曲线;林下的Pn日变化在4个季节均呈"单峰"曲线。(2)3种生境中最大净光合速率(Pnmax)、光饱和点(LSP)、表观量子效率(AQY)、最大羧化速率(Vcmax)、最大电子传递速率(Jmax)、磷酸丙糖利用率(TPU)均为夏季最高,使得夏季有较强的光合作用能力,但夏季林窗、林缘的长叶榧出现光合"午休"现象,光补偿点(LCP)、暗呼吸速率(Rd)也较高,使得夏季林窗生境的长叶榧日均Pn明显低于于秋季,林缘的日均Pn与秋季差异不显著。(3)4个季节的日均Pn、Pnmax、LSP、Vcmax、Jma、TPU均为林窗最高,林窗与林下差异显著,表明长叶榧具有阳性植物的特点,适宜生长在光照较强的林窗生境。(4)在生长旺盛的夏、秋季,长叶榧的LSP比伴生物种低,LCP比伴生物种高,对光适应的生态幅度较窄;与伴生物种相比,长叶榧的Pn较低,光合能力较弱,在激烈的种间竞争中处于不利地位,可能成为其濒危的一个重要原因。     

生境对药食两用植物接骨草的生长、叶绿素含量与叶绿素荧光特性的影响

干季晴天橡胶林林窗温度剖线分布特征

以林窗北侧林缘为中心,研究了西双版纳地区橡胶林林窗及周国Ｎ－Ｓ样带上气温水平梯度分布。结果表明：干季落叶期林窗及周边主要热力作用面在地面,但林缘的增温效应也相当明显,各热力作用面热量收支是林窗小气候形成的物理基础;林缘冠层结构,林缘乔木高度与林窗直径之比,太阳高度角,方位角,天气状况将影响林窗辐射平衡各分量的变化,林缘乔木群落结构的不同是造成林窗小气候差异最直接的原因;     

秦岭火地塘林区锐齿栎群落中6种植物光合特性研究

用Li-6400便携式光合测定系统测定了火地塘林区主要成林树种锐齿栎群落中6种植物的光合特性。结果表明：（1）从林冠层到草本层,光合有效辐射强度明显减弱,并且乔木层、灌木层和草本层之间的差异均达到了显著水平（P〈0．05）;（2）乔木层锐齿栎的光合速率日变化为“双峰”曲线,表现出明显的“午休”现象,而林下植物灌木层和草本层光合速率日变化整体上呈“单峰”曲线,无“午休”现象;（3）光饱和点和光补偿点均表现为乔木〉灌木〉草本。表明植物光合“午休”现象是由中午高光强、高气温和低湿度引起的。并非某些植物的特性．植物的光合特性与其生境特点相符。     

Photosynthetic characteristics of three varieties of Lilium “Oriental Hybrids” in the central areas of Yunnan Province, China

To understand the ecophysiological adapta-tion of Lilium "Oriental Hybrids", which are grown for their commercial bulbs, the gas exchange, leaf N and chlorophyll content of the three varieties were investigated in the central areas of the Yunnan Province. Among the three varieties, light-saturated photosynthetic rate at ambient CO2 (Amax) of Tiber was the highest, while that of Siberia was the lowest. The difference in the Amax was related to the carboxylation efficiency (CE), leaf mass per unit area and leaf N content per mass, which indicated that their photosynthetic capacity was influenced by the activity and/or the quantity of Rubisco. The three vari-eties had lower photosynthetic saturation points and pho-tosynthetic compensation points, but the photosynthetic rates were not decreased up to 2000 μmol.m-2s-1 of the light intensity. This indicates that the three varieties had broad adaptability to light intensity. There were signifi-cant differences in the photosynthetic optimum temper-ature among the three varieties. Siberia had the highest photosynthetic optimum temperature (25.5℃-34.9℃), and is likely to grow well in warm areas. Sorbonne had the lowest photosynthetic optimum temperature (19.3℃-25.6℃), and its growth is favored in cool areas. Tiber can maintain a high photosynthetic rate within a wide range of temperature. Therefore, Tiber is the most suitable variety for the climate in the central areas of the Yunnan Province, China.     

The grand design of photosynthesis: Acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to environmental cues

Dynamic acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus in response to environmental cues, particularly light quantity and quality, is a widely-observed and important phenomenon which contributes to the tolerance of plants against stress and helps to maintain, as far as possible, optimal photosynthetic efficiency and resource utilization. This mini-review represents a scrutiny of a number of possible photoreceptors (including the two photosystems acting as light sensors) and signal transducers that may be involved in producing acclimation responses. We suggest that regulation by signal transduction may be effected at each of several possible points, and that there are multiple regulatory mechanisms for photosynthetic acclimation.Abbreviations FR far-red light - LHC I, LHC II light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of PS I and PS II, respectively - P700 primary electron donor of PS I - Pmax maximum photosynthetic capacity - Q_A primary quinone electron acceptor of PS II - q_N, q_P non-photochemical and photochemical quenching, respectively - R red light     

Limited acclimation of photosynthesis to blue light in the seaweed Gracilaria tenuistipitata

Changes in photosynthetic capacity of the seaweed Gracilaria tenuistipitata Zhang et Xia acclimated to monochromatic blue light were studied. For this purpose, affinity for external inorganic carbon, light use efficiency, carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) activity and content of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco; EC 4.1.1.39) were determined in thalli acclimated to 45 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹ of blue light. Thalli cultured in white light of the same photon fluence rate were used as a control. Lower maximal photosynthetic rates (i.e. at light and carbon saturation) were obtained in the thalli cultured in blue light. Apparently, this lower photosynthetic capacity was not due to differences in affinity and/or capacity for use of external dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) since (1) CA activity did not change significantly and (2) similar values of photosynthetic conductance for DIC at alkaline pH were obtained (0.95 × 10⁻⁶ m s⁻¹). In addition, the pool size of Rubisco was not modified by the blue light treatment since there were no significant differences in Rubisco content between white (12.14% of soluble proteins) and blue light (12.13% of soluble proteins) treatments. In contrast, F _v/ F _m was increased by 11% and photosynthetic efficiency for oxygen production was reduced by 50% in blue light. This absence of correlation between quantum yields for maximum stable charge separation of photosystem II and oxygen evolution suggests that blue light promote changes in rates of photosynthetic electron flow.     

云锦杜鹃叶片光合作用日变化特征

自然条件下,对云锦杜鹃光合作用日进程和光响应进行了观测,结果表明:夏季晴天云锦杜鹃阳叶净光合速率日进程曲线为"双峰"型,光合效率午间明显降低.胞间CO2浓度的日进程基本与净光合速率相反,中午胞间CO2浓度增高表明净光合速率午间降低主要受非气孔限制因素的影响.暗呼吸速率日进程呈单峰曲线,中午最高.阴叶净光合速率在一天的大部分时间里变化不大.一天分时段光响应试验表明,阳叶饱和光强和表观量子效率上午较高,下午有所降低,而光补偿点下午有所上升.阴叶的这些光合参数在上午和下午没有明显的变化.这些研究结果表明,强光下光抑制的发生是引起云锦杜鹃阳叶光合效率午间降低的重要原因.逐步多元回归和通径分析表明,光合有效辐射和空气温度是直接影响净光合速率日变化的主要因子.     

Complementary ecophysiological strategies combine to facilitate survival in the hostile conditions of a deep chlorophyll maximum

In the deep, cooler layers of clear, nutrient-poor, stratified water bodies, phytoplankton often accumulate to form a thin band or "deep chlorophyll maximum" (DCM) of ecological importance. Under such conditions, these photosynthetic microorganisms may be close to their physiological compensation points and to the boundaries of their ecological tolerance. To grow and survive any resulting energy limitation, DCM species are thought to exhibit highly specialised or flexible acclimation strategies. In this study, we investigated several of the adaptable ecophysiological strategies potentially employed by one such species, Chlamydomonas acidophila: a motile, unicellular, phytoplanktonic flagellate that often dominates the DCM in stratified, acidic lakes. Physiological and behavioural responses were measured in laboratory experiments and were subsequently related to field observations. Results showed moderate light compensation points for photosynthesis and growth at 22°C, relatively low maintenance costs, a behavioural preference for low to moderate light, and a decreased compensation point for photosynthesis at 8°C. Even though this flagellated alga exhibited a physiologically mediated diel vertical migration in the field, migrating upwards slightly during the day, the ambient light reaching the DCM was below compensation points, and so calculations of daily net photosynthetic gain showed that survival by purely autotrophic means was not possible. Results suggested that strategies such as low-light acclimation, small-scale directed movements towards light, a capacity for mixotrophic growth, acclimation to low temperature, in situ exposure to low O(2), high CO(2) and high P concentrations, and an avoidance of predation, could combine to help overcome this energetic dilemma and explain the occurrence of the DCM. Therefore, corroborating the deceptive ecophysiological complexity of this and similar organisms, only a suite of complementary strategies can facilitate the survival of C. acidophila in this DCM.     

Response of Growth Dynamics of Two Spring Geophytes to Light Regime in a Lime-Beech Forest

Blomaee accumulation, leaf longevity and growth rate of two spring forest geophytes, Scllla blfolla L. and Arum maculatum L. were estimated separately for three size groups within each population of these species. Despite the differences in leaf longevity, both species showed a similar pattern of blomass accumulation In relation to their phenologles and reproductive demands. Eco-physlological acclimation to changing light environment was assumed through photosynthetic parameters and dynamics of leaf area Index In the predominant size group of each species. A light response curve was measured under natural light for each species through the continuum of Its phenology to quantify the photosynthetic photon flux density at light saturation, light-saturated photosynthetic rate, light compensation point, and dark respiration. Light-saturated assimilation per leaf area basis, dark respiration rate and light compensation points were significantly higher in S. blfolla relative to A. maculatum. However, the acclimation of photosynthesis that would respond to light changes in environment was not found in S. bifolla. In contrast, In A. maculatum a marked shift In the light dependence of photosynthesis through the season was noticed, which resulted In a strong photosynthetic acclimation to the low-light conditions. Accompanied by significant leaf area Index, this efficient low-light photosynthesis enabled greater leaf longevity, and consequently longer accumulative period to A. maculatum. From the different parameters that we determined （both photosynthetic acclimation and growth strategy） it would appear that these species belong to two distinct subgroups： S. blfolla to the early and A. maculatum to the late vernals.     

Natural selection on light response curve parameters in the herbaceous annual, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Impatiens capensis</Emphasis>

We tested for genetic variation in light response curves and their acclimation to sun versus shade in recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the annual species Impatiens capensis derived from a cross between sun and shade populations. We exposed replicates of 49 RILs to experimentally manipulated light levels (open versus shade) in a greenhouse and measured photosynthetic light response curves, height, biomass, and reproduction. Plants were taller in the shade treatment, but we were unable to detect differences between light treatments (i.e., acclimation) in the maximal rate of photosynthesis, the light compensation point, or the quantum efficiency of photosynthesis. Genotypic selection analyses indicated that higher maximal rates of carbon assimilation and higher light compensation points (typical of sun-acclimated light curves) were favored by natural selection in both light treatments. Thus, it appears that the pattern of selection on photosynthetic parameters may not depend on light environment in this species.M. Shane Heschel and John R. Stinchcombe contributed equally to the paper.     

Sex-linked photosynthetic physiologic research and the evolutionary ecological analysis in living fossil plant, Ginkgo biloba L.

Ginkgo is an ancient dioecious plant. At present, only Ginkgo biloba L. still exists as a living fossil plant. Botanists have studied it from different aspects in the world due to its unique characteristics. Plant sex physiological ecology is still a knowledge gap in plant ecology. This article measured the photosynthetic traits of adult male and female ginkgoes which grew in suitable environment condition. The result indicated that male and female ginkgoes had similar response to light. The light saturate points (LSP), light compensate point (LCP) and dark respiration rate (Rd) between male and female were also of insignificant differences. However, the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of female ginkgo was significantly higher than male. From the view of evolution and through comparison with other gymnosperms and angiosperms, the photosynthetic capacity of ginkgo is not obviously lower than that of other plants. It gave us a clue that the photosynthetic capacity was not the direct reason, which restricted the distribution of ginkgo in the Tertiary.
