Abstract: | Intact leaves of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson) from plants grown in a range of controlled temperatures from 15/10 to 30/25°C were
exposed to a photon flux density (PFD) of 1500 μmol·m−2·s−1 at leaf temperatures between 10 and 25°C. Photoinhibition and recovery were followed at the same temperatures and at a PFD
of 20 μmol·m−2·s−1, by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence at 77 K and 692 nm, by measuring the photon yield of photosynthetic O2 evolution and light-saturated net photosynthetic CO2 uptake. The growth of plants at low temperatures resulted in chronic photoinhibition as evident from reduced fluorescence
and photon yields. However, low-temperature-grown plants apparently had a higher capacity to dissipate excess excitation energy
than leaves from plants grown at high temperatures. Induced photoinhibition, from exposure to a PFD above that during growth,
was less severe in low-temperature-grown plants, particularly at high exposure temperatures. Net changes in the instantaneous
fluorescence,F
0, indicated that little or no photoinhibition occurred when low-temperature-grown plants were exposed to high-light at high
temperatures. In contrast, high-temperature-grown plants were highly susceptible to photoinhibitory damage at all exposure
temperatures. These data indicate acclimation in photosynthesis and changes in the capacity to dissipate excess excitation
energy occurred in kiwifruit leaves with changes in growth temperature. Both processes contributed to changes in susceptibility
to photoinhibition at the different growth temperatures. However, growth temperature also affected the capacity for recovery,
with leaves from plants grown at low temperatures having moderate rates of recovery at low temperatures compared with leaves
from plants grown at high temperatures which had negligible recovery. This also contributed to the reduced susceptibility
to photoinhibition in low-temperature-grown plants. However, extreme photoinhibition resulted in severe reductions in the
efficiency and capacity for photosynthesis. |
