短期增强UV-B辐射对青榨槭幼苗生理特性的影响

在中国科学院茂县生态站选择2年生青榨槭幼苗进行室外盆栽实验，以人工增强0.27 W·m^-2(7.7 kJ·m^-2·d^-1)的UV-B辐射剂量，研究模拟当地平流层臭氧削减15%时近地面太阳UV B的增强对木本植物幼苗生理生态适应性的影响.处理50 d后，移除UV-B处理装置，就地测定气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数，并取样测定叶绿素及UV吸收物质含量.结果表明，增强UV-B辐射显著降低了青榨槭幼苗叶片最大净光合速率Pmax(对照为6.214，处理为4.452)，显著增加叶片暗呼吸速率Rd(对照为0.413，处理为1.295)和光补偿点LCP(对照为21.629，处理为59.861)，但对表观量子速率a(对照为0.021，处理为0.032)影响不明显；它降低青榨幼苗每日净光合速率和水分利用效率，以及原初光化学效率(Fv/Fm)和实际光化学量子产量(ΦPSП).此外，增强UV-B辐射使叶片叶绿素a、b含量降低(对照为16.23，5.39，处理为13.17，4.93)，但对叶绿素b含量影响未达显著水平.增强UV-B处理降低了青榨槭幼苗UV吸收物质含量(对照为0.87，处理为0.79).光合指标、叶绿素荧光指标和叶绿素含量的变化有较好的一致性，表明增强UV-B对青榨槭幼苗的光合作用可能有一定的抑制作用.

Physiological responses of 2-year-old Acer davidii seedlings to short-term enhanced UV-B radiation

At the Maoxian Ecological Experimental Station of Chinese Academy of Sciences in northwest Sichuan Province, 2-year-old native maple(Acer davidii) seedlings were potted outdoors with enhanced UV-B radiation(280 - 320 nm) of 0.27 W x m(-2) (7.7 kJ x m(-2) x d(-1)), which was approximated to the predicted enhanced UV-B reaching the earth surface when stratosphere ozone was depleted by 15% in the local area, with the control plant received ambient UV-B. The gas exchange index and chlorophyll fluorescence, and the contents of chlorophyll and UV-absorbing compounds were examined after 50 days of the radiation. The results showed that enhanced UV-B radiation significantly lowered the maximal net photosynthetic rate (CK = 6.214, TR = 4.452), raised the dark respiration rate(CK = 0.413, TR = 1.295) and light compensation point (CK = 21.629, TR = 59.861), but had little effect on quantum yield (CK = 0.021, TR = 0.032). Under enhanced UV-B radiation, the diurnal changes in net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, quantum efficiency of photosystem II centers (Fv/Fm), and quantum yield of photosystem II photochemistry (phi(pspi)) were reduced, chlorophyll a, total chlorophylls, and chlorophyll a/b (CK= 16.23, 5.39, TR = 13.17, 4.93) were also markedly reduced, but chlorophyll b remained nearly unchanged. Contrary to the previous studies, enhanced UV-B radiation decreased the content of UV-absorbing compounds (CK = 0.87, TR = 0.79) in 2-year-old Acer davidii seedling leaves, indicating that the measurement of leaf UV-B absorbing compounds didn't necessarily provide a good indicator of plant tolerance to UV-B. It could be concluded that enhanced UV-B radiation had some inhibitory effects on the photosynthesis of Acer davidii seedlings. Long-term researches are necessary to confirm this conclusion.
