光合作用测定及研究中一些值得注意的问题

随着科学研究的深入和现代化光合测定系统的推广,越来越多的植物生理学和植物生态学以及农学、林学、园艺学和遗传学的研究均涉及叶片光合作用的测定。用于叶片光合测定的仪器种类和数量越来越多。这类仪器的使用简便、快捷,几乎人人都能使用,即使对光合作用一无所知的人也可以用它在2min内测得一组光合速率及有关的参数。然而,尽管使用这类仪器的人很多,但能利用所得资料写出高水平科学论文的人却很少。其中的原因主要的可能是使用者缺乏足够的有关光合作用的背景知识和测定及研究经验,测定方法不当,所得结果不可靠：或者实验设计不合理,难以说明问题;或者是对相关研究现状不清楚,不能明确地提出科学问题;或者是对光合作用的基础知识知之太少,不能对所得结果作出恰当的分析与解释。这几种情况也许兼而有之。为了充分发挥这类现代化但价格昂贵的仪器的作用,将光合作用研究推向深入,这里将光合测定与研究中一些常见的问题提出来,以引起初学者们的注意。     

叶子的光合作用和同化物质消耗的关系

一系列的研究者确定在抑制同化物质外运时,葉子的光合作用强度降低。因为同化物质的外运是和它的消耗联系着的,所以正如所证明的,我们可以看到光合作用对同化物质被植物消耗的依赖性。我们的工作中,这种关系是应用C~(14)O_2同位素的方法对茶豆植物进行研究的。这植物在温室内用含有微量元素的一半濃度的溶液培养。     

干旱胁迫下内生真菌感染对黑麦草实验种群光合、蒸腾和水分利用的影响

 以黑麦草(Lolium perenne L．)为实验材料,研究在不同强度的干旱胁迫下内生真菌(Neotyphodium lolii (原 Acremonium lolii))感染对其净同化速率、蒸腾速率和水分利用效率的影响。结果显示：1)在干旱胁迫前期,内生真菌感染(EI)种群和非感染(EF)种群之间的群体净同化速率无显著差异;到胁迫后期,在重度胁迫下EI种群的净同化速率高于EF种群;复水后,各个胁迫强度EI和EF种群的净同化速率均迅速恢复,差异消失;2)在群体蒸腾速率上,干旱胁迫对其影响大于内生真菌的影响;3)在群体水分利用效率上,只是在重度胁迫后期,EI种群才高于EF种群。

 为揭示我国暖温带地区辽东栎群落若干优势植物光合作用随CO2浓度升高而变化的特点,用自行设计的同化室装置对自然生长状态下的辽东栎(Quercus liaotungensis KOidz．)、大叶白蜡(Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr．)、蒙椴(Tilia mongolica Maxim．)、五角枫(Acer mono Maxim．),以及优势灌木六道木(Abelia biflora Turcz．)、毛榛(Corylus mandshurica Maxim．)等6种木本植物进行升高CO2浓度处理,测定了这几种植物净光合速率的变化。加倍CO2浓度对6种植物的光合作用有不同程度的促进作用,净光合速率增加的程度从37％到93％不等,以辽东栎受到的促进作用最大,六道木最小,平均增加75％。净光合作用随CO2浓度升高而增加的程度中乔木种类略高于灌木种类。在夏季和秋季进行的日动态测定都表现出加倍CO2浓度对6种木本植物净光合速率的明显的促进作用。     

植物光合作用限制因素与植被生产力研究进展

随着全球气候变化的加剧,陆地生态系统中植物光合作用限制影响程度的增加已成为降低全球植被净初级生产力的主要因素。系统了解植物光合作用限制因素是科学评估植被生产力的重要前提,也是缓解植物光合作用限制,增加植物光合碳同化能力的先决条件。对植物光合作用限制因素进行了系统解析,分析了光合作用三种限制因素生化限制(Biochemical limitation,l_b)、气孔限制(Stomatal limitation,l_s)、叶肉限制(Mesophyll limitation,l_m)的环境响应,重点讨论了叶肉限制及其影响机理,述评了光合作用限制定量分析方法及改善措施,最后以提高植被生产力为驱使目标,对未来植物光合作用限制因素研究提出以下内容：(1)基因工程技术与系统生物学数据相结合提高植被生产力;(2)气孔响应速度对植物光合作用的影响机制;(3)水通道蛋白(Aquaporin, AQPs)和碳酸酐酶(Carbonic anhydrase, CAs)感知环境信号变化的驱动基因。以期为未来气候变化背景下,深入认识和降低植物光合作用限制,提...

水杨酸对植物光合作用影响的研究进展

水杨酸作为一种信号分子,对植物呼吸代谢、种子萌发、成花诱导、衰老及抗逆等生理过程都有调节作用,近年来有关水杨酸对植物光合作用影响的研究取得了很大进展。水杨酸能够调节植物叶片气孔运动、光合色素含量、光合机构性能、光合碳同化酶活性等各方面,其效果因浓度、植物种类、环境条件等不同而表现出差异。该文就近年来国内外有关水杨酸对植物光合作用的影响(主要从植物叶片气孔运动、光合色素含量、光合机构性能和光合碳同化酶活性等方面)研究进展进行综述。     

高等植物绿叶中的氮素代谢与光合作用的关系

高等植物绿叶把光合碳素同化和氮素同化集于一体。在绿叶中进行的光合作用光化学过程,不仅能将CO_2同化成碳水化合物,而且参与在叶绿体内进行的亚硝酸还原成氨及氨转化成氨基酸的过程。因此,光合作用光反应、碳素同化与氮素同化之间存在着密切的关系,研究这些过程之间的相互联系,有助于我们调节植物体内碳、氮代谢的平衡。本文试就这方面的研究概况作一综述。     

Composition of photosynthetic products in Lake Biwa, Japan; vertical and seasonal changes and their relation to environmental factors

The seasonal and vertical changes in photosynthetic productswere determined in Lake Biwa, which is the largest lake in Japan,by combined ¹³C and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (¹³C-GC-MS).The temperature dependence of the production rates differedamong organic compounds. The seasonal change in the proteinspecific production rate (SPR) showed a strong temperature dependence,indicating that photoplankton growth rate was primarily governedby water temperature. In August and September, low protein SPRwas, however, observed, probably due to low inorganic nitrogenconcentration. Nitrogen deficiency in the late stagnation periodwas also suggested by high C:N ratios both in paniculate matterand photosynthetic products. The glucose SPR did not show anysignificant correlation with water temperature, irradiance andinorganic nitrogen concentration. Highly variable glucose SPRmight be due to high turnover of glucose, and vertical mixingin the mixed surface layer may be one of the most importantfactors causing variability of glucose SPR.     

在水生与气生状态下石莼光合作用对光照和温度的响应

如何对付由于高潮时的水生状态与低潮时的气生状态高频率循环所导致的不同环境条件,是潮间带海藻的光合作用所面临的独特问题。对采自汕头沿岸的石莼(Ulva lactuca)在水生和气生不同状态下光合作用对光照和温度的响应特性进行了测定,以探讨这种常见的潮间带绿藻在潮汐循环背景下的光合特性。在气生状态下,光饱和净光合速率(Pmax)随气生暴露时间的变化模式可以很好地用三次方程进行描述,而温度影响方程的系数;当水分损失为15％时,石莼的Pmax增加至最大值,然后Pmax随进一步脱水而下降,在水分损失为80％时下降至0。温度对Pmax的影响在水生状态下比在气生状态下更大。气生状态下(充分水化)Pmax在10℃时显著小于水生状态下的值,而在30％时则相反。在10℃时,气生干出时间在6h以内,或在20％时,气生干出时间在2．2h以内,石莼的净碳固定量在气生状态下比在水生状态下要大;而在30％时,在气生状态下的净碳固定量比总是小于在水生状态下的净碳固定量。认为石莼在低潮气生状态下与在高潮水生状态下光合特性及净碳固定存在差异,但这种差异与环境温度及叶状体的水分状态有关。     

CHANGES IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN RESPONSE TO COMBINED IRRADIANCE AND TEMPERATURE STRESS IN CYANOBACTERIAL SURFACE WATERBLOOMS1

Buoyant cyanobacteria, previously mixed throughout the water column, float to the lake surface and form a surface waterbloom when mixing subsides. At the surface, the cells are exposed to full sunlight, and this abrupt change in photon irradiance may induce photoinhibition; at the same time, temperature rises as well. This study investigated the damaging effects of this increase in temperature as well as the ecologically more relevant combination of both an increased temperature and a high photon irradiance. Analysis of surface blooms with oxygen microelectrodes showed that integrated oxygen contents that are dependent on the balance of photosynthetic oxygen evolution and respiratory oxygen uptake decreased when temperature was raised above the lake temperature. Gross rates of photosynthesis were unaffected by temperatures up to of 35°C; hence, a moderate increase in temperature mainly stimulated oxygen uptake. Preincubation of cells of the cyanobacterium Anabaena flos-aquae (Lyngb.) de Brébisson at temperatures up to 35°C did not affect the subsequent measurement of rates of net photosynthesis. Another 5°C rise in temperature severely damaged the photosynthetic apparatus. Failure to restore net rates of photosynthesis was coupled to a strong quenching of the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence, F_v/F_m, that was the result of a rise in F_o. A combination of high temperature and high photon irradiance was more damaging than high temperature alone. In contrast, low photon irradiances offered substantial protection against heat injury of the photosynthetic apparatus. I conclude from this study that because cyanobacteria usually are acclimated to low average irradiance prior to bloom formation, there is a reasonable risk of chronic photoinhibition. The increase in temperature will enhance the photodamage of cells in the top layer of the bloom. Low photon irradiances in subsurface layers will offer protection against heat injury. If the high temperatures extend to the deepest, dark layers of the bloom, damage in those layers is likely to occur.     

根系温度对光核桃幼苗光合机构热稳定性的影响

以光核桃(Prunus mira)幼苗为材料, 通过控制根系温度研究了根系温度变化与叶片脱落酸(ABA)的关系及其对光合机构热稳定性的影响。结果表明: 1)环境高温(37和40 ℃)胁迫下保持根系温度适宜((25±2) ℃)时, 幼苗叶片相对含水量(Relative water content, RWC)下降较少, 但叶片ABA含量低, 超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性低, 过氧化氢(H₂O₂)含量和膜质过氧化水平(丙二醛(Malondialdehyde, MDA)浓度)提高, 最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)下降程度较大; 2)而同等环境高温(37和40 ℃)条件下根系温度逐步升高时, 幼苗叶片RWC降低, 叶片ABA含量增加, SOD、APX、POD、CAT活性高, H₂O₂含量高, MDA生成量低, F_v/F_m降低程度较小。与37 ℃相比, 40 ℃处理条件下各生理指标变化趋势相似, 但差异加大。因此认为: 高温胁迫条件下, 根系温度适宜时RWC高, 但导致光合机构伤害较重; 根系感受高温胁迫能够增加叶片ABA含量, 有助于保护光合机构、提高光合机构的抗热性。     

PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CARBON ALLOCATION IN TIPULARIA DISCOLOR (ORCHIDACEAE), A WINTERGREEN UNDERSTORY HERB

Seasonal patterns of photosynthesis and carbon allocation were determined for Tipularia discolor, a summer-deciduous wintergreen orchid of the southeastern United States, to assess the effects of environmental conditions and leaf age on carbon acquisition and allocation patterns. There was no shift in the optimum temperature for photosynthesis (T_opt) on a seasonal basis and T_opt (≈26 C) was at least 10 C higher than daily maximum air temperature during most of the growing season. Lack of photosynthetic adjustment in Tipularia to seasonal fluctuations in temperature and light suggested that the photosynthetic characteristics of this wintergreen were more similar to those of spring ephemerals than to those of evergreens and summer-active herbs. The decline in photosynthetic capacity during the winter growing season for Tipularia, largely due to leaf age effects, gradually reduced net photosynthetic rates in the field despite more favorable light and temperature conditions. Photosynthesis in the field was primarily limited by environmental conditions in early- and mid-season and by photosynthetic capacity in late-season. A ¹⁴CO₂ labelling experiment demonstrated that patterns of carbon allocation to vegetative structures were affected by the season of photosynthetic carbon fixation, whereas reproductive structures received 21% of the recovered labelled carbon regardless of the period of labelling. Carbon acquired and stored during all periods of the growing season was used to produce new vegetative and reproductive structures.     

水稻品种超氧物歧化酶(SOD)活性与氧抑光合的关系

O_2抑光合程度不同的水稻品种,SOD活性存在差异。在40％O_2下,SOD活性被诱导增加水平高、延续时间长的品种,表现O_2抑光合程度小,反之则O_2抑光合程度大。在自然条件下,强光、高温都是诱导SOD活性变化的因素。选择SOD活性高、O_2抑光合程度小的种质资源可能有利于适应对光合不利的逆境条件。     

PHOTOSYNTHETIC SENSITIVITY TO TEMPERATURE IN POPULATIONS OF TWO C4 BOUTELOUA (POACEAE) SPECIES NATIVE TO DIFFERENT ALTITUDES

The relationships between photosynthesis, flowering, and growth temperatures were examined experimentally in four populations of the C₄ grass genus Bouteloua. Field-collected plants were grown under two temperature regimes, cool (20 C day/6 C night) and warm (30/16), representative of the extreme populations. Populations collected from the warm climates had significantly lower photosynthetic capacity when grown in the cool chamber relative to the warm chamber, while photosynthetic capacity in the cool climate populations did not differ between the growth conditions. Additionally, exposure to a 2-day cold temperature treatment (10/-2), representative of late-season frosts in high altitude sites, resulted in further reductions in photosynthesis in the warm climate plants, but not in the cool climate plants. This effect was greater for plants grown in the cool growth chamber. Flowering was reduced by 70% in the warm climate plants grown in the cool chamber, and was correlated with photosynthetic inhibition following the short-term cold temperature treatment. These results indicate that genetic differentiation for photosynthetic temperature sensitivity has occurred in the cool climate populations, and that long-term exposure to cool temperatures coupled with short-term relatively extreme low temperatures results in greater photosynthetic inhibition in nontolerant populations.     

Microclimate and production of peat moss Sphagnum palustre L. in the warm‐temperate zone

Sphagnum palustre L. is one of the few Sphagnum species distributed in the warm‐temperate zone. To elucidate the mechanisms that enable S. palustre to maintain its productivity under warm climatic conditions, we examined the temperature conditions and photosynthetic characteristics of this species in a lowland wetland in western Japan. Moss temperatures during the daytime were much lower than the air temperature, particularly during summer. The optimum temperature for the net photosynthetic rate was approximately 20°C, irrespective of the season, but summer and autumn samples maintained high rates at higher temperatures as well. The net photosynthetic rate at near light saturation was much higher during summer–autumn than during spring–winter. A model estimation in which net production was calculated from the photosynthetic characteristics and microclimatic data showed that both the low temperature of the moss colony and the seasonal shift in photosynthetic characteristics are among the mechanisms that enable this species to maintain its productivity under warm climatic conditions.
