A new technology of modulated Chl a fluorescence image: In vivo measurement of the PSII maximum photochemical efficiency and its heterogeneity within leaves

The spatial photosynthetic heterogeneity within leaves is an important prerequisite for the studies on the photosynthetic model, the mechanism(s) of photoinhibition and light protection, etc. However, currently the in vivo measurement of the spatial photosynthetic heterogeneity within leaves is difficult. The present study improved the device assembled by Vogelmann & Evans (2002), thereby acquired the photosystem II (PSII) maximum photochemical efficiency (F_v/F_m) images within leaves. Finally, these images were processed and data of F_v/F_m and its spatial variations could be obtained, with the aid of MATLAB software. Based on the innovative technique, an investigation of the effects of strong light on the F_v/F_m and its spatial heterogeneity within leaves has been carried out. It was found that F_v/F_m within leaves was not homogonous. Strong light led to a general decrease of F_v/F_m (PSII photoinhibition) across leaf section, and the palisade tissue close to the epidermis layer had high tolerance to photoinhibition. Compared with control, short-term photoinhibition caused a larger spatial variation of F_v/F_m within leaves, which may be related to the chloroplast-avoidance response induced by high-fluence. On the contrary, long-term light inhibition led to a smaller spatial variation of F_v/F_m within leaves, indicating such mechanism is no longer effective. Compared to other types of chlorophyll fluoremeter, the device in the present study can in vivo obtain the panoramic picture of F_v/F_m within leaves, providing a powerful tool for the studies on the mechanism(s) attributed to the spatial heterogeneity of photosynthetic capacity of leaf, which is critical for the understanding on several hot spots in the research field of photosynthesis.     

光强对三七光合能力及能量分配的影响

通过研究生长于不同环境光强(29.8%、9.6%、5.0%、1.4%和0.2%全日照)下的2年生三七光合作用对光照强度、CO₂浓度、模拟光斑的响应及叶绿素荧光和能量分配特征,研究光照强度对阴生植物三七光合特征及光适应的影响.结果表明: 29.8%全日照(FL)下三七表观量子效率(AQY)、光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)潜在的量子效率(F_v/F_m)、PSⅡ潜在活性(F_v/F_o)较低,最大净光合速率(P_{n max})、最大电子传递速率(J_max)、实际光化学量子效率(F/F_m′)、电子传递速率(ETR)、光化学淬灭系数(q_P)和光能分配到光化学途径的比例(Φ_PSⅡ)较高,但非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)并不是最高.9.6% FL和5.0% FL处理P_{n max}、光补偿点(LCP)、光饱和点(LSP)、暗呼吸速率(R_d)无显著差异,但它们的AQY、羧化效率(CE)、最大羧化速率(V_{c max})、F_v/F_m、F_v/F_o较高,NPQ也相对较高.生长环境光强低于5.0%FL时,P_{n max}、CE、V_{c max}、J_max、ETR、F/F_m′、q_P、NPQ和Φ_PSⅡ均随生长环境光强的降低呈下降趋势,而捕获的光能分配到荧光耗散的比例(Φ_f,D)逐渐增加.在500 μmol·m^-2·s^-1光斑诱导下,生长环境光强大于5.0%FL下的三七Φ_PSⅡ随诱导时间的延长缓慢增加,1.4%FL和0.2%FL下Φ_PSⅡ迅速达到饱和,且Φ_f,D迅速增加.三七在受到长期高光胁迫的环境下,通过适度的PSⅡ光抑制和保持较高光合电子传递速率,从而提高光能的利用来保护光合机构遭受不可修复的氧化伤害;适度的遮荫能够有效保持较高的非光化学热耗散能力;但过度遮荫会使其光合能力明显降低,捕获的光能更多地通过非光化学的途径耗散,且在接受到高光照射时较容易引发光氧化伤害.     

遮阴对闽楠叶绿素含量和光合特性的影响

为探讨闽楠对不同光环境的光合适应机制,以2年生闽楠幼苗为材料,设置3个光照处理(全光照、遮光率50%和遮光率78%),适应6个月后,测定其叶绿素含量、气体交换和叶绿素荧光同步数据,研究不同光环境处理对闽楠叶片叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数和光合特性的影响.结果表明: 3种光照处理下,闽楠叶片叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素(a+b)和类胡萝卜素含量大小次序为78%遮光率>50%遮光率>全光照,但不同光照处理对闽楠叶绿素a/b值没有显著影响.遮阴条件下,闽楠叶片光补偿点(LCP)降低,光饱和点(LSP)和表观量子效率(AQY)升高,说明遮阴条件下闽楠叶片对弱光和强光的利用能力均有所提高;最大净光合速率(P_{n max})、光下暗呼吸速率(R_d)和最大电子传递速率(J_max)均增大.在不同处理间,闽楠叶片净光合速率(P_n)、CO₂气孔导度(g_sc)、胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)和叶肉导度(g_m)均存在显著差异.P_n和g_m的大小顺序为: 78%遮光率>50%遮光率>全光照.78%遮光率处理下g_sc显著大于全光照.50%遮光率条件和78%遮光率条件下C_i均显著小于全光照.78%遮光率条件下PSⅡ实际光量子产量(F_v′/F_m′)、PSⅡ光化学效率(Φ_PSⅡ)和电子传递速率(J)均显著大于50%遮光率条件和全光照.由此可知,在遮阴条件下闽楠可以通过增加叶绿素含量、AQY、J、g_sc和g_m来增大光合能力.

深圳7种园林植物叶绿素荧光特性及其对大气SO2浓度的响应

叶绿素荧光信号能快速灵敏地反映植物生理状态及其与环境的关系,是一种理想光系统探针。测定了深圳市7种园林植物叶片的叶绿素荧光参数和叶绿素含量,并对这些生理参数与大气污染物SO₂的相关性进行了分析。结果表明,7种植物叶片的叶绿素含量具有明显的种间差别,生境的差别远小于种间差别。所测定的7种园林植物的F_v/F_m相差不大,平均为0.78,低于理想条件下的最大值,说明存在一定的生长胁迫。叶绿素荧光的光化学淬灭qP的种间差别不明显。非光化学猝灭系数qN的种类差别较大,白兰Michelia alba和短穗鱼尾葵Caryota mitis具有较高的非光化学淬灭能力,说明这两个种具有一定的光保护能力。7种植物中,白兰的ΦpsⅡ要明显地较低于其它植物。深圳大气污染对城区植物的生理生化特性尚未构成不良影响,在深圳市区的环境中,短穗鱼尾葵、勒杜鹃Bougainvillea spectabilis和阴香Cinnamomum burmanii的叶绿素荧光参数可以作为大气污染物的指示指标;大红花Hibiscus rosa-sinensis、九里香Murraga paniculata、白兰和黄叶假连翘Duranta cv Golden Leaves具有相对较高抗污染物的能力。植物的叶绿素荧光参数也在一定程度上受到叶绿素的影响,阴香、短穗鱼尾葵、大红花和九里香的部分叶绿素荧光参数与植物叶片叶绿素含量呈正相关。     

Green plastids, maximal PSII photochemical efficiency and starch content of inner stem tissues of three Mediterranean woody species during the year

Wood and pith of 1–2-year-old stems of three woody species with different life strategies common in the Mediterranean basin were studied during the year regarding (i) the occurrence of green plastids, (ii) their maximal photosystem II photochemical efficiency (F_v/F_m) and (iii) their starch content. Green plastids were identified from the red chlorophyll auto-fluorescence under epi-fluorescence microscope, F_v/F_m was estimated using imaging-PAM fluorometry and starch content was recorded under bright field microscope after iodine staining. The evergreen sclerophyll Nerium oleander, the summer deciduous Euphorbia acanthothamnos and the winter deciduous species Platanus orientalis were selected for the study.

Epi-fluorescence microscopy revealed that (i) all species possess abundant green plastids in their wood ray and pith cells throughout the year. In the winter deciduous species chlorophyll fluorescence was found to be strong during the leafless period. By contrast, in the evergreen and the summer deciduous species chlorophyll fluorescence was found uniformly bright during the year; (ii) F_v/F_m value variation during the year seems to be species-specific: in the wood of N. oleander it remains unchanged whereas in the pith it is low during spring–summer; in both tissues of E. acanthothamnos F_v/F_m value reaches maximal value during spring and in P. orientalis during autumn; (iii) in N. oleander and E. acanthothamnos starch is accumulated during spring, whereas in P. orientalis starch content is high during winter.

The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation revealed that the stem epidermis of all three species lacks stomata and formation of lenticels is delayed. Provided that gas exchange is therefore minimized and that PSII photochemical efficiency of inner stem tissues is relatively high, it is further supported that green plastids of wood ray and pith cells may help toward the re-fixation of the internally respired CO₂.     

基于叶绿素荧光成像及荧光参数分布特征的叶片光合异质性定量分析

植物叶片光合作用具有高度的空间异质性,叶绿素荧光成像技术为叶片光合异质性的研究提供了便利,但叶片光合异质性的定量分析并没有得到广泛应用。本文利用Imaging PAM叶绿素荧光成像系统,获得中亚热带地区越冬期小叶榕(Ficus microcarpa)阳生叶和阴生叶的叶绿素荧光参数图像,并利用仪器的分析软件对其进行分析,定量比较了阳生叶和阴生叶的光合异质性特征。研究发现：越冬期小叶榕阳生叶的光合异质性和光抑制程度明显高于阴生叶,变异系数可作为光合异质性的定量指标。低温强光导致阳生叶坏死率(P_LN)达4.30%,并有53.30%的区域处于严重光抑制(0v/F_m<0.627),但仍有42.27%的区域仅为轻度光抑制(0.627≤F_v/F_m<0.800)。而低温弱光并未造成阴生叶坏死和严重光抑制。通过对光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)的实际光合效率(Y(Ⅱ))、调节性能量耗散的量子产额(Y(NPQ))和非调节性能量耗散的量子产额(Y(NO))荧光参数异质性的定量分析表明,阳生叶...     

Susceptibility of green leaves and green flower petals of CAM orchid <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dendrobium</Emphasis> cv. Burana Jade to high irradiance under natural tropical conditions

Photosynthetic rates of green leaves (GL) and green flower petals (GFP) of the CAM plant Dendrobium cv. Burana Jade and their sensitivities to different growth irradiances were studied in shade-grown plants over a period of 4 weeks. Maximal photosynthetic O₂ evolution rates and CAM acidities [dawn/dusk fluctuations in titratable acidity] were higher in leaves exposed to intermediate sunlight [a maximal photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 500–600 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹] than in leaves grown under full sunlight (a maximal PPFD of 1 000–1 200 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) and shade (a maximal PPFD of 200–250 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹). However, these two parameters of GFP were highest in plants grown under the shade and lowest in full sun-grown plants. Both GL and GFP of plants exposed to full sunlight had lower predawn F_v/F_m [dark adapted ratio of variable to maximal fluorescence (the maximal photosystem 2 yield without actinic irradiation)] than those of shade-grown plants. When exposed to intermediate sunlight, however, there were no significant changes in predawn F_v/F_m in GL whereas a significant decrease in predawn F_v/F_m was found in GFP of the same plant. GFP exposed to full sunlight exhibited a greater decrease in predawn F_v/F_m compared to those exposed to intermediate sunlight. The patterns of changes in total chlorophyll (Chl) content of GL and GFP were similar to those of F_v/F_m. Although midday F_v/F_m fluctuated with prevailing irradiance, changes of midday F_v/F_m after exposure to different growth irradiances were similar to those of predawn F_v/F_m in both GL and GFP. The decreases in predawn and midday F_v/F_m were much more pronounced in GFP than in GL under full sunlight, indicating greater sensitivity in GFP to high irradiance (HI). In the laboratory, electron transport rate and photochemical and non-photochemical quenching of Chl fluorescence were also determined under different irradiances. All results indicated that GFP are more susceptible to HI than GL. Although the GFP of Dendrobium cv. Burana Jade require a lower amount of radiant energy for photosynthesis and this plant is usually grown in the shade, is not necessarily a shade plant.     

天山雪莲SiSAD基因与拟南芥AtFAB2基因转化 烟草的抗寒性分析

通过转基因烟草(Nicotiana tabacum)验证天山雪莲(Saussurea involucrata) Δ9硬脂酰-ACP脱饱和酶基因SiSAD与拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)中同源基因AtFAB2的抗寒性功能。利用农杆菌介导法将植物表达载体P_SiSAD:AtFAB2和P_SiSAD:SiSAD导入烟草, 然后将2种转基因和野生型烟草分别置于20°C、10°C、5°C、0°C及-2°C下处理2小时, 检测其相对电导率、丙二醛(MDA)含量、叶绿素荧光参数(F_v/F_m)及脂肪酸含量。将-2°C处理2小时后的植株置于25°C培养1周进行生长恢复实验。结果表明, 生长恢复实验中转SiSAD基因烟草的恢复效果显著优于转AtFAB2基因和野生型烟草。在0°C和-2°C处理2小时后, 转SiSAD、AtFAB2基因型和野生型烟草的相对电导率和丙二醛含量呈现显著递增趋势; 转SiSAD、AtFAB2基因型烟草的F_v/F_m显著高于野生型烟草, 其中, 转SiSAD基因烟草的F_v/F_m显著高于转AtFAB2基因烟草。转AtFAB2基因型和野生型烟草的油酸(C18:1)含量随着温度的降低逐渐升高后降低并在0°C时达到最高值; 而转SiSAD基因型烟草C18:1含量持续升高, 并在-2°C时达到最高值, 其含量分别是转AtFAB2基因型和野生型烟草的1.58倍和1.7倍。以上结果表明, 天山雪莲Δ9硬脂酰-ACP脱饱和酶基因SiSAD与拟南芥中同源基因AtFAB2均可以显著增强非低温驯化烟草的抗寒性, 但是SiSAD基因效果显著优于AtFAB2。     

Effects of shading on photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla

Aims The objectives were to investigate the effects of different light intensities on photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, to clarify the physiological responses and photo-protective mechanisms of Hydrangea macrophylla to changes in light regimes in view of the distribution of energy absorbed and photosynthetic characteristics.Methods Three light regimes including natural and shade (shading rate 50% and 75% of natural light) were applied to plants for 60 days. After the treatment, the gas-exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence and photosynthesis-light curves were measured by a portable leaf gas exchange system (LI-6400).Important findings The results showed that the weak light intensity treatment reduced dark respiration rate, light compensation point and light saturation point of plant, but increased apparent quantum yield, suggesting that plants had the physiological strategy to utilize the weakening light by reducing respiration. The net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO₂ concentration, transpiration rate and water use efficiency of plants grown below 50% of natural light showed significant difference compared with natural and shading rate 75% of natural light. There were significant difference between natural and shade treatments in the maximal quantum efficiency of PSII (F_v/F_m), as indicated that it was significantly less at full light than that at 50% of natural light. Initial fluorescence intensity (F_o) of plants was higher at full light than that at 50% of natural light, suggesting that photoinhibition occurred in natural light. The non-photochemical quenching (NQP) decreased with the aggravation of shade stress, indicating that shading decreased the efficiency of photochemical reaction by reducing the fraction of incident light in photochemical energy utilization and decreased thermal dissipation through regulating energy distribution in photosystem II (PSII) in the leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla. In general, the 70% of incident light in photochemical energy utilization was distributed to thermal dissipation, 20% was distributed to non-regulated energy dissipation and 4% was distributed to effective photochemical reaction. In conclusion, responses of plants to increased irradiance are governed by strategy: to utilize a high fraction of incident light in photochemistry and regulate energy dissipation in PSII and weaken the accumulation of excess excitation energy in PSII to protect the photosynthetic apparatus in the leaves of H. macrophylla under saturated radiation.     

乡土风箱果和紫叶风箱果叶片光合特性对土壤干旱的响应

研究叶片光合气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数对土壤干旱的响应,分析濒危的乡土风箱果和引种紫叶风箱果的抗旱能力及其差异.结果表明: 土壤干旱第7天时,紫叶风箱果叶片明显失水萎蔫,而乡土风箱果却有较高的叶片含水率和水分利用效率.土壤干旱降低了2种风箱果叶片的净光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率,紫叶风箱果降低幅度明显大于乡土风箱果.土壤干旱7 d时,紫叶风箱果叶片的胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)高于未干旱处理,而乡土风箱果C_i低于未干旱处理.乡土风箱果叶片的电子传递速率(ETR)和光化学淬灭系数(q_P)明显降低,而PSⅡ反应中心光能捕获效率(F_v′/F_m′)没有发生明显变化;但是紫叶风箱果叶片的F_v′/F_m′、ETR和q_P均明显降低,并且其降低幅度大于乡土风箱果.土壤干旱7 d时,乡土风箱果叶片OJIP曲线上J点的相对可变荧光(V_J)没有发生明显变化,而紫叶风箱果叶片V_J明显增加.紫叶风箱果的叶片碳同化能力和PSⅡ功能对土壤干旱的敏感性明显大于乡土风箱果,土壤干旱降低乡土风箱果光合能力的原因以气孔因素限制为主,而紫叶风箱果以非气孔因素限制为主.     

环境强光诱导玉簪叶片光抑制的机制

为进一步阐述光抑制的强光诱导和发生机制, 该文以喜阴植物玉簪(Hosta spp.)为材料研究其光抑制发生规律及其与环境光强的关系。结果表明, 全日照和遮阴条件下玉簪叶片发育分别形成适应强光和弱光的形态特征; 与遮阴处理相比, 强光下生长的玉簪光合速率和叶绿素含量较低, 但两种处理叶片最大光化学效率差异很小, 证明强光下植株可以正常生长且光合机构未发生严重的光抑制。将遮阴处生长的植株转移到全日照下, 光合速率和最大光化学效率急剧下降; 荧光诱导动力学曲线发生明显改变, 而且光系统II供体侧和受体侧荧光产量的变化幅度分别达到24.3%和34.2%, 表明玉簪由弱光转入强光后光系统II发生不可逆失活, 且受体侧受到的伤害较供体侧更严重。因此, 作者认为环境光强骤然提高并超过玉簪生长光强时很容易诱导其光合机构发生严重的光抑制。该研究对于理解植物适应光环境的策略以及喜阴植物的优质栽培有重要意义。     

玉米花生间作和磷肥对间作花生光合特性及产量的影响

根区缓冲降温处理对葡萄叶片冻害的影响

为探索根区降温条件对葡萄(Vitis vinifera)叶片冻害的影响,以1年生美乐葡萄(V.vinifera cv.‘Merlot’)幼苗为试材,设置根区正常降温和缓冲降温2种降温条件,人工模拟霜冻,分析了叶片冻害指数和叶片的荧光参数。结果表明,根区正常降温会导致根系受冻,同时叶片发生严重的冻害,冻害指数达74.36%;根区缓冲降温使根区温度保持在0°C以上,叶片冻害指数降低53.29%,仅有21.07%的叶片遭受了冻害。根区缓冲降温处理能有效提高叶片霜冻恢复过程中光化学淬灭系数(qP)和天线色素转化效率(F_v~'/F_m~'),加快PSII光合电子传递量子效率(Φ_(PSII))的恢复,提高热耗散能力(NPQ),减轻霜冻后的光抑制(F_v/F_m),有利于叶片霜冻后的恢复。

Photosynthetic responses of seven tropical seagrasses to elevated seawater temperature

This study uses chlorophyll a fluorescence to examine the effect of environmentally relevant (1–4 h) exposures of thermal stress (35–45 °C) on seagrass photosynthetic yield in seven tropical species of seagrasses. Acute response of each tropical seagrass species to thermal stress was characterised, and the capacity of each species to tolerate and recover from thermal stress was assessed. Two fundamental characteristics of heat stress were observed. The first effect was a decrease in photosynthetic yield (F_v / F_m) characterised by reductions in F and F_m′. The dramatic decline in F_v / F_m ratio, due to chronic inhibition of photosynthesis, indicates an intolerance of Halophila ovalis, Zostera capricorni and Syringodium isoetifolium to ecologically relevant exposures of thermal stress and structural alterations to the PhotoSystem II (PSII) reaction centres. The decline in F_m′ represents heat-induced photoinhibition related to closure of PSII reaction centres and chloroplast dysfunction. The key finding was that Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata, Halodule uninervis and Thalassia hemprichii were more tolerant to thermal stress than H. ovalis, Z. capricorni and S. isoetifolium. After 3 days of 4 h temperature treatments ranging from 25 to 40 °C, C. rotundata, C. serrulata and H. uninervis demonstrated a wide tolerance to temperature with no detrimental effect on F_v / F_m′ qN or qP responses. These three species are restricted to subtropical and tropical waters and their tolerance to seawater temperatures up to 40 °C is likely to be an adaptive response to high temperatures commonly occurring at low tides and peak solar irradiance. The results of temperature experiments suggest that the photosynthetic condition of all seagrass species tested are likely to suffer irreparable effects from short-term or episodic changes in seawater temperatures as high as 40–45 °C. Acute stress responses of seagrasses to elevated seawater temperatures are consistent with observed reductions in above-ground biomass during a recent El Niño event.     

减氮运筹对甘薯光合作用和叶绿素荧光特性的影响

光合性能是决定作物产量形成的关键,氮肥的合理施用是调控作物光合特性和产量形成的重要措施.于2016—2017年开展盆栽试验,研究了减氮和施肥方式对甘薯叶片光合作用和叶绿素荧光特性的影响.试验以常规习惯基施氮肥100 kg·hm^-2为对照(FP),在常规施氮量的基础上减氮20%,同时设置3种氮肥运筹方式:100%基施(JS)、100%移栽后35 d追施(KS)、50%基施+50%移栽后35 d追施(FS).结果表明:与常规基施氮肥100 kg·hm^-2相比,减氮条件下氮肥全部基施显著降低了全生育期甘薯光合性能,但追施处理显著提高了块根膨大期净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(g_s)、胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)和叶绿素(Chl a+b)含量.不同处理下,P_n、g_s、C_i和Chl a+b均以50%基施+50%追施处理最高.减氮分施处理甘薯块根膨大期的PSⅡ实际光化学效率(Φ_PSⅡ)、光化学淬灭系数(q_P)、PSⅡ最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)和PSⅡ潜在活性(F_v/F_o) 提高,而初始荧光(F_o)和非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)则降低.氮肥分施通过提高PSⅡ的光化学效率和电子传递速率,降低光能的热耗散,提高了甘薯块根膨大期功能叶的光合速率.2个品种不同年际间表现相同.表明氮肥一次性基施或追施均不利于提高甘薯叶片光合性能.减氮20%水平下,50%基施+50%追施可减缓叶片早衰,延长叶片功能期,提高甘薯的光合生产能力和生物量,有利于产量形成.     

控墒补灌对新疆春玉米产量和穗叶光合特性的影响

为探讨北疆绿洲区滴灌春玉米的高产栽培水分管理模式,以‘郑单958’(ZD958)和‘垦玉2号’(KY02)为试验材料,研究了控墒补灌对滴灌春玉米大喇叭口期(V12)至蜡熟期(R5)叶片SPAD值以及灌浆期(R3)穗叶色素、光合和荧光等参数的影响.结果表明: 土壤墒度过低或过高均会显著(P<0.05)降低V12-R3期叶片SPAD值,R5期宜保持在田间持水量的65%以上.灌浆期土壤墒度<75%时玉米叶绿素a、b及叶绿素总含量、类胡萝卜素、叶绿素a/b显著下降,但土壤墒度>85%时差异并不显著;土壤墒度<75%时玉米净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)及气孔导度(g_s)显著下降,胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)显著上升,但土壤墒度>85%时并未观察到g_s的降低.土壤墒度过高或过低均可显著降低最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、潜在活性(F_v/F_o)、PSⅡ实际光化学效率(Φ_PSⅡ)、光化学淬灭(q_P)和光合电子传递速率(rETR)等荧光参数,热耗散量子比率(F_o/F_m)、非光化学淬灭(NPQ)显著升高;通径分析发现,P_n降低主要由F_v/F_o和rETR的下降导致,最终表现为产量的降低.这表明各生育时期土壤墒度保持在V6>60%、V12 >70%、R1 >75%、R3 >80%、R5 >65%是本地区滴灌春玉米获得高产的最佳水分管理模式.     

滨海滩涂地带乌哺鸡竹和淡竹离子含量变化及其与生长及光合作用的关系

在沿海滩涂防护林带低盐区(0.1%)、中盐区(0.2%)和重盐区(0.4%) 3个盐分梯度下,研究了栽植10年的乌哺鸡竹和淡竹Na⁺、K⁺、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺含量变化及其与生长和光合作用的相关关系.结果表明: 从低盐区到重盐区,乌哺鸡竹的立竹密度和地径分别下降30.4%和28.8%,降幅低于淡竹的44.1%和31.2%;两竹种单株生物量下降,地上器官生物量降幅均显著高于地下器官;乌哺鸡竹和淡竹净光合速率(P_n)和PSⅡ最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)分别下降57.6%和67.7%、6.1%和7.4%,乌哺鸡竹耐盐能力比淡竹强.随着土壤含盐量的增大,乌哺鸡竹和淡竹各器官Na⁺含量逐渐增加,K⁺、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺含量逐渐降低.两竹种根Na⁺积累较多,而地上部分K⁺含量较高.盐胁迫环境导致乌哺鸡竹根Ca²⁺含量与淡竹叶片Mg²⁺含量明显下降.两竹种的生物量、P_n、F_v/F_m与Na⁺含量呈显著负相关,与K⁺、Ca²⁺含量呈显著正相关.
