Kiwi fruit displays chlorophyll fluorescence. A physical model was developed to reproduce the observed original fluorescence for the whole fruit, from the emission of the different parts of the kiwi fruit. The spectral distribution of fluorescence in each part of the fruit, was corrected to eliminate distortions due to light re-absorption and it was analyzed in relation to photosystem II-photosystem I ratio. Kiwi fruit also displays variable chlorophyll-fluorescence, similar to that observed from leaves. The maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry (F(v)/F(m)), the quantum efficiency of photosystem II (Φ(PSII)), and the photochemical and non-photochemical quenching coefficients (q(P) and q(NP) respectively) were determined and discussed in terms of the model developed. The study was extended by determining the photosynthetic parameters as a function of the storage time, at both 4 °C and room temperature for 25 days. 相似文献

Thermal resistance of the coral-zooxanthellae symbiosis has been associated with chronic photoinhibition, increased antioxidant activity and protein repair involving high demands of nitrogen and energy. While the relative importance of heterotrophy as a source of nutrients and energy for cnidarian hosts, and as a means of nitrogen acquisition for their zooxanthellae, is well documented, the effect of feeding on the thermal sensitivity of the symbiotic association has been so far overlooked. Here we examine the effect of zooplankton feeding versus starvation on the bleaching susceptibility and photosynthetic activity of photosystem II (PSII) of zooxanthellae in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata in response to thermal stress (daily temperature rises of 2-3 degrees C) over 10 days, employing pulse-amplitude-modulated chlorophyll fluorometry. Fed and starved corals displayed a decrease in daily maximum potential quantum yield (F (v)/F (m)) of PSII, effective quantum yield (F/F (m)') and relative electron transport rates over the course of 10 days. However after 10 days of exposure to elevated temperature, F (v)/F (m) of fed corals was still 50-70% higher than F (v)/F (m) of starved corals. Starved corals showed strong signs of chronic photoinhibition, which was reflected in a significant decline in nocturnal recovery rates of PSII relative to fed corals. This was paralleled by the progressive inability to dissipate excess excitation energy via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). After 10 days, NPQ of starved corals had decreased by about 80% relative to fed corals. Feeding treatment had no significant effect on chlorophyll a and c (2) concentrations and zooxanthellae densities, but the mitotic indices were significantly lower in starved than in fed corals. Collectively the results indicate that exogenous food may reduce the photophysiological damage of zooxanthellae that typically leads to bleaching and could therefore play an important role in mediating the thermal resistance of some corals. 相似文献

The pool size of the xanthophyll cycle pigment diadinoxanthin (DD) in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum depends on illumination conditions during culture. Intermittent light caused a doubling of the DD pool without significant change in other pigment contents and photosynthetic parameters, including the photosystem II (PSII) antenna size. On exposure to high-light intensity, extensive de-epoxidation of DD to diatoxanthin (DT) rapidly caused a very strong quenching of the maximum chlorophyll fluorescence yield (F(m), PSII reaction centers closed), which was fully reversed in the dark. The non-photochemical quenching of the minimum fluorescence yield (F(o), PSII centers open) decreased the quantum efficiency of PSII proportionally. For both F(m) and F(o), the non-photochemical quenching expressed as F/F' - 1 (with F' the quenched level) was proportional to the DT concentration. However, the quenching of F(o) relative to that of F(m) was much stronger than random quenching in a homogeneous antenna could explain, showing that the rate of photochemical excitation trapping was limited by energy transfer to the reaction center rather than by charge separation. The cells can increase not only the amount of DT they can produce, but also its efficiency in competing with the PSII reaction center for excitation. The combined effect allowed intermittent light grown cells to down-regulate PSII by 90% and virtually eliminated photoinhibition by saturating light. The unusually rapid and effective photoprotection by the xanthophyll cycle in diatoms may help to explain their dominance in turbulent waters. 相似文献

Exposure of control (non-hardened) Arabidopsis leaves for 2 h at high irradiance at 5 degrees C resulted in a 55% decrease in photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency as indicated by F(v)/F(m). In contrast, cold-acclimated leaves exposed to the same conditions showed only a 22% decrease in F(v)/F(m). Thermoluminescence was used to assess the possible role(s) of PSII recombination events in this differential resistance to photoinhibition. Thermoluminescence measurements of PSII revealed that S(2)Q(A)(-) recombination was shifted to higher temperatures, whereas the characteristic temperature of the S(2)Q(B)(-) recombination was shifted to lower temperatures in cold-acclimated plants. These shifts in recombination temperatures indicate higher activation energy for the S(2)Q(A)(-) redox pair and lower activation energy for the S(2)Q(B)(-) redox pair. This results in an increase in the free-energy gap between P680(+)Q(A)(-) and P680(+)Pheo(-) and a narrowing of the free energy gap between primary and secondary electron-accepting quinones in PSII electron acceptors. We propose that these effects result in an increased population of reduced primary electron-accepting quinone in PSII, facilitating non-radiative P680(+)Q(A)(-) radical pair recombination. Enhanced reaction center quenching was confirmed using in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence-quenching analysis. The enhanced dissipation of excess light energy within the reaction center of PSII, in part, accounts for the observed increase in resistance to high-light stress in cold-acclimated Arabidopsis plants. 相似文献

Treatment with the herbicide acifluorfen-sodium (AF-Na), an inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen oxidase, caused an accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (Proto IX) , light-induced necrotic spots on the cucumber cotyledon within 12-24 h, and photobleaching after 48-72 h of light exposure. Proto IX-sensitized and singlet oxygen ((1)O(2))-mediated oxidative stress caused by AF-Na treatment impaired photosystem I (PSI), photosystem II (PSII) and whole chain electron transport reactions. As compared to controls, the F(v)/F(m) (variable to maximal chlorophyll a fluorescence) ratio of treated samples was reduced. The PSII electron donor NH(2)OH failed to restore the F(v)/F(m) ratio suggesting that the reduction of F(v)/F(m) reflects the loss of reaction center functions. This explanation is further supported by the practically near-similar loss of PSI and PSII activities. As revealed from the light saturation curve (rate of oxygen evolution as a function of light intensity), the reduction of PSII activity was both due to the reduction in the quantum yield at limiting light intensities and impairment of light-saturated electron transport. In treated cotyledons both the Q (due to recombination of Q(A)(-) with S(2)) and B (due to recombination of Q(B)(-) with S(2)/S(3)) band of thermoluminescence decreased by 50% suggesting a loss of active PSII reaction centers. In both the control and treated samples, the thermoluminescence yield of B band exhibited a periodicity of 4 suggesting normal functioning of the S states in centers that were still active. The low temperature (77 K) fluorescence emission spectra revealed that the F(695) band (that originates in CP-47) increased probably due to reduced energy transfer from the CP47 to the reaction center. These demonstrated an overall damage to the PSI and PSII reaction centers by (1)O(2) produced in response to photosensitization reaction of protoporphyrin IX in AF-Na-treated cucumber seedlings. 相似文献

Using chlorophyll (chl) fluorescence imaging, we studied the effect of mild (MiDS), moderate (MoDS) and severe (SDS) drought stress on photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry of 4-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana. Spatio-temporal heterogeneity in all chl fluorescence parameters was maintained throughout water stress. After exposure to drought stress, maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (F(v)/F(m)) and quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Φ(PSΙΙ)) decreased less in the proximal (base) than in the distal (tip) leaf. The chl fluorescence parameter F(v) /F(m) decreased less after MoDS than MiDS. Under MoDS, the antioxidant mechanism of A. thaliana leaves seemed to be sufficient in scavenging reactive oxygen species, as evident by the decreased lipid peroxidation, the more excitation energy dissipated by non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and decreased excitation pressure (1-q(p)). Arabidopsis leaves appear to function normally under MoDS, but do not seem to have particular metabolic tolerance mechanisms under MiDS and SDS, as revealed by the level of lipid peroxidation and decreased quantum yield for dissipation after down-regulation in PSII (Φ(NPQ)), indicating that energy dissipation by down-regulation did not function and electron transport (ETR) was depressed. The simultaneous increased quantum yield of non-regulated energy dissipation (Φ(NO)) indicated that both the photochemical energy conversion and protective regulatory mechanism were insufficient. The non-uniform photosynthetic pattern under drought stress may reflect different zones of leaf anatomy and mesophyll development. The data demonstrate that the effect of different degrees of drought stress on A. thaliana leaves show spatio-temporal heterogeneity, implying that common single time point or single point leaf analyses are inadequate. 相似文献

Response of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to photooxidative stress resulting from high light exposure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The response of microalgae to photooxidative stress resulting from high light exposure is a well-studied phenomenon. However, direct analyses of photosystem II (PSII) D1 protein (the main target of photoinhibition) in diatoms are scarce. In this study, the response of the diatom model species Phaeodactylum tricornutum to short-term exposure to high light was examined and the levels of D1 protein determined immunochemically. Low light (LL) acclimated cells (40 μmol photons m(-2) s(-1)) subjected to high light (HL, 1,250 μmol photons m(-2) s(-1)) showed rapid induction of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and ca. 20-fold increase in diatoxanthin (DT) concentration. This resulted from the conversion of diadinoxanthin (DD) to DT through the activation of the DD-cycle. D1 protein levels under LL decreased about 30% after 1 h of the addition of lincomycin (LINC), a chloroplast protein synthesis inhibitor, showing significant D1 degradation and repair under low irradiance. Exposure to HL lead to a 3.2-fold increase in D1 degradation rate, whereas average D1 repair rate was 1.3-x higher under HL than LL, leading to decreased levels of D1 protein under HL. There were significant effects of both HL and LINC on P. tricornutum maximum quantum yield of PSII (F(v)/F(m)), showing a reduction of active PSII reaction centres. Partial recovery of F(v)/F(m) in the dark demonstrates the photosynthetic resilience of this diatom to changes in the light regime. P. tricornutum showed high allocation of total protein to D1 and an active D1-repair cycle to limit photoinhibition. 相似文献

The mechanisms of photosynthetic adaptation to different combinations of temperature and irradiance during growth, and especially the consequences of exposure to high light (2000 micro mol m(-2) s(-1) PPFD) for 5 min, simulating natural sunflecks, was studied in bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A protocol using only short (3 min) dark pre-treatment was introduced to maximize the amount of replication possible in studies of chlorophyll fluorescence. High light at low temperature (10 degrees C) significantly down-regulated photosynthetic electron transport capacity [as measured by the efficiency of photosystem II (PSII)], with the protective acclimation allowing the simulated sunflecks to be used more effectively for photosynthesis by plants grown in low light. The greater energy dissipation by thermal processes (lower F(v)'/F(m)' ratio) at low temperature was related to increased xanthophyll de-epoxidation and to the fact that photosynthetic carbon fixation was more limiting at low than at high temperatures. A key objective was to investigate the role of photorespiration in acclimation to irradiance and temperature by comparing the effect of normal (21 kPa) and low (1.5 kPa) O(2) concentrations. Low [O(2)] decreased F(v)/F(m) and the efficiency of PSII (Phi(PSII)), related to greater PSII down-regulation in cold pre-treated plants, but minimized further inhibition by the mild 'sunfleck' treatment used. Results support the hypothesis that photorespiration provides a 'safety-valve' for excess energy. 相似文献

Unicellular algae of genus Trebouxia are the most frequent symbiotic photobionts found in lichen species adapted to extreme environments. When lichenised, they cope well with freezing temperature of polar regions, high-mountains environments and were successfully tested in open-space experiments. Trebouxia sp. is considered potential model species for exobiological experiments. The aim of this paper is to evaluate cryoresistence of Trebouxia sp. when isolated from lichen thalli and cultivated on media. In our study, six algal strains were exposed to repeated freezing/thawing cycles. The strains of Trebouxia sp. (freshly isolated from lichen Lasallia pustulata), Trebouxia erici, Trebouxia asymmetrica, Trebouxia glomerata, Trebouxia irregularis, and Trebouxia jamesii from culture collection were cooled from 25 to -40 °C at two different rates. The strains were also shock frozen in liquid nitrogen. After repeated treatment, the strains were inoculated and cultivated on a BBM agar for 7 days. Then, cell viability was assessed as relative share of living cells. Potential quantum yield of photochemical reactions in PS II (F(V)/F(M)), and effective quantum yield of photochemical reactions in PS II (Φ(PSII)) were measured. While the slow cooling rate (0.5 °C min(-1)) did not cause any change in viability, F(V)/F(M), and Φ(PSII), the fast cooling rate (6.0 °C min(-1)) caused species-specific decrease in all parameters. The most pronounced interspecific differences in cryoresistance were found after shock freezing and consequent cultivation. While T. asymmetrica and T. jamesii exhibited low viability of living cells (18.9% and 34.7%) and full suppression of photosynthetic processes, the other strains had viability over 60%, and unaffected values of F(V)/F(M), and Φ(PSII). This indicated a high degree of cryoresistance of T. glomerata, T. erici, T. irregularis and Trebouxia sp. strains. These strains could be used for detailed investigation of underlying physiological mechanisms and as models for astrobiological tests taken in the Earth facilities. 相似文献

The functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) grown during the onset of water limitation was studied by gas-exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence to better understand the adaptation mechanisms of the photosynthetic apparatus to drought conditions. For this, cotton was grown in the field in Central Asia under well-irrigated and moderately drought-stressed conditions. The light and CO(2) responses of photosynthesis (A(G)), stomatal conductance (g(s)) and various chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were determined simultaneously. Furthermore, chlorophyll fluorescence images were taken from leaves to study the spatial pattern of photosystem II (PSII) efficiency and non-photochemical quenching parameters. Under low and moderate light intensity, the onset of drought stress caused an increase in the operating quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (varphi(PSII)) which indicated increased photorespiration since photosynthesis was hardly affected by water limitation. The increase in varphi(PSII) was caused by an increase of the efficiency of open PSII reaction centers (F(v)'/F(m)') and by a decrease of the basal non-photochemical quenching (varphi(NO)). Using a chlorophyll fluorescence imaging system a low spatial heterogeneity of varphi(PSII) was revealed under both irrigation treatments. The increased rate of photorespiration in plants during the onset of drought stress can be seen as an acclimation process to avoid an over-excitation of PSII under more severe drought conditions. 相似文献

Repair machinery of symbiotic photosynthesis as the primary target of heat stress for reef-building corals 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

In a coral-algae symbiotic system, heat-dependent photoinhibition of photosystem II (PSII) leads to coral bleaching. When the reef-building coral Acropora digitifera was exposed to light, a moderate increase of temperature induced coral bleaching through photobleaching of algal pigments, but not through expulsion of symbiotic algae. Monitoring of PSII photoinhibition revealed that heat-dependent photoinhibition was ascribed to inhibition of the repair of photodamaged PSII, and heat susceptibility of the repair machinery varied among coral species. We conclude that the efficiency of the photosynthesis repair machinery determines the bleaching susceptibility of coral species under elevated seawater temperatures. 相似文献

Reduction of dark chilling stress in N-fixing soybean by nitrate as indicated by chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Sub-optimal night temperatures below 15 degrees C (dark chilling) frequently reduce soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] production. Nitrate application is known to alleviate some of the negative effects of low root zone temperatures, probably by counteracting the inhibition caused by decreased symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). Under field conditions, however, dark chilling is frequently not accompanied by low root zone temperatures. The possibility that nitrate might increase dark-chilling tolerance under these conditions is still largely unexplored. In addition to quantifying vegetative development by means of the plastochron index, O-J-I-P (O-I(1)-I(2)-P) chlorophyll a fluorescence transients were recorded in soybean genotypes of contrasting chilling tolerance during and following exposure to dark chilling in the absence of low root zone temperatures. Plants, inoculated with the N(2)-fixing bacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, were grown with and without nitrate supplementation. The recorded O-J-I-P chlorophyll a fluorescence transients were analysed by the so-called JIP-test which translates stress-induced alterations in these transients to changes in biophysical parameters that quantifies the energy flow through photosystem II (PSII). One of these parameters, the performance index (PI(ABS)), combines the three main functional steps (light energy absorption, excitation energy trapping, and conversion of excitation energy to electron transport) of photosynthetic activity by a PSII reaction centre complex into a single multiparametric expression. By using the PI(ABS) we could convincingly show that nitrate supplementation considerably enhances dark-chilling tolerance and recovery capacity of plants in the absence of low root zone temperatures. This was especially true for the chilling-sensitive genotype ('Java 29'), suggesting that the response of SNF to dark chilling might be an important factor contributing towards genotypic differences in chilling tolerance. Our results corroborated previous reports about the superior chilling tolerance of 'Maple Arrow', a chilling-tolerant genotype. The results obtained indicated that the PI(ABS) is a far more sensitive indicator of dark-chilling stress than the maximum quantum yield of primary photochemistry (F(V)/F(M)). 相似文献

The role of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH)-dependent cyclic electron flow around photosystem I in photosynthetic regulation and plant growth at several temperatures was examined in rice (Oryza sativa) that is defective in CHLORORESPIRATORY REDUCTION 6 (CRR6), which is required for accumulation of sub-complex A of the chloroplast NDH complex (crr6). NdhK was not detected by Western blot analysis in crr6 mutants, resulting in lack of a transient post-illumination increase in chlorophyll fluorescence, and confirming that crr6 mutants lack NDH activity. When plants were grown at 28 or 35°C, all examined photosynthetic parameters, including the CO(2) assimilation rate and the electron transport rate around photosystems I and II, at each growth temperature at light intensities above growth light (i.e. 800 μmol photons m(-2) sec(-1)), were similar between crr6 mutants and control plants. However, when plants were grown at 20°C, all the examined photosynthetic parameters were significantly lower in crr6 mutants than control plants, and this effect on photosynthesis caused a corresponding reduction in plant biomass. The F(v)/F(m) ratio was only slightly lower in crr6 mutants than in control plants after short-term strong light treatment at 20°C. However, after long-term acclimation to the low temperature, impairment of cyclic electron flow suppressed non-photochemical quenching and promoted reduction of the plastoquinone pool in crr6 mutants. Taken together, our experiments show that NDH-dependent cyclic electron flow plays a significant physiological role in rice during photosynthesis and plant growth at low temperature. 相似文献

The photosynthetic activity of two Syrian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces, Arabi Abiad (A. Abiad) and Arabi Aswad (A. Aswad), grown under low- and high- temperature stresses, were studied by analyzing the measured chlorophyll fluorescence signals. Both the applied stresses influenced photosystem II (PSII) activity. However, the effects depend on the stress type and the duration of its application. Phenomenological parameters were shifted shortly after the application of both stresses, whereas fluorescence ratios and yield values were altered most significantly after 7 days of stress imposition. The earliest changes in PSII activity of both cultivars were observed in the case of high temperature treatment. The maximal quantum efficiency of the photosynthetic apparatus (F(v)/F(M)) did not alter after stress application. Therefore, we could not recommend this parameter for early detection of such stress. In contrast, the results from the present investigation strongly indicate that the most significantly changed chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters could be used as an efficient tool for the early diagnosis of temperature stress in barley. 相似文献

Temperature dependencies of stem dark respiration (R(d)) and light-driven bark photosynthesis (A(max)) of two temperate tree species (Fagus sylvatica and Betula pendula) were investigated to estimate their probable influence on stem carbon balance. Stem R(d) was found to increase exponentially with increasing temperatures, whereas A(max) levelled off or decreased at the highest temperatures chosen (35-40 degrees C). Accordingly, a linear relationship between respiratory and assimilatory metabolism was only found at moderate temperatures (10-30 degrees C) and the relationship between stem R(d) and A(max) clearly departed from linearity at chilling (5 degrees C) and at high temperatures (35-40 degrees C). As a result, the proportional internal C-refixation rate also decreased non-linearly with increasing temperature. Temperature response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry was also assessed. Bark photochemical yield (Delta F/F(m)') followed the same temperature pattern as bark CO(2) assimilation. Maximum quantum yield of PSII (F(v)/F(m)) decreased drastically at freezing temperatures (-5 degrees C), while from 30 to 40 degrees C only a marginal decrease in F(v)/F(m) was found. In in situ measurements during winter months, bark photosynthesis was found to be strongly reduced. Low temperature stress induced an active down-regulation of PSII efficiency as well as damage to PSII due to photoinhibition. All in all, the benefit of bark photosynthesis was negatively affected by low (<5 degrees C) as well as high temperatures (>30 degrees C). As the carbon balance of tree stems is defined by the difference between photosynthetic carbon gain and respiratory carbon loss, this might have important implications for accurate modelling of stem carbon balance. 相似文献

Photosynthetic gas exchange, modulated chlorophyll fluorescence, rapid fluorescence induction kinetics, and the polyphasic fluorescence transients were used to evaluate PSII photochemistry in the halophyte Suaeda salsa exposed to a combination of high salinity (100-400 mM NaCl) and heat stress (35-47.5 degrees C, air temperature). CO(2) assimilation rate increased slightly with increasing salt concentration up to 300 mM NaCl and showed no decrease even at 400 mM NaCl. Salinity treatment showed neither effects on the maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry (F(v)/F(m)), the rapid fluorescence induction kinetics, and the polyphasic fluorescence transients in dark-adapted leaves, nor effects on the efficiency of excitation energy capture by open PSII reaction centres (F(v)'/F(m)') and the actual PSII effciency (Phi(PSII)), photochemical quenching (q(P)), and non-photochemical quenching (q(N)) in light-adapted leaves. The results indicate that high salinity had no effects on PSII photochemistry either in a dark-adapted state or in a light-adapted state. With increasing temperature, CO(2) assimilation rate decreased significantly and no net CO(2) assimilation was observed at 47.5 degrees C. Salinity treatment had no effect on the response of CO(2) assimilation to high temperature when temperature was below 40 degrees C. At 45 degrees C, CO(2) assimilation rate in control plants decreased to zero, but the salt-adapted plants still maintained some CO(2) assimilation capacity. On the other hand, the responses of PSII photochemistry to heat stress was modified by salinity treatment. When temperature was above 35 degrees C, the declines in F(v)/F(m), Phi(PSII), F(v)'/F(m)', and q(P) were smaller in salt-adapted leaves compared to control leaves. This increased thermostability was independent of the degree of salinity, since no significant changes in the above-described fluorescence parameters were observed among the plants treated with different concentrations of NaCl. During heat stress, a very clear K step as a specific indicator of damage to the O(2)-evolving complex in the polyphasic fluorescence transients appeared in control plants, but did not get pronounced in salt-adapted plants. In addition, a greater increase in the ratio (F(i)-F(o))/(F(p)-F(o)) which is an expression of the proportion of the Q(B)-non-reducing PSII centres was observed in control plants rather than in salt-adapted plants. The results suggest that the increased thermostability of PSII seems to be associated with the increased resistance of the O(2)-evolving complex and the reaction centres of PSII to high temperature. 相似文献

We assessed the contribution of leaf movements to PSII photoprotection against high light and temperature in Robinia pseudoacacia. Gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements were performed during the day at 10:00, 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00 hours on leaves where paraheliotropic movements were restrained (restrained leaves, RL) and on control unrestrained leaves (UL). RL showed a strong decrease of net photosynthesis (A(n)), stomatal conductance (g(sH2O)), quantum yield of electron transport (PhiPSII), percentage of photosynthesis inhibited by O2 (IPO) and photochemical quenching (q(P)) in the course of the day, whereas, a significant increase in C(i)/C(a) and NPQ was observed. Contrary to RL, UL had higher photosynthetic performance that was maintained at elevated levels throughout the day. In the late afternoon, A(n), g(sH2O), PhiPSII and q(P) of RL showed a tendency to recovery, as compared to 15:00 hours, even if the values remained lower than those measured at 10:00 hours and in UL. In addition, contrary to UL, no recovery was found in F(v)/F(m) at the end of the study period in RL. Data presented suggest that in R. pseudoacacia, leaf movements, by reducing light interception, represent an efficient, fast and reversible strategy to overcome environmental stresses such as high light and temperature. Moreover, paraheliotropism was able to protect photosystems, avoiding photoinhibitory damage, leading to a carbon gain for the plant. 相似文献
