茉莉酸甲酯对干旱及复水条件下烤烟幼苗叶绿素荧光特性的影响

以烤烟品种“龙江911”为试验材料,研究了干旱及复水过程中外源茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)对移栽后烤烟幼苗叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光特性的影响.结果表明： 干旱下烤烟幼苗叶绿素含量、PSⅡ反应中心完全关闭时荧光产量(F_m)、PSⅡ潜在活性(F_v/F_o)、最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、实际光化学效率(Ф_PSⅡ)、表观电子传递速率(ETR)和光化学猝灭系数(q_P)下降,而初始荧光(F_o)和非光化学猝灭系数(q_N)升高,0.2和0.5 mmol·L^-1的外源MeJA明显减缓了干旱下烤烟幼苗F_v/F_m、F_v/F_o、Ф_PSⅡ、ETR、q_P的下降和q_N的上升,而1.0 mmol·L^-1 MeJA效果不明显.复水后,烤烟幼苗各项叶绿素荧光指标均有明显恢复,并且MeJA处理后的幼苗恢复更明显.表明外源MeJA减轻了干旱胁迫下烤烟叶片叶绿素的分解,对PSII反应中心起到一定的保护作用,提高了电子传递速率,降低了干旱胁迫对烤烟幼苗的伤害,并且复水后叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数能迅速恢复,从而保证了经干旱胁迫后烤烟幼苗能迅速缓苗.     

大气CO2浓度升高对绿豆叶片光合作用及叶绿素荧光参数的影响

利用FACE系统在大田条件下通过盆栽试验研究了大气CO₂浓度升高\[CO₂浓度平均为（550±60) μmol·mol^-1\]对绿豆叶片光合生理和叶绿素荧光参数的影响.结果表明： 与对照\[CO₂浓度平均为（389±40）μmol·mol^-1左右\]相比,大气CO₂浓度升高使花荚期绿豆叶片净光合速率(P_n)和胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)分别升高11.7%和9.8%,气孔导度(G_s)和蒸腾速率(T_r)分别下降32.0%和24.6%, 水分利用效率(WUE)提高83.5%;在蕾期,CO₂浓度升高对绿豆叶片叶绿素初始荧光(F_o)、最大荧光（F_m）、可变荧光（F_v）、F_v/F_m和F_v/F_o没有显著影响;在鼓粒期,CO₂浓度升高使绿豆叶片F_o增加19.1%,F_m和F_v分别下降9.0%和14.3%,F_v/F_o和F_v/F_m分别下降25.8%和6.2%.表明大气CO₂浓度升高可能使绿豆生长后期光系统Ⅱ反应中心结构受到破坏,叶片的光合能力下降.     

交替呼吸途径对CuCl2胁迫下菜豆叶片光系统Ⅱ的保护作用

以“农普”12号菜豆幼苗为材料,采用1mmol·L^-1的水杨基氧肟酸（SHAM）抑制交替呼吸途径活性,探讨了在CuCl₂胁迫下交替呼吸途径对菜豆幼苗叶片光系统Ⅱ的保护作用。结果表明,随着CuCl₂胁迫浓度的增加,菜豆幼苗叶片潜在最大光化学效率F_v/F_m、光适应下叶片的最大光化学效率F_v'/F_m'、PSⅡ的实际光化学效率Y（Ⅱ）以及光化学猝灭系数qP、叶绿素含量均呈下降趋势,而非光学猝灭系数NPQ和交替呼吸途径的容量水平则呈上升趋势。较之在CuCl₂处理下的菜豆幼苗,用交替呼吸途径抑制剂预处理后的菜豆再置于CuCl₂的胁迫下,则会导致F_v/F_m、F_v'/F_m'、Y（Ⅱ）、qP以及叶绿素含量的进一步下降和NPQ的进一步上升。上述观察表明,在CuCl₂胁迫下交替呼吸途径可以缓解PSⅡ光化学效率的下降、维持PSⅡ反应中心的开放程度、减少天线色素的热耗散以及缓解叶绿素含量的降低,从而保护菜豆叶片光系统Ⅱ免受CuCl₂胁迫的伤害。     

模拟岩溶旱钙土壤基质中AM真菌对玉米幼苗光合生长的影响

利用盆栽试验,探讨了AM真菌在模拟岩溶区干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫的土壤基质中对玉米幼苗光合生长的影响。结果表明:玉米幼苗的菌根侵染率在不同处理下的大小顺序为对照干旱双重胁迫高钙。无论接种与否,干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫均导致玉米幼苗生物量、净光合速率下降。未接种AM真菌条件下,玉米幼苗生物量在干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫下较对照分别低3.2%、63.7%、76.0%,净光合速率较对照分别低33.4%、86.9%、98.8%;接种AM真菌条件下,玉米幼苗生物量在干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫下较对照分别低16.3%、78.4%、80.2%,净光合速率较对照分别低9.7%、92.8%、91.7%。与同种条件下的非菌根植株相比,干旱及双重胁迫下的菌根植株生物量、叶绿素含量、光合蒸腾速率、最大光化学效率,以及P吸收均呈上升趋势;高钙胁迫下的菌根植株叶绿素含量、最大光化学效率有所增加,但生物量、光合蒸腾速率以及N、P的吸收未体现菌根促进效应。AM真菌与干旱及双重胁迫的交互作用对玉米幼苗的净光合速率影响显著,与高钙交互作用对玉米幼苗净光合速率无显著影响。AM真菌能够通过促进玉米幼苗N、P吸收及叶绿素含量增加,光化学效率、气孔导度增大,从而提高玉米幼苗光合作用能力促进生长。实验结果对岩溶生态系统中合理利用菌根技术及制定合理的农业生产措施具有重要的理论和实践意义。     

干旱胁迫和CO2浓度升高条件下白羊草的光合特征

采用盆栽控制试验,研究了黄土丘陵区乡土种白羊草在不同水分水平(80%FC和40%FC)和CO₂浓度(375和750 μmol·m^-2·s^-1) 处理下的光合生理变化特征.结果表明： 干旱胁迫使白羊草的最大净光合速率(P_nmax)、表观量子效率(AQE)、气孔导度(g_s)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、潜在光化学效率(F_v/F_o)和光合色素含量降低,丙二醛(MDA)和脯氨酸(Pro)含量升高.水分充足条件下,与正常大气CO₂浓度相比,大气CO₂浓度倍增下白羊草的P_{n max}、MDA和Pro含量无显著差异.干旱胁迫下,CO₂浓度升高提高了白羊草的最大荧光(F_m)、F_v/F_m、F_v/F_o、叶绿素含量和AQE, P_nmax比正常CO₂浓度下高23.3%,差异达到显著水平,而MDA和Pro含量均显著降低.CO₂浓度升高对干旱胁迫引起的白羊草光合能力下降有一定的补偿作用,减轻了干旱胁迫对白羊草的伤害.     

盐雾胁迫对极小种群植物日本荚蒾光合生理的影响

为评价日本荚蒾(Viburnum japonicum)的耐盐雾能力,对4 a生实生苗用不同盐雾浓度处理(盐雾NaCl质量浓度分别为0%、1%、2%、3%),测定叶片净光合速率、最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)和叶绿素含量(Chl)等指标的变化。结果表明,1%盐雾处理的日本荚蒾植株能够存活,但生长不良,大于2%的盐雾处理的植株全部死亡。随着浓度的升高,日本荚蒾叶片的最大光合速率、F_v/F_m及Chl含量下降,而光饱和点及光补偿点总体呈上升趋势。这说明盐雾胁迫通过伤害光系统Ⅱ反应中心、改变植物可利用光能范围及降低叶绿素含量影响植物的光合作用。     

不同浓度Ni、Cu处理对骆驼蓬光合作用和叶绿素荧光特性的影响

以骆驼蓬幼苗为材料,采用盆栽试验研究不同浓度（0、50、100、200、400 mg·kg^-1）Ni、Cu处理对骆驼蓬叶片光合作用、叶绿素荧光特性及生长状况的影响.结果表明： 随着Ni浓度的增加,骆驼蓬幼苗叶片的光合色素含量、净光合速率（P_n）、气孔导度（G_s）、蒸腾速率（T_r）、PSⅡ最大光化学效率（F_v/F_m）、PSⅡ电子传递量子产率（Φ_PSⅡ）、光化学猝灭系数（q_P）及各项生长指标均呈显著下降趋势,而细胞间隙CO₂浓度（C_i）和非光化学猝灭系数（q_N）呈显著增加趋势,其中P_n的下降主要是由非气孔限制所致;骆驼蓬幼苗叶片的光合色素含量、P_n、G_s、T_r、C_i、F_v/F_m、Φ_PSⅡ、q_P及各项生长指标均在50 mg·kg^-1 Cu处理时达到峰值,叶绿素a和b、P_n、G_s、T_r、C_i、F_v/F_m及各项生长指标值在100 mg·kg^-1 Cu处理时仍微高于对照,而后随Cu浓度的增加,光合色素含量、P_n、G_s、T_r、C_i、 F_v/F_m、Φ_PSⅡ、q_P及各项生长指标均呈下降趋势,q_N呈增加趋势,其中P_n的下降主要是由气孔限制所致.

以两年生柿树为试材,研究了高浓度CO₂处理（700 μmol·mol^-1）、高温处理（日平均温度高于正常日平均温度约5 ℃）、高温和高浓度CO₂复合处理及对照（温度为外界环境温度,CO₂浓度380 μmol·mol^-1）对不同水分条件下柿树净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(G_s)、水分利用效率(WUE)、叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数F_v/F_m、F_v/F_o的影响.结果表明:高温和高浓度CO₂复合处理使处于各水分条件下的柿树T_r、G_s减小,WUE增大;在高、中水分条件(分别为田间持水量的75%～85%和55%～65%)下高温和高浓度CO₂复合处理使柿树P_n增大,在低水分条件(为田间持水量的35%～45%)下使柿树P_n减小.高浓度CO₂处理使处于各水分条件下的柿树P_n、WUE增大,G_s、T减小.高温及高温和高浓度CO₂复合处理下WUE均受土壤水分状况的影响,并随土壤含水量的升高而升高.与对照相比,高浓度CO₂处理还提高了各水分条件下植株叶片水平的水分利用效率、叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素（a+b）、类胡萝卜素含量及F_v/F_m和F_v/F_o,缓解了水分胁迫,提高了柿树的抗逆能力.     

Arbuscular mycorrhizae improves low temperature stress in maize via alterations in host water status and photosynthesis

The effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus etunicatum, on growth, water status, chlorophyll concentration and photosynthesis in maize (Zea mays L.) plants was investigated in pot culture under low temperature stress. The maize plants were placed in a sand and soil mixture at 25°C for 7 weeks, and then subjected to 5°C, 15°C and 25°C for 1 week. Low temperature stress decreased AM root colonization. AM symbiosis stimulated plant growth and had higher root dry weight at all temperature treatments. Mycorrhizal plants had better water status than corresponding non-mycorrhizal plants, and significant differences were found in water conservation (WC) and water use efficiency (WUE) regardless of temperature treatments. AM colonization increased the concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll a + b. The maximal fluorescence (Fm), maximum quantum efficiency of PSII primary photochemistry (Fv/Fm) and potential photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fo) were higher, but primary fluorescence (Fo) was lower in AM plants compared with non-AM plants. AM inoculation notably increased net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and transpiration rate (E) of maize plants. Mycorrhizal plants had higher stomatal conductance (g_s) than non-mycorrhizal plants with significant difference only at 5°C. Intercellular CO₂ concentration (Ci) was lower in mycorrhizal than that in non-mycorrhizal plants, especially under low temperature stress. The results indicated that AM symbiosis protect maize plants against low temperature stress through improving the water status and photosynthetic capacity.     

光强在低温弱光胁迫后番茄叶片光合作用恢复中的作用

为了研究光强在低温弱光胁迫后番茄叶片光合作用恢复中的作用,以番茄品种浙粉202为材料,研究了低温弱光后恢复期全光照与遮荫对光合作用和叶绿素荧光参数的影响。结果表明：低温弱光（8℃/12℃,PFD 80 μmol·m^-2·s^-1）导致番茄叶片P_n、Φ_PSⅡ、qP和F_v′/F_m′的下降,但诱导了NPQ的上升,未引起F_v/F_m的变化;全光照（100%光照）下恢复1 使得植株叶片P_n、F_v/F_m、Φ_PSⅡ、qP、NPQ和F_v′/F_m′均大幅下降,随后光合和荧光参数可缓慢恢复至对照水平;遮荫（40%光照）恢复植株F_v/F_m、Φ_PSⅡ和F_v′/F_m′仅在第一天稍有下降,而P_n和qP还略有上升,NPQ虽有所降低但仍显著高于对照水平,随后光合和荧光参数均可迅速恢复到对照水平。说明低温弱光虽抑制了光合作用的进行,但并未引起光抑制的发生;全光照恢复加剧了叶片光抑制的发生,而遮荫恢复可通过叶片PSⅡ光化学活性的快速恢复和天线色素热耗散能力的增强以保护光合机构免受伤害,有利于光合作用的迅速恢复。     

不同灌溉处理对铁观音茶树光合作用的影响

以田间栽培的2年生铁观音茶树为试验材料,应用叶绿素荧光诱导动力学技术,以不灌溉为对照,分析不同灌溉间隔时间处理［5 d（T₁）、10 d (T₂)、15 d (T₃)、20 d (T₄) 和25 d (T₅)］对铁观音茶树叶片光合作用的影响.结果表明: 随着灌溉间隔期的延长,2年生铁观音茶树叶片水势和叶绿素含量降低; 净光合速率(P_n)先上升后降低,在T₂下达到最大(15.55 μmol·m^-2·s^-1); 光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)的原初光能转化效率(F_v/F_m)、可变荧光衰减(ΔF_v)和可变荧光淬灭速率(ΔF_v/F_o)均在T₂下达到最大值,分别为0.844、342.5和4.03.初始荧光(F_o)随着灌溉间隔期的延长而降低,而对照的F_o则呈上升趋势,表明干旱可对茶树叶片PSⅡ造成损害.灌溉间隔期为10 d处理有利于茶树叶片光合电子的传递和CO₂的同化,提高茶树的光合作用效率.     

两种生境条件下6种牧草叶绿素含量及荧光参数的比较

昆仑山前山牧场海拔较高, 策勒绿洲海拔相对较低, 两者生境差异较大。以昆仑山前山牧场和策勒绿洲边缘两种不同生境条件下生长的6种牧草: 冰草(Agropyron cristatum)、无芒雀麦(Bromus inermis)、矮生高羊茅(Festuca elata)、披碱草(Elymus dahuricus )、红豆草(Onobrychis pulchella)及和田大叶(Medicago sativa var. luxurians)为试验材料, 研究了不同生境条件下牧草叶片叶绿素含量及叶绿素荧光动力学参数的变化情况。结果显示: (1)在两种生境条件下, 昆仑山前山牧场生境生长的牧草叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素的含量明显较高, 生长在策勒绿洲生境的牧草品种叶绿素a/b值较高; (2)昆仑山前山牧场生境牧草最大荧光、光系统II (PSII)最大光化学效率、PSII潜在活性和单位面积反应中心的数量的值明显高于策勒绿洲生境品种, 而初始荧光、单位反应中心吸收的光能、单位反应中心捕获的能量、单位反应中心耗散的能量、荧光诱导曲线初始斜率值则低于策勒绿洲生境品种。因此, 两种生境下环境因子发生了改变, 对牧草产生综合的胁迫作用; 策勒绿洲生境明显对牧草生长产生了抑制, 策勒绿洲生境牧草的色素含量降低以及PSII的机构遭到损坏, 导致反应中心一部分失活或裂解, 剩余有活性的反应中心的效率增加, 昆仑山生境则相对比较适宜牧草生长; 两种生境不同牧草叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数的变化幅度不同。     

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus on photosynthesis and water status of maize under high temperature stress

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis on gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, pigment concentration and water status of maize plants in pot culture under high temperature stress. Zea mays L. genotype Zhengdan 958 were cultivated in soil at 26/22°C for 6 weeks, and later subjected to 25, 35 and 40°C for 1 week. The plants inoculated with the AM fungus Glomus etunicatum were compared with the non-inoculated plants. The results showed that high temperature stress decreased the biomass of the maize plants. AM symbiosis markedly enhanced the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate in the maize leaves. Compared with the non-mycorrhizal plants, mycorrhizal plants had lower intercellular CO₂ concentration under 40°C stress. The maximal fluorescence, maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry and potential photochemical efficiency of mycorrhizal plants were significantly higher than corresponding non-mycorrhizal plants under high temperature stress. AM-inoculated plants had higher concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid than non-inoculated plants. Furthermore, AM colonization increased water use efficiency, water holding capacity and relative water content. In conclusion, maize roots inoculated with AM fungus may protect the plants against high temperature stress by improving photosynthesis and water status.     

Protection effect of nitric oxide on photosynthesis in rice under heat stress

The effect of exogenous applied nitric oxide on photosynthesis under heat stress was investigated in rice seedlings. High temperature resulted in significant reductions of the net photosynthetic rate (P _N) due to non-stomatal components. Application of nitric oxide donors, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), dramatically alleviated the decrease of P _N induced by high temperature. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurement revealed that high temperature caused significant increase of the initial fluorescence (F _o) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) whereas remarkable decrease of the maximal fluorescence (F _m), the maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry (F _v/F _m), the actual PSII efficiency (Φ_PSII), and photochemical quenching (q _p). In the presence of SNP or GSNO pretreatment, the increase of F _o and decrease of F _m, F _v/F _m, Φ_PSII and q _p were markedly mitigated, but NPQ was further elevated. Moreover, with SNP or GSNO pretreatment, H₂O₂ accumulation and electrolyte leakage induced by heat treatment were significantly reduced, whereas zeaxanthin content and carotenoid content relative to chlorophyll were elevated. The potassium salt of 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO), a specific NO scavenger, arrested NO donors mediated effects. These results suggest that NO can effectively protect photosynthesis from damage induced by heat stress. The activation effect of NO on photosynthesis may be mediated by acting as ROS scavenging, or/and alleviating oxidative stress via maintaining higher carotenoid content relative to chlorophyll or/and enhancing thermal dissipation of excess energy through keeping higher level of zeaxanthin content under heat stress.     

Non-photochemical quenching of Fo in leaves is emission wavelength dependent: consequences for quenching analysis and its interpretation

The effects of light-induced non-photochemical quenching on the minimal F_o, and variable F_v, fluorescence emissions at 690 and 730 nm in leaves were determined. Non-photochemical quenching of F_o, but not F_v, was found to be dependent upon the wavelength of emission, and was greater at 690 nm than at 730 nm. For emission at 730, compared to at 690 nm, approx. 30% of F_o was not affected by non-photochemical quenching processes in leaves of C3 plants; in maize leaves this was found to be approx. 50%. The data indicate that a substantial proportion of the pigments contributing to F_o emission at 730 nm are not quenched by light-induced, non-photochemical quenching processes and that there are large differences in the pigment matrices contributing to F_o and F_v emissions at 730 nm, compared to those at 690 nm. These findings have important implications for the accurate estimation and interpretation of non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence parameters and their use in the calculation of photochemical efficiencies in leaves. Measurements of fluorescence emissions at wavelengths above 700 nm are likely to give rise to significant errors when used for determinations of photochemical and non-photochemical quenching parameters.     

Lanthanum improves salt tolerance of maize seedlings

In this study, the effects of lanthanum were investigated on contents of pigments, chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence, antioxidative enzymes, and biomass of maize seedlings under salt stress. The results showed that salt stress significantly decreased the contents of Chl and carotenoids, maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (F_v/F_m), photochemical quenching (q_P), and quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Φ_PSII), net photosynthetic rate (P_N), and biomass. Salt stress increased nonphotochemical quenching (q_N), the activities of ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and the contents of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide compared with control. Pretreatment with lanthanum prior to salt stress significantly enhanced the contents of Chl and carotenoids, F_v/F_m, q_P, q_N, Φ_PSII, P_N, biomass, and activities of the above antioxidant enzymes compared with the salt-stressed plants. Pretreatment with lanthanum also significantly reduced the contents of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide induced by salt stress. Our results suggested that lanthanum can improve salt tolerance of maize seedlings by enhancing the function of photosynthetic apparatus and antioxidant capacity.     

低温弱光胁迫及恢复对切花菊光合作用和叶绿素荧光参数的影响

以切花菊品种‘神马’为试材,在偏低温弱光(16℃/12℃,PFD100μmol.m-2.s-1)和临界低温弱光(12℃/8℃,PFD60μmol.m-2.s-1)下分别胁迫11d,然后转入正常条件(22℃/18℃,PFD450μmol.m-2.s-1)恢复11d,研究不同低温弱光强度及恢复对菊花光合作用和叶绿素荧光参数的影响.结果表明:低温弱光导致菊花叶片的净光合速率(Pn)和气孔限制值(Ls)下降,而胞间CO2浓度(Ci)上升.偏低温弱光胁迫下菊花叶片暗适应下最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)和初始荧光(Fo)无明显变化,但光适应下最大光化学效率(Fv′/Fm′)在处理前期略有下降,后期则有所回升;而临界低温弱光处理的Fo明显升高,Fv/Fm和Fv′/Fm′显著降低.PSⅡ光合电子传递量子效率(ΦPSⅡ)、光化学猝灭系数(qP)和表观光合电子传递速率(ETR)均随着低温弱光胁迫程度的增加和时间的延长而降低;偏低温弱光处理植株在解除胁迫后能迅速恢复到对照水平,而临界低温弱光处理植株回升速度较慢;同时,低温弱光胁迫下吸收光强用于分配光化学反应部分(Prate)的比例减少,而天线热耗散(Drate)和反应中心的能量耗散(Ex)比例上升,但天线热耗散为过剩光能的主要分配途径.     

Effects of elevated temperature on photosynthesis in desert plant <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alhagi sparsifolia</Emphasis> S

Most plants growing in temperate desert zone exhibit brief temperature-induced inhibition of photosynthesis at midday in the summer. Heat stress has been suggested to restrain the photosynthesis of desert plants like Alhagi sparsifolia S. It is therefore possible that high midday temperatures damage photosynthetic tissues, leading to the observed inhibition of photosynthesis. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying heat-induced inhibition of photosynthesis in A. sparsifolia, a dominant species found at the transition zone between oasis and sandy desert on the southern fringe of the Taklamakan desert. The chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence induction kinetics and CO₂ response curves were used to analyze the thermodynamic characters of both photosystem II (PSII) and Rubisco after leaves were exposed to heat stress. When the leaves were heated to temperatures below 43°C, the initial fluorescence of the dark-adapted state (F_o), and the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (F_v/F_m), the number of active reaction centers per cross section (RCs) and the leaf vitality index (PI) increased or declined moderately. These responses were reversed, however, upon cooling. Moreover, the energy allocation in PSII remained stable. The gradual appearance of a K point in the fluorescence curve at 48°C indicated that higher temperatures strongly impaired PSII and caused irreversible damage. As the leaf temperature increased, the activity of Rubisco first increased to a maximum at 34°C and then decreased as the temperature rose higher. Under high-temperature stress, cell began to accumulate oxidative species, including ammoniacal nitrogen, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and superoxide (O₂ ^·−), suggesting that disruption of photosynthesis may result from oxidative damage to photosynthetic proteins and thylakoid membranes. Under heat stress, the biosynthesis of nonenzyme radical scavenging carotenoids (Cars) increased. We suggest that although elevated temperature affects the heat-sensitive components comprising of PSII and Rubisco, under moderately high temperature the decrease in photosynthesis is mostly due to inactivation of dark reactions.
