The relationship between whole chain photosynthetic electron transport and PSII activity was investigated in Porphyra columbina (Montagne) (Rhodophyta), Ulva australis (Areschoug) (Chlorophyta), and Zonaria crenata ( J. Agardh) (Phaeophyta). Mass spectrometric measurements of gross O2 evolution and gross O2 uptake were combined with simultaneous measurement of pulse-modulated chl fluorescence under a range of irradiances and inorganic carbon (Ci) concentrations. At light-limiting irradiance, a good correlation between gross O2 evolution and the electron transport rate (ETR) calculated from chl fluorescence ((Fm′− Fs)/Fm′) was found in the optically thin species (Ulva and Porphyra). The calculated ETR was equivalent to the theoretical electron requirement in these species but overestimated gross O2 evolution in the thicker species Zonaria. In saturating light, especially when Ci availability was low, ETR overestimated gross O2 evolution in all species. Excess electron flow could not be accounted for by an increase in gross O2 uptake; thus neither Mehler-ascorbate-peroxidase reaction nor the photosynthetic carbon oxidation cycle were enhanced at high irradiance or low C i. Alternative explanations for the loss of correlation include cyclic electron flow around PSII that may be engaged under these conditions or nonphotochemical energy quenching within PSII centers. The loss of correlation between ETR and linear photosynthetic electron flow as irradiance increased from limiting to saturating or at low Ci availability and in the case of optically thick thalli limits the application of this technique for measuring photosynthesis in macroalgae.  相似文献

The electron transport rate (ETR) versus gross photosynthesis (GPS) relationship varies as a function of species, temperature, irradiance, and inorganic carbon levels, but less is known about the effect of nitrogen supply on this relationship. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrate concentration on the ETR versus GPS relationship in Ulva rigida C. Agardh from the Mediterranean Sea. Chlorophyll content and tissue absorptance increased 2‐fold as nitrate in the media increased from 0 to 50 μM. Whereas internal N content increases 3‐fold at 50 μM, internal C increased slightly. Oxygen evolution and ETR, evaluated as in vivo chl fluorescence using pulse amplitude modulated fluorometry, in general saturated at irradiances above 100 μmol photons·m?2·s?1. Both maximum ETR and GPS values increased as nitrate concentration increased. In general, the ETR versus GPS relationship showed a linear response to increasing nitrate with little variance of the data. This relationship, however, became more variable at high irradiances and high nitrate concentrations. The ETR/GPS ratio was close to the theoretical value of 4 at low nitrate concentrations, and the ratio decreased exponentially when nitrate concentration in the media increased. The variations of ETR/GPS under different inorganic nitrogen supply are discussed in terms of the effect of nitrate on the photosynthesis and respiration relationship.  相似文献

Seagrass photosynthesis is usually measured in laboratory experiments, following oxygen evolution in closed chambers. Pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry constitutes an alternative and non-intrusive method of measuring photosynthesis in the field. Validation of electron transport rate (ETR) measurements as reliable estimators of actual photosynthetic production requires that a significant linear relationship between oxygen production and ETR is demonstrated, and also that a 0.25 molar ratio between these two measures is verified. In this work, both parameters were measured simultaneously in laboratory experiments, over a range of light intensities, under well-defined and controlled conditions. A linear relationship was observed between the average rates of oxygen production and the electron transport rates for Zostera noltii (Hornemann) obtained at several irradiances. The molar ratio found between oxygen production and ETR was 0.15±0.02, lower than the theoretically expected value of 0.25. The use of PAM fluorescence as a valid proxy for photosynthetic production was validated for the range of 35-490 μmol photons m−2 s−1 (PAR), under the assumption that the electron sinks responsible for the molar ratio deviation remain constant in similar experimental conditions.  相似文献

Direct comparisons between photosynthetic O2 evolution rate and electron transport rate (ETR) were made in situ over 24 h using the benthic macroalga Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta), growing and measured at a depth of 1.8 m, where the midday irradiance rose to 400–600 μmol photons m−2 s−1. O2 exchange was measured with a 5-chamber data-logging apparatus and ETR with a submersible pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometer (Diving-PAM). Steady-state quantum yield ((Fm′−Ft)/Fm′) decreased from 0.7 during the morning to 0.45 at midday, followed by some recovery in the late afternoon. At low to medium irradiances (0–300 μmol photons m−2 s−1), there was a significant correlation between O2 evolution and ETR, but at higher irradiances, ETR continued to increase steadily, while O2 evolution tended towards an asymptote. However at high irradiance levels (600–1200 μmol photons m−2 s−1) ETR was significantly lowered. Two methods of measuring ETR, based on either diel ambient light levels and fluorescence yields or rapid light curves, gave similar results at low to moderate irradiance levels. Nutrient enrichment (increases in [NO3 ], [NH4 +] and [HPO4 2-] of 5- to 15-fold over ambient concentrations) resulted in an increase, within hours, in photosynthetic rates measured by both ETR and O2 evolution techniques. At low irradiances, approximately 6.5 to 8.2 electrons passed through PS II during the evolution of one molecule of O2, i.e., up to twice the theoretical minimum number of four. However, in nutrient-enriched treatments this ratio dropped to 5.1. The results indicate that PAM fluorescence can be used as a good indication of the photosynthetic rate only at low to medium irradiances. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The relationship between O2-based gross photosynthesis (GP) and in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence of Photosystem II-based electron transport rate (ETR) as well as the relationship between effective quantum yield of fluorescence (ΦPSII) and quantum yield of oxygen evolution (ΦO_2) were examined in the green algae Ulva rotundata and Ulva olivascens and the red alga Porphyra leucosticta collected from the field and incubated for 3 days at 100 μmol m−2 s−1 in nutrient enriched seawater. Maximal GP was twice as high in Ulva species than that measured in P. leucosticta. In all species ETR was saturated at much higher irradiance than GP. The initial slope of ETR versus absorbed irradiance was higher than that of GP versus absorbed irradiance. Only under absorbed irradiances below saturation or at values of GP <2 μmol O2 m−2 s−1 a linear relationship was observed. In the linear phase, calculated O2 evolved /ETR molar ratios were closed to the theoretical value of 0.25 in Ulva species. In P. leucosticta, the estimated GP was associated to the estimated ETR only at high irradiances. ETR was determined under white light, red light emitting by diodes and solar radiation. In Ulva species the maximal ETR was reached under red light and solar radiation whereas in P. leucosticta the maximal ETR was reached under white light and minimal under red light. These results are in agreement with the known action spectra for photosynthesis in these species. In the case of P. leucosticta, GP and ETR were additionally determined under saturating irradiance in algae pre-incubated for one week under white light at different irradiances and at white light (100 μmol m−2 s−1) enriched with far-red light. GP and growth rate increased at a growth irradiance of 500 μmol m−2 s−1 becoming photoinhibited at higher irradiances, while ETR increased when algae were exposed to the highest growth irradiance applied (2000 μmol m−2 s−1). The calculated O2 evolved /ETR molar ratios were close to the theoretical value of 0.25 when algae were pre-incubated under 500–1000 μmol m−2 s−1. The enrichment by FR light provoked a decrease in both GP and ETR and an increase of nonphotochemical quenching although the irradiance of PAR was maintained at a constant level. In addition to C assimilation, other electron sinks, such as nitrogen assimilation, affected the GP–ETR relationship. The slopes of GP versus ETR or ΦPSII versus ΦO_2 were lower in the algae with the highest N assimilation capacity, estimated as nitrate reductase activity and internal nitrogen contents, i.e., Ulva rotundata and Porphyra leucosticta, than that observed in U. olivascens. The possible mechanisms to explain this discrepancy between GP and ETR are discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Mass spectrometric analysis of oxygen uptake and evolution in the light by marine Synechococcus WH7803 indicated that the respiration rate was near zero at low irradiance levels but increased significantly at high irradiances. The light intensity (Ir) at which oxygen uptake began to increase with increasing light intensity depended on the growth irradiance of the culture. In each case, Ir coincided with the minimum light intensity for saturation of carbon assimilation (Ik). At irradiances >Ir, net oxygen evolution rates paralleled carbon assimilation rates. Oxygen uptake at high light intensities was inhibited by DCMU, indicating that oxygen uptake was due to Mehler reaction activity. The onset of Mehler activity at Ik supports the idea that oxygen becomes an alternative sink for electrons from photosystem I when NADPH turnover is limited by the capacity of the dark reactions to utilize reductant.  相似文献

The relationship between electron transport rate through PSIIand photosynthetic oxygen evolution in cyanobacterial surfacewaterblooms was followed over a diel cycle. Chlorophyll fluorescenceand photosynthetic oxygen evolution (PSOE) measurements wereperformed in a small-volume incubatin chamber on samples takenfrom a fish pond. Measurement of light-response curves showeda close to linear relationship between electron transport rates(ETR) and PSOE up to irradiancies of 800 quanta–2 s–1,except during mid-morning conditions. At higher irradiances,the relationship was non-linear. The regression coefficient  相似文献

Many laboratories have solely used the Wilson isolate to physiologically characterize the harmful algal bloom (HAB) dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (C. C. Davis) G. Hansen et Moestrup. However, analysis of one isolate may lead to misinterpretations when extrapolating measurements to field populations. In this study, pulse‐amplitude‐modulated chlorophyll fluorometer (PAM‐FL) relative electron transport rate (ETR), Fv/Fm, and chl were compared with traditional techniques, such as 14C photosynthesis versus irradiance (P–E) curves, DCMU [3‐(3′,4′‐dichlorophenyl)‐1,1‐dimethyl urea] Fv/Fm, and extracted chl. The DCMU and PAM‐FL values of Fv/Fm (r2 = 0.51) and chl (r2 = 0.58) were in good agreement. There was no correlation between 14C and PAM‐FL α, Pmax, and β parameters because PAM‐FL ETR was only a relative measurement. The PAM‐FL techniques were then used to investigate P–E curves, quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), and chl from 10 K. brevis isolates to determine whether one or all isolates would better represent the species. Comparisons were made with a radial photosynthetron, which allowed for controlled conditions of light and temperature. Isolate α, Pmax, and β varied between 0.097 and 0.204 μmol e? · m?2 · s?1 · (μmol quanta · m?2 · s?1)?1, 80.41 and 241 μmol e? · m?2 · s?1, and 0.005 and 0.160 μmol e? · m?2 · s?1 · (μmol quanta · m?2 · s?1)?1, respectively. Either carbon limitation and/or bacterial negative feedback were implicated as the cause of the P–E parameter variability. Furthermore, these results directly contradicted some literature suggestions that K. brevis is a low‐light‐adapted dinoflagellate. Results showed that K. brevis was more than capable of utilizing and surviving in light conditions that may be present on cloudless days off Florida.  相似文献

The combined effects of ammonium concentration and UV radiation on the red alga Porphyra columbina (Montagne) from the Patagonian coast (Chubut, Argentina) was determined using short‐term (less than a week) experimentation. Discs of P. columbina were incubated with three ammonium concentrations (0, 50, and 300 μM NH4Cl) in anilluminated chamber (PAR=300 μmol photons·m?2·s?1, UVA=15 W·m?2, UVB=0.7 W·m?2) at 15°C. Algae incubated at 300 μM ammonium showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in the concentration of mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) compared with the initial value or with the other ammonium treatments. The increase of MAAs was, however, a function of the quality of irradiance received, with a higher increase in samples exposed to UVA compared with UVB (29% and 5% increase, respectively). However, UVB radiation was more effective in inducing MAA synthesis per unit energy received by the algae. Samples exposed to PAR only had an intermediate increase in MAA concentration of 16%. Chl a concentration decreased through the incubation with the greatest decrease at high ammonium concentration. Phycobiliprotein (BP) decreased through time with the smallest decrease occurring at high ammonium concentration. Photoinhibition (as a decrease of optimal quantum yield) was significantly greater under nitrogen‐deprived conditions than that under replete ammonium levels. Maximal gross photosynthesis (GPmax), as oxygen evolution, and maximal electron transport rate (ETRmax), as chl fluorescence, increased with the ammonium concentration. Positive relationships between maximal GP or ETR and pigment ratios (BP/chl a and MAAs/chl a) and negative relationships with chl a concentration were found.  相似文献

The photosynthesis‐irradiance response (PE) curve, in which mass‐specific photosynthetic rates are plotted versus irradiance, is commonly used to characterize photoacclimation. The interpretation of PE curves depends critically on the currency in which mass is expressed. Normalizing the light‐limited rate to chl a yields the chl a‐specific initial slope (αchl). This is proportional to the light absorption coefficient (achl), the proportionality factor being the photon efficiency of photosynthesis (φm). Thus, αchl is the product of achl and φm. In microalgae αchl typically shows little (<20%) phenotypic variability because declines of φm under conditions of high‐light stress are accompanied by increases of achl. The variation of αchl among species is dominated by changes in achl due to differences in pigment complement and pigment packaging. In contrast to the microalgae, αchl declines as irradiance increases in the cyanobacteria where phycobiliproteins dominate light absorption because of plasticity in the phycobiliprotein:chl a ratio. By definition, light‐saturated photosynthesis (Pm) is limited by a factor other than the rate of light absorption. Normalizing Pm to organic carbon concentration to obtain PmC allows a direct comparison with growth rates. Within species, PmC is independent of growth irradiance. Among species, PmC covaries with the resource‐saturated growth rate. The chl a:C ratio is a key physiological variable because the appropriate currencies for normalizing light‐limited and light‐saturated photosynthetic rates are, respectively, chl a and carbon. Typically, chl a:C is reduced to about 40% of its maximum value at an irradiance that supports 50% of the species‐specific maximum growth rate and light‐harvesting accessory pigments show similar or greater declines. In the steady state, this down‐regulation of pigment content prevents microalgae and cyanobacteria from maximizing photosynthetic rates throughout the light‐limited region for growth. The reason for down‐regulation of light harvesting, and therefore loss of potential photosynthetic gain at moderately limiting irradiances, is unknown. However, it is clear that maximizing the rate of photosynthetic carbon assimilation is not the only criterion governing photoacclimation.  相似文献

Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz. 7820 was cultured at 350 and 700 μL·L ? 1 CO2 to assess the impacts of doubled atmospheric CO2 concentration on this bloom‐forming cyanobacterium. Doubling of CO2 concentration in the airflow enhanced its growth by 52%–77%, with pH values decreased and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) increased in the medium. Photosynthetic efficiencies and dark respiratory rates expressed per unit chl a tended to increase with the doubling of CO2. However, saturating irradiances for photosynthesis and light‐saturated photosynthetic rates normalized to cell number tended to decrease with the increase of DIC in the medium. Doubling of CO2 concentration in the airflow had less effect on DIC‐saturated photosynthetic rates and apparent photosynthetic affinities for DIC. In the exponential phase, CO2 and HCO3 ? levels in the medium were higher than those required to saturate photosynthesis. Cultures with surface aeration were DIC limited in the stationary phase. The rate of CO2 dissolution into the liquid increased proportionally when CO2 in air was raised from 350 to 700 μL·L ? 1, thus increasing the availability of DIC in the medium and enhancing the rate of photosynthesis. Doubled CO2 could enhance CO2 dissolution, lower pH values, and influence the ionization fractions of various DIC species even when the photosynthesis was not DIC limited. Consequently, HCO3 ? concentrations in cultures were significantly higher than in controls, and the photosynthetic energy cost for the operation of CO2 concentrating mechanism might decrease.  相似文献

Responses of photosynthetic rates, determined by oxygen evolution using the light and dark bottles technique, to different temperatures, irradiances, pH, and diurnal rhythm were analyzed under laboratory conditions in four charophyte species (Chara braunii Gmelin, C. guairensis R. Bicudo, Nitella subglomerata A. Braun and Nitella sp.) from lotic habitats in southeastern Brazil. Parameters derived from the photosynthesis versus irradiance curves indicated affinity to low irradiances for all algae tested. Some degree of photoinhibition, [β= ‐(0.30–0.13) mg O2 g?1 dry weight Ir1 (μmol photons m?2 s?1)?1], low light compensation points (Ic= 4–20 μmol photons m?2 s?1) were found for all species analyzed, as well as low values of light saturation parameter (Ik) and saturation (Is) 29–130 and 92–169 μmol photons m?2 s?1, respectively. Photoacclimation was observed in two populations of N. subglomerata collected from sites with different irradiances, consisting of variations in photosynthetic parameters (higher values of a, and lower of Ik and maximum photosynthetic rate, Pmax, in the population under lower irradiance). The highest photosynthetic rates for Chara species were observed at 10–15°C, while for Nitella the highest photosynthetic rate was observed at 20–25°C, despite the lack of significant differences among most levels tested. Rates of dark respiration significantly increase with temperature, with the highest values at 25°C. The results from pH experiments showed highest photosynthetic rates under pH 4.0 for all algae, suggesting higher affinity for inorganic carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, except in one population of N. subglomerata, with similar rates under the three levels, suggesting indistinct use of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide. Diurnal changes in photosynthetic rates revealed a general pattern for most algae tested, which was characterized by two peaks: the first (higher) during the morning (07.00–11.00) and the second (lower) in the afternoon (14.00–17.00). This suggests an endogenous rhythm determining the daily variations in photosynthetic rates.  相似文献

The effect of pre-treatment with 200 mM NaCl on the response of four barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Bülbül-89, Kalaycı-97, Tarm-92 and Tokak-157/37) to UV-B radiation was investigated. Salt stress as well as UV-B irradiation led to a decrease of the total chlorophyll (chl) content in all cultivars, except in Kalaycı-97. While carotenoids are almost not affected by NaCl treatment, UV-B irradiation caused an increase by 5–20% of carotenoid content of all cultivars. UV-B induced damages of photosynthetic apparatus were estimated by the rate of photosynthetic electron transport measured by chl fluorescence and the rate of oxygen evolution, the latter being more affected. Pre-treatment with NaCl alleviated harmful effect of UV-B irradiation on F v/F m and ETR, but not on oxygen evolution. UV-B-induced and UV-B-absorbing compounds with absorption at 300 and 438 nm increased as a result of UV-B treatment. The level of stress marker proline increased considerably as a result of NaCl treatment, while UV-B irradiation resulted in a pronounced increase of the level of H2O2. MDA enhanced in the seedlings subjected to salt and UV-B stress. Established cross-acclimation to UV-B as a result of salt treatment could be due to the increased free proline and the level of UV-B absorbing compounds in barley seedlings subjected to NaCl.  相似文献

Photoadaptive responses in the toxic and bloom-forming dinoflagellates Gyrodinium aureolum Hulbert, Gymnodinium galatheanum Braarud, and two strains of Prorocentrum minimum (Pavillard)Schiller were evaluated with respect to pigment composition, light-harvesting characteristics, carbon and nitrogen contents, and growth rates in shade- and light-adapted cells. The two former species were grown at scalar irradiances of 30 and 170 μmol · m ?2 at a 12-h daylength at 20° C. The two strains of P. minimum were grown at 35 and 500 μmol. m?2· s?1 at a 2-h daylength at 20° C. For the first time, chlorophyll (chl) c3, characteristic of several bloom-forming prymnesiophytes, was detected in G. aureolum and G. galatheanum. Photoadaptional status affected the pigment composition strongly, and the interpretation of the variation depended on whether the pigment composition was normalized per cell, carbon, or chl a. Species-specific and photoadaptional differences in chl a-specific absorption (°ac, 400–700 nm) and chl a-normalized fluorescence excitation spectra of photosystem II fluorescence with or without addition of DCMU (°F and °FDCMU 400–700 nm) were evident. Gyrodinium aureolum and G. galatheanum exhibited in vivo spectral characteristics similar to chl c3-containing prymnesiophytes in accordance with their similar pigmentation. Prorocentrum minimum had in vivo absorption and fluorescence characteristics typical for peridinin-containing dinoflagellates. Species-specific differences in in vivo absorption were also observed as a function of package effect vs. growth irradiance. This effect could be explained by differences in intracellular pigment content, cell size/shape, and chloroplast morphology/numbers. Light- and shade-adapted cells of P. minimum contained 43 and 17% of photoprotective carotenoids (diadino + diatoxanthin) relative to chl a, respectively. The photoprotective function of these carotenoids was clearly observed as a reduction in °F and °F DCMU at 400–540 nm compared to °ac in light-adapted cells of P. minimum. Spectrally weighted light absorption (normalized to chl a and carbon, 400–700 nm) varied with species and growth conditions. The use of quantum-corrected and normalized fluorescence excitation spectra with or without DCMU-treated cells to estimate photosynthetically usable light is discussed. The usefulness of in vitro absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra for estimation of the degradation status of chl a and the ratio of chl a to total pigments is also discussed.  相似文献

The gross primary productivity of two seagrasses, Zostera marina and Ruppia maritima, and one green macroalga, Ulva intestinalis, was assessed in laboratory and field experiments to determine whether the photorespiratory pathway operates at a substantial level in these macrophytes and to what extent it is enhanced by naturally occurring shifts in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and O2 in dense vegetation. To achieve these conditions in laboratory experiments, seawater was incubated with U. intestinalis in light to obtain a range of higher pH and O2 levels and lower DIC levels. Gross photosynthetic O2 evolution was then measured in this pretreated seawater (pH, 7.8–9.8; high to low DIC:O2 ratio) at both natural and low O2 concentrations (adjusted by N2 bubbling). The presence of photorespiration was indicated by a lower gross O2 evolution rate under natural O2 conditions than when O2 was reduced. In all three macrophytes, gross photosynthetic rates were negatively affected by higher pH and lower DIC. However, while both seagrasses exhibited significant photorespiratory activity at increasing pH values, the macroalga U. intestinalis exhibited no such activity. Rates of seagrass photosynthesis were then assessed in seawater collected from the natural habitats (i.e., shallow bays characterized by high macrophyte cover and by low DIC and high pH during daytime) and compared with open baymouth water conditions (where seawater DIC is in equilibrium with air, normal DIC, and pH). The gross photosynthetic rates of both seagrasses were significantly higher when incubated in the baymouth water, indicating that these grasses can be significantly carbon limited in shallow bays. Photorespiration was also detected in both seagrasses under shallow bay water conditions. Our findings indicate that natural carbon limitations caused by high community photosynthesis can enhance photorespiration and cause a significant decline in seagrass primary production in shallow waters.  相似文献

A mass spectrometric 16O2/18O2-isotope technique was used to analyse the rates of gross O2 evolution, net O2 evolution and gross O2 uptake in relation to photon fluence rate by Dunaliella tertiolecta adapted to 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 M NaCl at 25°C and pH 7.0.At concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon saturating for photosynthesis (200 M) gross O2 evolution and net O2 evolution increased with increasing salinity as well as with photon fluence rate. Light compensation was also enhanced with increased salinities. Light saturation of net O2 evolution was reached at about 1000 mol m-2s-1 for all salt concentrations tested. Gross O2 uptake in the light was increased in relation to the NaCl concentration but it was decreased with increasing photon fluence rate for almost all salinities, although an enhanced flow of light generated electrons was simultaneously observed. In addition, a comparison between gross O2 uptake at 1000 mol photons m-2s-1, dark respiration before illumination and immediately after darkening of each experiment showed that gross O2 uptake in the light paralleled but was lower than mitochondrial O2 consumption in the dark.From these results it is suggested that O2 uptake by Dunaliella tertiolecta in the light is mainly influenced by mitochondrial O2 uptake. Therefore, it appears that the light dependent inhibition of gross O2 uptake is caused by a reduction in mitochondrial O2 consumption by light.Abbreviations DCMU 3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea - DHAP dihydroxy-acetonephosphate - DIC dissolved inorganic carbon - DRa rate of dark respiration immediately after illumination - DRb rate of dark respiration before illumination - E0 rate of gross oxygen evolution in the light - NET rate of net oxygen evolution in the light - PFR photon fluence rate - RubP rubulose-1,5-bisphosphate - SHAM salicyl hydroxamic acid - U0 rate of gross oxygen uptake in the light  相似文献

The adaptation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Akcent) plants to low (LI, 50 µmol m–2 s–1) and high (HI, 1000 µmol m–2 s–1) growth irradiances was studied using the simultaneous measurements of the photosynthetic oxygen evolution and chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence at room temperature. If measured under ambient CO2 concentration, neither increase of the oxygen evolution rate (P) nor enhancement of non-radiative dissipation of the absorbed excitation energy within photosystem 2 (PS2) (determined as non-photochemical quenching of Chl a fluorescence, NPQ) were observed for HI plants compared with LI plants. Nevertheless, the HI plants exhibited a significantly higher proportion of QA in oxidised state (estimated from photochemical quenching of Chl a fluorescence, qP), by 49–102 % at irradiances above 200 µmol m–2 s–1 and an about 1.5 fold increase of irradiance-saturated PS2 electron transport rate (ETR) as compared to LI plants. At high CO2 concentration the degree of P stimulation was approximately three times higher for HI than for LI plants, and the irradiance-saturated P values at irradiances of 2 440 and 2 900 µmol m–2 s–1 were by 130 and 150 % higher for HI plants than for LI plants. We suggest that non-assimilatory electron transport dominates in the adaptation of the photosynthetic apparatus of barley grown at high irradiances under ambient CO2 rather than an increased NPQ or an enhancement of irradiance-saturated photosynthesis.  相似文献

Changes in photosynthetic pigment ratios showed that the Chlorophyll d-dominated oxyphotobacterium Acaryochloris marina was able to photoacclimate to different light regimes. Chl d per cell were higher in cultures grown under low irradiance and red or green light compared to those found when grown under high white light, but phycocyanin/Chl d and carotenoid/Chl d indices under the corresponding conditions were lower. Chl a, considered an accessory pigment in this organism, decreased respective to Chl d in low irradiance and low intensity non-white light sources. Blue diode PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) fluorometry was able to be used to measure photosynthesis in Acaryochloris. Light response curves for Acaryochloris were created using both PAM and O(2) electrode. A linear relationship was found between electron transport rate (ETR), measured using a PAM fluorometer, and oxygen evolution (net and gross photosynthesis). Gross photosynthesis and ETR were directly proportional to one another. The optimum light for white light (quartz halogen) was about 206+/-51 micromol m(-2) s(-1) (PAR) (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), whereas for red light (red diodes) the optimum light was lower (109+/-27 micromol m(-2) s(-1) (PAR)). The maximum mean gross photosynthetic rate of Acaryochloris was 73+/-7 micromol mg Chl d(-1) h(-1). The gross photosynthesis/respiration ratio (P(g)/R) of Acaryochloris under optimum conditions was about 4.02+/-1.69. The implications of our findings will be discussed in relation to how photosynthesis is regulated in Acaryochloris.  相似文献
