Trends in several photosynthetic parameters and their responseto changed growth light were followed for 15 d in leaves ofyoung birch saplings using a rapid-response gas exchange measuringequipment. These in vivo measurements were compared to biochemicalassays that were made from the same leaves after the gas exchangestudies. The measurements were made on leaves that were selectedprior to the study and were at that time of similar age. Forthe first 7 d the photosynthetic parameters were followed fromthe growth conditions of moderate light (200 µmol m–2s–1; referred to as controls later in the text). On day7 some of the saplings were transferred to grow either underhigh (450 µmol m–2 s–1; referred to as highlight plants) or low (75 µmol m–2 s–1; referredto as low light plants) light and the capability of the preselectedleaves for acclimation was followed for 6 d. For comparison,at the end of the experiment the measurements were made on bothcontrols and on young leaves that had developed under high andlow light. Generally the in vivo measured rate of CO2 uptake (gross photosynthesis)both at 310 ppm CO2 and 2000 ppm CO2 corresponded very wellto the biochemically determined CO2 fixation capacity in vitroafter rapid extraction (measured as the initial and total activityof Rubisco, respectively). However, if the flux of CO2 intothe chloroplasts was limited by the closure of the stomata,as was the case of the high light plants, then the in vitromeasured Rubisco activity was greater than the in vivo measuredCO2 uptake. Vmax, calculated from the mesophyll conductanceat 1% O2, exceeded the initial activity of Rubisco (assayedat saturating RuBP and CO2) constantly by 60%. The catalyticactivity of Rubisco in birch leaves was overall very low, evenwhen calculated from the total activity of Rubisco (Kcat 0.63–1.18 s–1), when compared to herbaceous C3 species. Signs of light acclimation were not observed in most of thephotosynthetic parameters and in chloroplast structure whenmature birch leaves were subjected to changes in growth lightfor 6 d. However, the change of the growth light either to highor low light caused day-to-day fluctuations in most of the measuredphotosynthetic parameters and in the case of the high lightplants signs of photoinhibition and photodestruction were alsoobserved (decrease in the amount of chlorophyll and increasein chlorophyll a/b ratio). As a result of these fluctuationsthese plants achieved a new and lower steady-state conditionbetween the light and dark reactions, as judged from the molarratio of RuBP to Rubisco binding site.

Sensitivity to photoinhibition was assessed in sorghum infectedwith the angiosperm root parasite Striga her-monthica and inuninfected sorghum plants, at four times during the developmentof the host-parasite association. Photoinhibition was inducedby exposing either leaf discs or intact leaves to a photosyntheticphoton flux density of 2000 µmol m–2 s–1 for4 h. The inhibition of apparent quantum yield (a) and photosynthesisin high light (A1500) were assessed in leaf discs using an oxygenelectrode and the recovery of these from photoinhibition wasfollowed in intact leaves using an infra-red gas analyser. Fromsoon after attachment of the parasite, infected sorghum plantshad a lower A1500. During the period when Striga induced a loweringof A1500, a was more sensitive to photoinhibition in Striga-infectedplants. However, at the same time, the high-light-induced inhibitionof A1500 was similar in Striga-infected and uninfected plants.Recovery of both a and A1500 was incomplete after 6 h and thetime-course of recovery was similar in Striga-infected and uninfectedplants. The results indicate that Striga-infected plants weremore sensitive to photoinhibition and that photoinhibition wasprimarily due to damage to electron transport/photo-phosphorylationand not disablement of the recovery processes.

Chlorella vulgaris 11h cells grown in air enriched with 4% CO2(high-CO2 cells) had carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity whichwas 20 to 90 times lower than that of algal cells grown in ordinaryair (containing 0.04% CO2, low-CO2 cells). The CO2 concentrationduring growth did not affect either ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate(RuBP) carboxylase activity or its Km for CO2. When high-CO2 cells were transferred to low CO2 conditions,CA activity increased without a lag period, and this increasewas accompanied by an increase in the rate of photosynthetic14CO2 fixation under 14CO2-limiting conditions. On the otherhand, CA activity as well as the rate of photosynthetic 14CO2fixation at low 14CO2 concentrations decreased when low-CO2cells were transferred to high CO2 conditions. Diamox, an inhibitor of CA, at 0.1 mM did not affect photosynthesisof low-CO2 cells at high CO2 concentration (0.5%). Diamox inhibitedphotosynthesis only under low CO2 concentrations, and the lowerthe CO2 concentration, the greater was the inhibition. Consequently,the CO2 concentration at which the rate of photosynthesis attainedone-half its maximum rate (Km) greatly increased in the presenceof this inhibitor. When CO2 concentration was higher than 1%, the photosyntheticrate in low-CO2 cells decreased, while that in high-CO2 cellsincreased. Fractionation of the low-CO2 cells in non-aqueous medium bydensity showed that CA was fractionated in a manner similarto the distribution of chlorophyll and RuBP carboxylase. These observations indicate that CA enhances photosynthesisunder CO2-limiting conditions, but inhibits it at CO2 concentrationshigher than a certain level. The mechanism underlying the aboveregulatory functions of CA is discussed. 1This work was reported at the International Symposium on PhotosyntheticCO2-Assimilation and Photorespiration, Sofia, August, 1977 (18).Requests for reprints should be addressed to S.

Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC. 4.2.1.1 [EC] ) activity in air-grown Characorallina was detected mainly in the intracellular fraction,most of which composed of chloroplasts and cytoplasmic gel,and not on the cell surface. Only minor levels of CA activity,on the basis of equivalent volumes, were detected in the cellsap and the cytoplasmic sol. The maximum rate of photosynthetic O2 evolution by air-grownChara corallina at pH 6.0 was twice that at pH 7.6, while theapparent Km for external inorganic carbon (Ci) at pH 7.6 wasabout three times that at pH 6.0. However, the apparent Km(CO2)was about three times larger at pH 6.0 than at pH 7.6. The Km(Ci)-valueat pH 7.6 increased severalfold in the presence of acetazolamide(AZA), an inhibitor of CA, but no inhibition was observed atpH 6.0. The pH-dependence may be due to differences in the permeabilityof AZA at the given pH values. Fixation of 14CO2 at 20 µMand of H14CO3 at 200 µM over the course of 5 swas very similar at pH 7.4. Addition of CA significantly suppressedthe photosynthetic 14CO2-fixation but it stimulated the H14CO3-fixation.This result indicates that free CO2 is an active species ofCi that is incorporated into the cell during photosynthesis. These results together suggest the following: (1) Free CO2 isutilized for photosynthesis, (2) CA is mainly located insidethe cell and functions to increase the affinity for CO2 in photosynthesisby facilitating the supply of CO2 from the plasmalemma to thesite of CO2-fixation. 3Present address: Biological Laboratory, The University of theAir, Wakaba 2-11, Chiba, 260 Japan.

Sodium chloride, at a concentration of 88 mol m-3in half strengthHoagland nutrient solution, increased dry weight per unit areaofXanthium strumarium L. leaves by 19%, and chlorophyll by 45%compared to plants grown without added NaCl at ambient (350µmol mol-1) CO2concentration. Photosynthesis, per unitleaf area, was almost unaffected. Even so, over a 4-week period,growth (dry weight increment) was reduced in the salt treatmentby 50%. This could be ascribed to a large reduction in leafarea (>60%) and to an approx. 20% increase in the rate ofdark respiration (Rd). Raising ambient [CO2] from zero to 2000 µmol mol-1decreasedRd in both control and salinized plants (by 20% at 1000, andby 50% at 2000 µmol mol-1CO2concentration) compared toRd in the absence of ambient CO2. High night-time [CO2] hadno significant effect on growth of non-salinized plants, irrespectiveof day-time ambient [CO2]. Growth reduction caused by salt wasreduced from 51% in plants grown in 350 µmol mol-1throughoutthe day, to 31% in those grown continuously in 900 µmolmol-1[CO2]. The effect of [CO2] at night on salinized plants depended onthe daytime CO2concentration. Under 350 µmol mol-1day-time[CO2], 900 µmol mol-1at night reduced growth over a 4-weekperiod by 9% (P <0.05) and 1700 µmol mol-1reduced itby 14% (P <0.01). However, under 900 µmol mol-1day-time[CO2], 900vs . 350 µmol mol-1[CO2] at night increasedgrowth by 17% (P <0.01). It is concluded that there is both a functional and an otiose(functionless) component to Rd, which is increased by salt.Under conditions of low photosynthesis (such as here, in thelow day-time [CO2] regime) the otiose component is small andhigh night-time [CO2] partly suppresses functional Rd, therebyreducing salt tolerance. In plants growing under conditionswhich stimulate photosynthesis (e.g. with increased daytime[CO2]), elevated [CO2] at night suppresses mainly the otiosecomponent of respiration, thus increasing growth. Consequently,in regions of adequate water and sunlight, the predicted furtherelevation of the world atmospheric [CO2] may increase plantsalinity tolerance.

Diurnal series of fluorescence and photosynthesis assays wereconducted in high altitude (3803 m), tropical (16°), LakeTiticaca (Peru/Bolivia). Near-surface diurnal thermoclines formedon typical days of high photon flux density (PFD, {small tilde}2000 µE m–2 s–1). In the depth range of diurnalstratification profiles of in vivo fluorescence, both without(Fa and with (Fb DCMU, exhibited a mean decrease of 64% frommorning to mid-day, but little change (mean increase of 1.5%)through the afternoon. Three times during the day surface, mid-depth(3–5 m) and deep (15–20 m) phytoplankton sampleswere incubated with H14CO3 under short (<2 h) exposuresto a range of in situ PFDs. Comparison of phytoplankton in differentsamples (ANOVA) showed identical photosynthetic response insunrise (isothermal) samples but a significant drop in surfaceand mid-depth photosynthesis at all PFDs during times of diurnalstratification. Similarly, both low-light () and light-saturated(P2 max photosynthetic parameters were lower in mid-day surfacesamples compared to deep samples. In addition, previously photoinhibitedsamples had a higher threshold intensity for photoinhibition,IT. These results, together with diurnal time series of fluorescencefrom in situ incubations, demonstrate that recovery from extendedepisodes of photoinhibition during diurnal stratification isslower than suggested by previous observations in vitro. Photosynthesisby near-surface phytoplankton is different in light increasingup to IT than light decreasing from IT. This effect can be modeledby reducing and Pmax as a function of the maximum photoinhibitingPFD in the diurnal light history. 1Present address: Division of Molecular Plant Biology, Universityof California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA  相似文献

Net photosynthetic rates per unit ground area for plant standsof Solanum melongena L. var. esculentum (aubergine) and Amaranthuscaudatus L. var. edulis (grain amaranth) were measured over10 min intervals in an airtight, glass, controlled-environmentcabinet for a range of light flux densities provided by thediurnal variation in daylight. Light response curves for photosynthesisof stands, grown at ambient CO2 concentration, were definedat 400, 800 and 1200 vpm CO2. Light compensation points for these stands were around 20-30J m-2 s-1 and decreased slightly at higher CO2 concentrations.For aubergine, a C3 species, the short-term effects of CO2 enrichmentwere to increase the initial slope as well as the asymptoteof the light response curve, reducing light saturation at moderateto high light flux densities; but for amaranthus, a C4 species,saturation was less apparent and CO2 enrichment scarcely increasedphotosynthesis except at light flux densities above 150 J m-2s-1. The canopies intercepted 93-98% of incident light. The efficiencyof utilization of intercepted light in photosynthesis (µgCO2 J-1) increased from zero at the light compensation pointto a maximum at an optimum light flux density of about 100 Jm-2 s-1 (the optimum rose a little with CO2 enrichment) anddecreased slightly with further increase in light. Maximum utilizationefficiencies at 400 vpm CO2 were 8-9 µg CO2 J-1. Enrichmentto 1200 vpm did not affect the peak utilization efficiency ofthe C4 amaranthus, but increased that aubergine to 12·2µg CO2 J-1 (equivalent to some 14% when using the heatof combustion of plant dry matter to convert to the dimensionlessform). This is among the highest recorded efficiencies of lightutilization for stands, and relates to the exceptionally favourableenvironment, with optimal control of CO2 concentration, humidity,temperature, water supply and mineral nutrition.Copyright 1993,1999 Academic Press Amaranthus caudatus L. var. edulis, Solanum melongena L. var. esculentum, canopy photosynthesis, CO2 enrichment, light interception, light utilization, photosynthetic efficiency  相似文献

Time courses of photosynthetic 14CO2 fixation and its simulationare presented for Chlorella cells grown under low CO2 concentration(low-CO2 cells) and subsequently exposed to 0.2 mM NaH14CO3or 130 ppm 14CO2 in the presence or absence of carbonic anhydrase(CA) in the suspending medium. It was shown that Chlorella cells utilized only free CO2 whenNaHCO3 was given in the presence or absence of CA, or when CO2was bubbled in the absence of CA. However, the present simulationindicated that both CO3 and HCO3 were utilized when CO2was given in the presence of CA. Based on these results, weconcluded that 1) Chlorella cells absorb only free CO2 and 2)this gas is provided to algal cells in two ways, i.e., by directand indirect CO2 supply. Usually, the dissolved CO2 is directlyutilized by the algal cells (direct supply of CO2). However,when the concentration of dissolved CO2 is extremely low andwhen there is CA, CO2 reconverted from HCO3 is also utilizedby Chlorella cells (indirect supply of CO2). The utilizationof HCO3 indicated by the above simulation was explainedby the indirect supply of CO2. We further assumed that the indirectsupply of CO2 to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase occursmainly in the chloroplasts of low-CO2 cells containing highCA. Thus, under low CO2 concentrations, low-CO2 cells can carryout more efficient CO2 fixation than high-CO2 cells, resultingin the lower apparent Km(CO2). 3Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Niigata University,Niigata, Japan.

Pascopyrum smithii (C3) andBouteloua gracilis (C4) are importantforage grasses native to the Colorado shortgrass steppe. Thisstudy investigated photosynthetic responses of these grassesto long-term CO2enrichment and temperature in relation to leafnonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) and [N]. Glasshouse-grown seedlingswere transferred to growth chambers and grown for 49 d at twoCO2concentrations (380 and 750 µmol mol-1) at 20 and 35°C, and two additional temperatures (25 and 30 °C) at750 µmol mol-1CO2. Leaf CO2exchange rate (CER) was measuredat a plant's respective growth temperature and at two CO2concentrationsof approx. 380 and 700 µmol mol-1. Long-term CO2enrichmentstimulated CER in both species, although the response was greaterin the C3,P. smithii . Doubling the [CO2] from 380 to 750 µmolmol-1stimulated CER ofP. smithii slightly more in plants grownand measured at 30 °C compared to plants grown at 20, 25or 35 °C. CO2-enriched plants sometimes exhibited lowerCER when compared to ambient-grown controls measured at thesame [CO2], indicating photosynthetic acclimation to CO2growthregime. InP. smithii , such reductions in CER were associatedwith increases in TNC and specific leaf mass, reductions inleaf [N] and, in one instance, a reduction in leaf conductancecompared to controls. InB. gracilis , photosynthetic acclimationwas observed more often, but significant changes in leaf metabolitelevels from growth at different [CO2] were generally less evident.Temperatures considered optimal for growth (C3: 20 °C; C4:35 °C) sometimes led to CO2-induced accumulations of TNCin both species, with starch accumulating in the leaves of bothspecies, and fructans accumulating only inP. smithii. Photosynthesisof both species is likely to be enhanced in future CO2-enrichedand warmer environments, although responses will sometimes beattenuated by acclimation.

Red beech (Nothofagus fusca (Hook. F.) Oerst.; Fagaceae) andradiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don; Pinaceae) were grown for16 months in large open-top chambers at ambient (37 Pa) andelevated (66 Pa) atmospheric partial pressure of CO2, and incontrol plots (no chamber). Summer-time measurements showedthat photosynthetic capacity was similar at elevated CO2 (lightand CO2-saturated value of 17.2 µmol m–2 s–1for beech, 13.5 µmol m–2 s–1 for pine), plantsgrown at ambient CO2 (beech 21.0 µmol–2 s–1,pine 14.9 µmol m–2s–1) or control plants grownwithout chambers (beech 23.2 µmol m–2 s–1,pine 12.9 µmol m–2 s–1). However, the higherCO2 partial pressure had a direct effect on photosynthetic rate,such that under their respective growth conditions, photosynthesisfor the elevated CO2 treatment (measured at 70 Pa CO2 partialpressure: beech 14.1 µmol m–2 s–1 pine 10.3)was greater than in ambient (measured at 35 Pa CO2: beech 9.7µmol m–2 s–1, pine 7.0 µmol m–2s–1) or control plants (beech 10.8 µmol m–2s–1, pine 7.2 µmol m–2 s–1). Measurementsof chlorophyll fluorescence revealed no evidence of photodamagein any treatment for either species. The quantity of the photoprotectivexanthophyll cycle pigments and their degree of de-epoxidationat midday did not differ among treatments for either species.The photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (yield) was lowerin control plants than in chamber-grown plants, and was higherin chamber plants at ambient than at elevated CO2. These resultssuggest that at lower (ambient) CO2 partial pressure, beechplants may have dissipated excess energy by a mechanism thatdoes not involve the xanthophyll cycle pigments.

Well-nodulated soya bean (Glycine max L.) plants were allowedto assimilate 13CO2 for 10 h in the light, under steady-stateconditions in which CO2 concentration and 13C abundance wereboth strictly controlled at constant levels. The respiratoryevolution of 13CO2 from roots and nodules and 13C incorporationinto various metabolic fractions were measured during the 13CO2feeding and subsequent 48 h chase period. CO2 respired from nodules was much more rapidly labelled with13C than that from roots. The level of labelling (percentageof carbon currently assimilated during the 13COM2 feeding period)of CO2 respired from nodules reached a maximum of about 87 percent after 4 h of steady-state l3CO2 assimilation and thereafterremained fairly constant. The absolute amount of labelled carbonevolved by the respiration of the nodules during the 10 h 13CO2feeding period was 1·5-fold that of root respiration.These results demonstrated that the currently assimilated (labelled)carbon was preferentially used to support nodule respiration,while root respiration relied considerably on earlier (non-labelled)carbon reserved in the roots. Sucrose pools were mostly composed of currently assimilatedcarbon in all tissues of the plants, since the levels of labellingaccounted for 86–91 per cent at the end of the 13CO2 feeding.In the nodules, the kinetics and levels of sucrose labellingwere in fairly good agreement with those of respired CO2, whilein the roots, the level of labelling of respired CO2 was significantlylower than that of sucrose. Succinate and malate were highly labelled in both roots andnodules but they were labelled much more slowly than sucroseand respired CO2. The kinetics and levels of labelling of theseKrebs cycle intermediates resembled those of major amino acidswhich are derived directly from Krebs cycle intermediates. Itis suggested that large fractions of organic acids in noduleswere physically separate from the respiration site.

Two common tallgrass prairie species, Andropogon gerardii, thedominant C4 grass in this North American grassland, and Salviapitcheri, a C3 forb, were exposed to ambient and elevated (twiceambient) CO2 within open-top chambers throughout the 1993 growingseason. After full canopy development, stomatal density on abaxialand adaxial surfaces, guard cell length and specific leaf mass(SLM; mg cm-2) were determined for plants in the chambers aswell as in adjacent unchambered plots. Record high rainfallamounts during the 1993 growing season minimized water stressin these plants (leaf xylem pressure potential was usually >-1·5 MPa in A. gerardii) and also minimized differencesin water status among treatments. In A. gerardii, stomatal densitywas significantly higher (190 ± 7 mm-2; mean ±s.e.) in plants grown outside of the chambers compared to plantsthat developed inside the ambient CO2 chambers (161 ±5 mm-2). Thus, there was a significant 'chamber effect' on stomataldensity. At elevated levels of CO2, stomatal density was evenlower (P < 0·05; 121 ± 5 mm-2). Most stomatawere on abaxial leaf surfaces in this grass, but the ratio ofadaxial to abaxial stomatal density was greater at elevatedlevels of CO2. In S. pitcheri, stomatal density was also significantlylower when plants were grown in the open-top chambers (235 ±10 mm-2 outside vs. 140 ± 6 mm-2 in the ambient CO2 chamber).However, stomatal density was greater at elevated CO2 (218 ±12 mm-2) compared to plants from the ambient CO2 chamber. Theratio of stomata on adaxial vs. abaxial surfaces did not varysignificantly in this herb. Guard cell lengths were not significantlyaffected by growth in the chambers or by elevated CO2 for eitherspecies. Growth within the chambers resulted in lower SLM inS. pitcheri, but CO2 concentration had no effect. In A. gerardii,SLM was lower at elevated CO2. These results indicate that stomataland leaf responses to elevated CO2 are species specific, andreinforce the need to assess chamber effects along with treatmenteffects (CO2) when using open-top chambers.Copyright 1994, 1999Academic Press Andropogon gerardii, elevated CO2, Salvia pitcheri, stomatal density, tallgrass prairie  相似文献

5-Aminolevulinate accumulation in the presence of levulinatewas followed in greening Chlorella protothecoides cells. Underthe CO2-free condition, ALA formation was severely inhibitedby 20 W/m2 white light. The inhibition was removed by CMU. Combinedaddition of CMU with N, N'-tetramethyl phenylenediamine plusascorbate again caused photoinhibition of ALA formation, whilethe addition of CMU with dithiothreitol caused severe inhibitionof ALA formation in both light and darkness. Exogenous glucose enhanced ALA formation in darkened algal celb,but not in photo- and DTT-inhibited cells. In either case, glucoseseemed to be metabolized mainly by the algal cells through theglycolysis-citric acid system. It was inferred that ALA formationwas suppressed at the site of, or related to, an enzyme reactionforming ALA. (Received June 27, 1979; )  相似文献

The rate of net photosynthesis (P) of whole plant stands oftomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), cucumber (Cucumis sativusL.) and sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) was measured in sixlong-term experiments in large greenhouses under normal operatingconditions and CO2-concentrations between 200 and 1200 µmolmol-1. The objective was to quantify the responses to lightand carbon dioxide and to obtain data sets for testing simulationmodels. The method of measuring canopy photosynthesis involvedan accurate estimation of the greenhouse CO2 balance, usingnitrous oxide (N2O) as tracer gas to determine, on-line, theexchange rate between greenhouse and outside air. The estimatedrelative error in the observed P was about ± 10%, exceptthat higher relative errors could occur under particular conditions. A regression equation relating P to the photosynthetically activeradiation, the CO2 concentration and the leaf area index explained83-91% of the variance. The main canopy photosynthesis characteristicscalculated with the fitted regression equations were: canopyPmax 5-9 g m-2 h-1 CO2 uptake; ratio Pmax/LAI 1·5-3 gm-2 h-1; light compensation point 32-86 µmol s-1 m-2;light use efficiency (quantum yield) at low light 0·06-0·10µmol µmol-1 and CO2 compensation point 18-54 µmolmol-1. The results were related to the prevailing conditions.Copyright1994, 1999 Academic Press Canopy photosynthesis, Capsicum annuum L., carbon dioxide, CO2, CO2 balance, CO2 use efficiency, cucumber, Cucumis sativus L., glasshouse, greenhouse, light use efficiency, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., sweet pepper, tomato, tracer gas  相似文献

Photosynthetic rates of outdoor-grown soybean (Glycine max L.Merr. cv. Bragg) canopies increased with increasing CO2 concentrationduring growth, before and after canopy closure (complete lightinterception), when measured over a wide range of solar irradiancevalues. Total canopy leaf area was greater as the CO2 concentrationduring growth was increased from 160 to 990 mm3 dm–3.Photosynthetic rates of canopies grown at 330 and 660 mm3 CO2dm–3 were similar when measured at the same CO2 concentrationsand high irradiance. There was no difference in ribulose bisphosphatecarboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) activity or ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate(RuBP) concentration between plants grown at the two CO2 concentrations.However, photosynthetic rates averaged 87% greater for the canopiesgrown and measured at 660 mm3 CO2 dm–3. A 10°C differencein air temperature during growth resulted in only a 4°Cleaf temperature difference, which was insufficient to changethe photosynthetic rate or rubisco activity in canopies grownand measured at either 330 or 660 mm3 CO2 dm–3. RuBP concentrationsdecreased as air temperature during growth was increased atboth CO2 concentrations. These data indicate that the increasedphotosynthetic rates of soybean canopies at elevated CO2 aredue to several factors, including: more rapid development ofthe leaf area index; a reduction in substrate CO2 limitation;and no downward acclimation in photosynthetic capacity, as occurin some other species.

Rates of CO2 and HCC3 fixation in cells of various Chlorellaspecies in suspension were compared from the amounts of 14Cfixed during the 5 s after the injection of a solution containingonly 14CO2 or H14CO3. Results indicated that irrespectiveof the CO2 concentration during growth, Chlorella vulgaris 11h and C. miniata mainly utilized CO2, whereas C. vulgaris C-3,C. sp. K. and C. ellipsoidea took up HCO3 in additionto CO2. Cells of C. pyrenoidosa that had been grown with 1.5%CO2 (high-CO2 cells) mainly utilized CO2, whereas those grownwith air (low-CO2 cells) utilized HCO3 in addition toCO2. Cells that utilized HCO3 had carbonic anhydrase(CA) on their surfaces. The effects of Diamox and CA on the rates of CO2 and HCO3fixation are in accord with the inference that HCO3 wasutilized after conversion to CO2 via the CA located on the cellsurface. CA was found in both the soluble and insoluble fractions;the CA on the cell surface was insoluble. Independent of the modes of utilization, the apparent Km (NaHCO3)for photosynthesis was much lower in low-CO2 cells than in high-CO2ones. The fact that the CA in the soluble fraction in C. vulgarisC-3 was closely correlated with the Km(NaHCO3) indicates thatsoluble CA lowers the Km. 1 Dedicated to the late Professor Joji Ashida, one of the foundersand first president of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists. 4 On leave from Research and Production Laboratory of Algology,Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia.

Lehnherr, B. M?chler, F. and N?sberger, J. 1985. Effect of CO2concentration during growth on a CO2 concentrating mechanismin white clover as predicted from differential 14CO2/12CO2 uptake.-J. exp. Bot. 36: 1835-1841. White clover was grown at 20 and100 Pa p(CO2). The CO2 response of net photosynthesis and differentialuptake of 14CO2 and 12CO2 by leaves were measured at varioustemperatures and at various O2 and CO2 partial pressures andcompared with predictions from ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenasekinetics. Discrepancies between the observed gas exchange characteristicsfor the leaves and those predicted from the enzyme kineticswere interpreted as being due to a CO2 concentrating mechanism.Plants grown at 20 Pa p(CO2) showed a higher affinity for CO2than plants grown at 100 Pa p(CO2) when measured at 10 ?C. Nodifference in affinity was found at 30 ?C. The postulated CO2concentrating effect was greater in plants grown at low CO2than in plants grown at high CO2 concentration and occurredonly at low temperature and low CO2 partial pressure. It issuggested that plants grown at the lower CO2 partial pressurehave a higher affinity for CO2 due to a more efficient CO2 concentratingsystem than plants grown at the higher CO2 partial pressure.

Cells grown with 3% CO2 exhibitedlow rates of O2 evolution at low external inorganic C; however,after 30 min in air O2 evolution rates at low inorganic C approachedthose of air-grown cells. These results are compatible withthe view that Scenedesmus develops a ‘CO2 concentratingmechanism’ in air, with carbonic anhydrase as an importantconstituent When 3% CO2-grown cells were subjected to air-level of CO2,just a transient decline in NO3 utilization was observed,but in the presence of acetazolamide the rate of the processdecreased drastically in response to the decrease in the CO2level. In CO2-free air NO3 was taken up at high ratesbut in a deregulated manner, leading to release of NH4+. A portionof the NO3 taken up in the absence of CO2 was apparentlyassimilated Cellular nitrate reductase (NR) activity initially decreasedbut subsequently recovered after a transition from 3% CO2 toair. In the presence of acetazolamide, a persistent decreasein NR activity was observed. Cellular glutamine synthetase (GS)activity increased after transition from 3% CO2 to air, theactivity increase being unaffected by acetazolamide. NH4+ releaseto the medium in the presence of L-methionine-D, L-sulphoximine(MSO) transiently increased in 3% CO2-grown cells in responseto a transfer to air. MSO-induced NH4+ release was in fact higherin air-grown cells than in 3% CO2-grown cells. Glycollate wasinitially released after transition from 3% CO2 to air, butthere was no difference in glycollate release between MSO-treatedand untreated cells. In air-adapted Scenedesmus, N recyclingseems to be of minor importance in comparison to primary N assimilation Key words: CO2-fixation, N recycling, nitrate uptake, Scenedesmus  相似文献

Physiology and Growth of Wheat Across a Subambient Carbon Dioxide Gradient   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Two cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), 'Yaqui 54' and'Seri M82', were grown along a gradient of daytime carbon dioxideconcentrations ([CO2]) from near 350-200 µmol CO2 mol-1air in a 38 m long controlled environment chamber. Carbon dioxidefluxes and evapotranspiration were measured for stands (plantsand soil) in five consecutive 7·6-m lengths of the chamberto determined potential effects of the glacial/interglacialincrease in atmospheric [CO2] on C3 plants. Growth rates andleaf areas of individual plants and net assimilation per unitleaf area and daily (24-h) net CO2 accumulation of wheat standsrose with increasing [CO2]. Daytime net assimilation (PD, mmolCO2 m-2 soil surface area) and water use efficiency of wheatstands increased and the daily total of photosynthetic photonflux density required by stands for positive CO2 accumulation(light compensation point) declined at higher [CO2]. Nighttimerespiration (RN, mmol CO2 m-2 soil surface) of wheat, measuredat 369-397 µmol mol-1 CO2, apparently was not alteredby growth at different daytime [CO2], but RN /PD of stands declinedlinearly as daytime [CO2] and PD increased. The responses ofwheat to [CO2], if representative of other C3 species, suggestthat the 75-100% increase in [CO2] since glaciation and the30% increase since 1800 reduced the minimum light and waterrequirements for growth and increased the productivity of C3plants.Copyright 1993, 1999 Academic Press Atmospheric carbon dioxide, carbon accumulation, evapotranspiration, light compensation point, net assimilation, respiration, Triticum aestivum, water use efficiency, wheat  相似文献

To study the effect of chronically elevated CO2 on the excitability and function of neurons, we exposed mice to 7.5–8% CO2 for 2 wk (starting at 2 days of age) and examined the properties of freshly dissociated hippocampal neurons. Neurons from control mice (CON) and from mice exposed to chronically elevated CO2 had similar resting membrane potentials and input resistances. CO2-exposed neurons, however, had a lower rheobase and a higher Na+ current density (580 ± 73 pA/pF; n = 27 neurons studied) than did CON neurons (280 ± 51 pA/pF, n = 34; P < 0.01). In addition, the conductance-voltage curve was shifted in a more negative direction in CO2-exposed than in CON neurons (midpoint of the curve was –46 ± 3 mV for CO2 exposed and –34 ± 3 mV for CON, P < 0.01), while the steady-state inactivation curve was shifted in a more positive direction in CO2-exposed than in CON neurons (midpoint of the curve was –59 ± 2 mV for CO2 exposed and –68 ± 3 mV for CON, P < 0.01). The time constant for deactivation at –100 mV was much smaller in CO2-exposed than in CON neurons (0.8 ± 0.1 ms for CO2 exposed and 1.9 ± 0.3 ms for CON, P < 0.01). Immunoblotting for Na+ channel proteins (subtypes I, II, and III) was performed on the hippocampus. Our data indicate that Na+ channel subtype I, rather than subtype II or III, was significantly increased (43%, n = 4; P < 0.05) in the hippocampi of CO2-exposed mice. We conclude that in mice exposed to elevated CO2, 1) increased neuronal excitability is due to alterations in Na+ current and Na+ channel characteristics, and 2) the upregulation of Na+ channel subtype I contributes, at least in part, to the increase in Na+ current density. sodium ion channels; oxygen deprivation  相似文献
