Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv F58-554H1) were cultured hydroponically for 2 weeks in growth chambers with two levels of orthophosphate (Pi) supplied in half strength Hoagland solution. Low-P plants were supplied with 1/20th of the Pi supplied to control plants. With low-P treatment, the acid soluble leaf phosphate and total leaf P decreased by about 88%. Low-P treatment had a much greater effect on leaf area than on photosynthesis. Low-P decreased total leaf area by 76%, dry weight per plant by 60%, and the rate of photosynthesis per area at light saturation by 35%. Low-P treatment significantly decreased the total extractable activity of phosphoglycerate kinase (by 18%) and NADP-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (by 16%), but did not decrease the total activities of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase (RuBPCase) and ribulose-5-phosphate kinase. Low-P treatment decreased the initial activities of three rate-limiting Calvin cycle enzymes, but had no effect on the initial activity of RuBPCase. Furthermore, low-P treatment significantly increased the total extractable activities of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (by 61%), fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (by 53%), and transketolase (by 46%). The results suggest that low-P treatment affected photosynthetic rate through an effect on RuBP regeneration rather than through RuBPCase activity and that the changes in Calvin cycle enzymes with low-P resulted in an increased flow of carbon to starch.  相似文献

Changes in photosynthesis, carbon partitioning, and growth following resupply of orthophosphate (Pi) to moderately P-deficient plants (low-P) were determined for sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv F58-554H1) cultured hydroponically in growth chambers. One set of plants was supplied with 1.0 mM Pi in half-strength Hoagland solution (control plants), and a second set (low-P plants) was supplied with 0.05 mM Pi. At the end of 2 weeks, the low-P plants were resupplied with 1.0 mM Pi. Low-P plants rapidly accumulated large amounts of Pi, and the photosynthesis rate increased to control values within 4 to 6 h. The rate of photosynthesis appeared to be controlled by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP); low P reduced photosynthesis and RuBP levels, and P resupply increased photosynthesis and RuBP in a manner parallel with time. Low-P treatment reduced adenylate levels substantially but not nicotinamide nucleotides; adenylate levels recovered to control values over 3 to 6 h. With low P, more photosynthate is allocated to non-P carbon compounds (e.g. starch, sucrose) than to sugar phosphates. When P is resupplied, sugar phosphates increase as starch and sucrose pools decrease; this increase in leaf (chloroplast) sugar phosphates was most likely responsible for the increases in RuBP and photosynthesis and may have increased adenylate levels (through enhanced levels of ribose-5-phosphate).  相似文献

Phosphate Deficiency in Maize. II. Enzyme Activities   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Low-phosphate (P) treatment decreased photosynthetic rates ofmaize plants (Zea mays L.) by about 50% 18 to 19 days afterplanting [Usuda and Shimogawara (1991) Plant Cell Physiol. 32:497]. Low-P treatment decreased the enzyme activities differentially(by 0-49%). The significance of the decreased activities ofpyruvate.Pj dikinase (by 29%), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(by 49%), and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (by 42%)in the detrimental effects of low-P treatments on the ratesof photosynthesis is discussed.

The effect of low phosphate supply (low P) was determined on the diurnal changes in the rate of carbon export, and on the contents of starch, sucrose, glucose, and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) in leaves. Low-P effects on the activities of a number of enzymes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism were also measured. Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv. F58-554H1) were cultured hydroponically in growth chambers and the low-P treatment induced nutritionally. Low-P treatment decreased carbon export from the leaf much more than it decreased photosynthesis. At growth chamber photon flux density, low P decreased carbon export by 34% in light; in darkness, export rates fell but more so in the control so that the average rate in darkness was higher in low-P leaves. Low P increased starch, sucrose, and glucose contents per leaf area, and decreased F2, 6BP. The total extractable activities of enzymes involved in starch and sucrose synthesis were increased markedly by low P, e.g. adenosine 5-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, cytoplasmic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, uridine 5-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, and sucrose-phosphate synthase. The activities of some enzymes involved in starch and sucrose breakdown were also increased by low P. We propose that plants adapt to low-P environments by increasing the total activities of several phosphatases and by increasing the concentrations of phosphate-free carbon compounds at the expense of sugar phosphates, thereby conserving Pi. The partitioning of carbon among the various carbon pools in low-P adapted leaves appears to be determined in part by the relative capacities of the enzymes for starch and sucrose metabolism.  相似文献

Sugar Beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv F58-554H1) were cultured hydroponically in growth chambers. Leaf orthophosphate (Pi) levels were varied nutritionally. The effect of decreased leaf phosphate (low-P) status was determined on the diurnal changes in the pool sizes of leaf ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA), triose phosphate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, adenylates, nicotinamide nucleotides, and Pi. Except for triose phosphate, low-P treatment caused a marked reduction in the levels of leaf sugar phosphates (on a leaf area basis) throughout the diurnal cycle. Low-P treatment decreased the average leaf RuBP levels by 60 to 69% of control values during the light period. Low-P increased NADPH levels and NADPH/NADP+ ratio but decreased ATP; the ATP/ADP ratio was unaffected. Low P treatment caused a marked reduction in RuBP regeneration (RuBP levels were half the RuBP carboxylase binding site concentration) but did not depress PGA reduction to triose phosphate. These results indicate that photosynthesis in low-P leaves was limited by RuBP regeneration and that RuBP formation in low-P leaves was not limited by the supply of ATP and NADPH. We suggest that RuBP regeneration was limited by the supply of fixed carbon, an increased proportion of which was diverted to starch synthesis.  相似文献

Soybean plants (Glycine max [L.] Merr var Amsoy 71) were grown in growth chambers with high-phosphorus (high-P) and low-phosphorus (low-P) culture solutions. Low-P treatment reduced shoot growth significantly 7 days after treatment began. Root growth was much less affected by low-P, there being no significant reduction in root growth rate until 17 days had elapsed. The results suggest that low-P treatment decreased soybean growth primarily through an effect on the expansion of the leaf surface which was diminished by 85%, the main effect of low-P being on the rate of expansion of individual leaves. Low-P had a lesser effect on photosynthesis; light saturated photosynthetic rates at ambient and saturating CO2 levels were lowered by 55 and 45%, respectively, after 19 days of low-P treatment. Low-P treatment increased starch concentrations in mature leaves, expanding leaves and fibrous roots; sucrose concentrations, however, were reduced by low-P in leaves and increased in roots. Foliar F-2,6-BP levels were not affected by P treatment in the light but in darkness they increased with high-P and decreased with low-P. The increase in the starch/sucrose ratio in low-P leaves was correlated primarily with changes in the total activities of enzymes of starch and sucrose metabolism.  相似文献

Sunflower plants were grown under controlled environmental conditionswith either 0 or 10 mol m–3 phosphate (Pi). From steady-statemeasurements of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence madeon intact leaves, the in vivo CO2/O2 specificity factor (invivo Ksp) of ribulose 1,5-Aisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase(Rubisco) was determined following two methods based on modelsof C3 photosynthesis by Brooks and Farquhar (1985) and Peterson(1989). The two methods gave in vivo Ksp values for controlsunflower leaves which were similar to published values forhigher plants. Extreme Pi deficiency decreased in vivo Ksp,in sunflower leaves compared to adequate Pi. This suggests thatPi deficiency affected photorespiration less than photosynthesis.The decrease in in vivo Ksp may be due to a real change in theenzyme kinetics favouring oxygenation more than carboxylationor due to an increase in the number of CO2 molecules releasedper oxygenation; in which case the observed decrease in thein vivo Ksp determined on intact leaves will not agree numericallywith the true Ksp of Rubisco determined in vitro using purifiedenzyme from the same leaf. We discuss the implications of therelatively large photorespiration in Pi-deficient sunflowerleaves with respect to the increased dissipation of photosyntheticelectrons and photorespiratory recycling of Pi in thechloroplaststroma. Although our results on in vivo Ksp suggested a relativelylarger photorespiratory potential in Pi-deficient than controlsunflower leaves, photosynthesis was insensitive to O2 in Pi-deficientleaves; the possible reasons for this phenomenon are discussed.Under extreme Pi deficiency, O2 sensitivity of photosynthesisis not a reflection of the in vivo photorespiratory rates. Determinationof in vivo Ksp of Rubisco is a useful approach to study thephotorespiratory potential of intact leaves.

The effects of low concentrations of phosphate (low-P) on soluble protein content, the activities of 12 different enzymes, and the rates of photosynthesis and respiration on the basis of leaf area were investigated in maize (Zea mays L.) leaves 16 to 24 days after planting (DAP). With low-P treatment, a drastic decrease in the rate of photosynthesis to only 6% of the maximum rate in control plants was observed by 24 DAP. Low-P treatment had almost no effect on the rate of respiration until 21 DAP, but then the rate of respiration decreased progressively to about 55% of the maximum rate in control plants. The soluble protein content in low-P plants decreased to 56% of the maximum content in control plants. The changes in the activities of enzymes in low-P plants showed several different patterns. The activities of pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, catalase, phosphohexose isomerase, chloroplastic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, and ADP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase decreased steadily from 85 to 100% of the maximum activity found in 18- to 21-day-old control plants (Vmax) to 30 to 70% of Vmax. The activity of sucrose phosphate synthase remained virtually constant at approximately 85 to 100% of Vmax. The activity of UDP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase remained almost constant up to 21 DAP and then decreased to 80% of Vmax by 24 DAP. The activity of cytochrome c oxidase increased slightly up to 21 DAP but then decreased to 50% of Vmax by 24 DAP. As indicated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of soluble proteins, the subunit of PEPC stained less intensely in 24-d-old low-P plants. The possibility is discussed that during low-P treatment there is selective degradation of PEPC without a concomitant degradation of sucrose phosphate synthase, both of which are known to be localized in the cytoplasmic compartment of mesophyll cells.  相似文献

To better understand source-sink interactions, this work focusedon the influence of fruit number on leaf area and photosyntheticactivity in cantaloupe. To this end, flowers were removed over2 years on two Charentais cultivars to obtain single-fruit plantsand plants with an unrestricted fruit load (which set two tofive fruits and constituted control plants). At the whole plantscale, net photosynthesis was reduced by about 30% under highfruit load. At the leaf scale, a submodel of stomatal conductancewas fitted to the data and was included in a rectangular hyperbolamodel of leaf photosynthesis. Maximum leaf net photosynthesisaveraged 14.83 µmol CO2m-2s-1at 1000 µmol quantam-2s-1. Light use efficiency was not affected by fruit loadand equalled 0.040 mol CO2mol-1quanta. Leaf area of plants withunrestricted fruit load decreased after 24 days from pollination,while the leaf area of single-fruit plants was still increasing.The decrease was due to production of fewer new leaves per day,whereas the number of senescent leaves and the size of individualleaves were not affected by the treatment. Under high fruitload, cultivar Galoubet developed a larger projected leaf areathan cultivar Talma. Thus it is concluded that: (1) large cantaloupefruits may divert a large amount of assimilates away from, andgrow at the expense of, the canopy; and (2) photosynthesis ofthe canopy was lowered because leaf area was reduced whereasphotosynthetic rate of leaves was not altered.Copyright 1998Annals of Botany Company.

Agrostis capillaris L.5, Festuca vivipara L. and Poaalpina L.were grown in outdoor open-top chambers at either ambient (340 3µmol mol–1) or elevated (6804µmol mol–1)concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) for periodsfrom 79–189 d. Photosynthetic capacity of source leaves of plants grown atboth ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations was measured atsaturating light and 5% CO2. Dark respiration of leaves wasmeasured using a liquid phase oxygen electrode with the buffersolution in equilibrium with air (21% O2, 0.034% CO2). Photo-syntheticcapacity of P. alpina was reduced by growth at 680 µmolmol–1 CO2 by 105 d, and that of F. vivipara was reducedat 65 d and 189 d after CO2 enrichment began, suggesting down-regulationor acclimation. Dark respiration of successive leaf blades ofall three species was unaltered by growth at 680 relative to340 µmol mol–1 CO2. In F. vivipara, leaf respirationrate was markedly lower at 189 d than at either 0 d or 65 d,irrespective of growth CO2 concentration. There was a significantlylower total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) concentrationin the leaf blades and leaf sheaths of A. capillaris grown at680µmol mol–1 CO2. TNC of roots of A. capillariswas unaltered by CO2 treatment. TNC concentration was increasedin both leaves and sheaths of P. alpina and F. vivipara after105 d and 65 d growth, respectively. A 4-fold increase in thewater-soluble fraction (fructan) in P. alpina and in all carbohydratefractions in F. vivipara accounted for the increased TNC content. In F. vivipara the relationship between leaf photosyn-theticcapacity and leaf carbohydrate concentration was such that therewas a strong positive correlation between photosynthetic capacityand total leaf N concentration (expressed on a per unit structuraldry weight basis), and total nitrogen concentration of successivemature leaves reduced with time. Multiple regression of leafphotosynthetic capacity upon leaf nitrogen and carbohydrateconcentrations further confirmed that leaf photosynthetic capacitywas mainly determined by leaf N concentration. In P. alpina,leaf photosynthetic capacity was mainly determined by leaf CHOconcentration. Thus there is evidence for down-regulation ofphotosynthetic capacity in P. alpina resulting from increasedcarbohydrate accumulation in source leaves. Leaf dark respiration and total N concentration were positivelycorrelated in P. alpina and F. vivipara. Leaf dark respirationand soluble carbohydrate concentration of source leaves werepositively correlated in A. capillaris. Changes in source leafphotosynthetic capacity and carbohydrate concentration of plantsgrown at ambient or elevated CO2 are discussed in relation toplant growth, nutrient relations and availability of sinks forcarbon.

Measurements of the rate of light-saturated photosynthesis (Pmax)were made on terminal leaflets of potato plants growing in cropssupplied with 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 g N m–2. Measurementswere made between 100 and 154 d after planting. Two types ofleaf were selected—the fourth leaf on the second-levelbranch (L4, B1) and the youngest terminal leaflet that was measurable(LYM). Later, the total nitrogen concentration of each leaflet(NL) was measured. A linear regression between Pmax and NL,common to both leaf positions, explained 68.5% of the totalvariation. With L4, B1 leaves there was a significant improvementin the proportion of variation explained when regressions withseparate intercepts and a common slope were fitted to individualfertilizer treatments. These results suggest that an increasingproportion of leaf nitrogen was not associated with the performanceof the photosynthetic system with increasing nitrogen supply.This separation between nitrogen treatments was not as clearfor LYM leaves. Stomatal conductance to transfer of water vapourwas neither influenced by leaf position nor directly by nitrogensupply. Rather conductance declined in parallel with the declinein photosynthetic capacity. Solanum tuberosum, potato, nitrogen, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, leaf  相似文献

Tomato plants were grown in solution culture in a controlledenvironment at 20 ?C with a 12 h photoperiod of 400 µmolquanta m–2 s–1 PAR with either normal ambient CO2,approximately 340 vpm, or with 1000 vpm CO2. The short- andlong-term effects of CO2 enrichment on photosynthesis were determinedtogether with the levels of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase(RuBPco) E.C. 4.1.1.39 [EC] protein and activity throughout leafdevelopment of the unshaded 5th leaf above the cotyledons. Thehigh CO2 concentration during growth did not appreciably affectthe rate of leaf expansion or final leaf area but did increasethe fresh weight per unit area of leaf. With short-term CO2enrichment, i.e. only during the photosynthesis measurements,the light-saturated photosynthetic rate (Pmax) of young leavesdid not increase while those reaching full expansion more thandoubled their net rate of CO2 fixation. However, with longerterm CO2 enrichment, i.e. growing the crop in high CO2, theplants did not maintain this photosynthetic gain. While theCO2 concentration during growth did not affect the peak in Pmaxmeasured in 300 vpm CO2 or Pmax in 1000 vpm CO2, RuBPco proteinor its activity, the subsequent ontogenetic decline in theseparameters was greatly accelerated by the high CO2 treatment.Compared with plants grown in normal ambient CO2 the high CO2grown leaves, when almost fully expanded, contained only approximatelyhalf as much RuBPco protein and Pmax in 300 vpm CO2 and Pmaxin1000 vpm CO2 were similarly reduced. The loss of RuBPco proteinmay be a major factor associated with the accelerated fall inPmax since it was close to that predicted from the amount andkinetics of RuBPco assuming RuBP saturation. In the oldest leavesexamined grown in high CO2 additional factors may be limitingphotosynthesis since RuBPco kinetics marginally overestimatedPmax in 300 vpm CO2 and the initial slope of photosynthesisin response to intercellular CO2 was also less than expectedfrom the extractable RuBPco.

Measurements of microclimate and photosynthesis of lucerne var.Europe were made in the field during the spring of 1976. Themaximum rate of canopy gross photosynthesis (14.3 g CO2 m–2h–1, I = ) was 2.5 times greater than that of S 24 perennialryegrass at the same LAI. This difference was due to differencesin individual leaf photosynthesis. The photosynthetic rate ofthe youngest fully expanded leaf of lucerne remained constantthroughout the experimental period at 3.6 g CO2 m–2 h–1(300 W m–2). Measurements of soil water potential profiles indicated thatlucerne extracted water from the soil to a depth of at least800 mm, with a region of maximum uptake between 400 and 600mm. This capability, with a moderate mean leaf resistance of460 s m–1, conferred a high assimilation efficiency onlucerne, with a mean water use efficiency of 34 g H2O lost pergram of carbohydrate assimilated, compared with 200 g H2O pergram of carbohydrate for S 24.

Compartmental analysis of tracer loss from a leaf after pulse-labellingwith carbon isotopes has often been used to infer the flow ofphotosynthate through the leaf. Recently, a more general approachhas been suggested based upon estimation of the transfer functionusing data from pulse-labelling as well as continuouslabellingexperiments. A comparison of these two approaches shows thatwith the same data set they give equivalent physiological interpretations.The measured decline of 11C activity from a wheat leaf after11CO2 pulse-labelling was extrapolated by compartmental as wellas transfer function analysis. Both methods estimated a 66.4%loss of the initially fixed 11C due to export and respiration.The advantage of transfer function analysis, however, is itsapplicability to continuous-labelling experiments. The modelallows the use of the net photosynthetic rate as the reference(100%) value. Data from continuous-labelling experiments withwheat plants indicate diurnal variations in the export of freshlylabelled assimilate of between 32.7% and 43.6% of net photosynthesis.

Lamaze, T., Sentenac, H. and Grignon, C. 1987. Orthophosphaterelations of root: NO3effects on orthophosphate influx,accumulation and secretion into the xylem.—J. exp. Bot.38: 923–934. Orthophosphate (Pi) accumulation by barley (Hordeum vulgareL.) roots was specifically inhibited by NO3 as comparedto Cl and SO42 –, and Pi secretion into the xylemwas stimulated. The inhibition of Pi accumulation by NO3was also observed in roots of intact photosynthesizing horsebean(Vicia faba L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.) and soybean (Glycinemax L.) plants. NO3 effects on Pi transport by rootswere more thoroughly investigated with corn (Zea mays L.). Theywere due to intracellular NO3. Pi secretion was stillstimulated by NO3 after Pi withdrawal from the absorptionsolution. 32Pi influx decreased during Pi accumulation, supportingthe hypothesis that this ion allosterically regulated its owntransport system by feedback control. This control was modulatedby other anions: the decrease was more pronounced in the presenceof nitrate. Chronologically, the depressive effect of NO3on 32Pi influx appeared after the inhibition of Pi accumulation.Furthermore, under conditions where Pi accumulation was notaffected by NO3, 32Pi influx and Pi secretion into thexylem became insensitive to the presence of nitrate. Our hypothesisis that the stimulative effect of NO3 on Pi secretionand the depressive one on 32Pi influx are the repercussionsof an increase in the Pi cytosolic concentration due to an NO3-induced decrease in Pi uptake by the vacuoles.

Ward, D. A. and Drake, B. G. 1987. Photoinhibition under atmosphericO2, the activation state of RuBP carboxylase and the contentof photosynthetic intermediates in soybean and wheat.—J.exp. Bot. 38: 1937–1948. Associations between photosynthesis, the activation state ofRuBP carboxylase and the contents of photosynthetic intermediateswere compared in soybean and wheat leaves before and after exposureto photoinhibitory treatments in the presence of atmosphericO2. Exposing attached leaves to a supra-saturating irradiance(3 800 µmol quanta m– 2 s–1) for 2 h in CO2-freeair decreased carboxylation efficiency and the light-saturatedphotosynthetic rate in air by approximately 50%. Exposure tothe photoinhibitory treatment for periods in excess of 2 h didnot cause a further decrease of photosynthesis in soybean. Althoughphotosynthesis was reduced, the initial and total (fully-activated)activities of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase)in leaf extracts were unaltered in each species by the photoinhibitorytreatment. This was true for leaves sampled under both air andat a rate-limiting intercellular CO2 partial pressure (Ci) of75 µPa Pa–1. The contents of ribulose l,5-bisphosphate(RuBP) and 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) were reduced by thephotoinhibitory treatment in soybean leaves sampled in air andat a rate-limiting Ci, although the RuBP/3-PGA ratio was unaffected.The relative reduction of RuBP content in soybean leaves atrate-limiting C1 was similar to the corresponding reductionof carboxylation efficiency. For wheat,the relative reductionof RuBP content at rate-limiting Ci (–19%) caused by thephotoinhibitory treatment was considerably less than the correspondingdecrease of carboxylation efficiency (–49%).The RuBP/3-PGAratio of wheat was also increased significantly by the photoinhibitorytreatment The significance of these observations to the regulationof CO2-limited photosynthesis in leaves experiencing photoinhibitionunder atmospheric oxygen is discussed. Consideration is alsogiven to the previous contention that contemporary measurementsof initial activity in crude extracts may provide a spuriousindication of the amount of the enzyme-CO2-Mg2 + form of RuBPcarboxylase present in the leaf.

Rates of photosynthesis (net CO2 uptake in saturating light)of leaves sampled from phosphorusdeficient subterranean cloverplants (Trifolium subterraneum L. cv. Mt. Barker) were lowerthan those of non-deficient leaves. When comparable deficientleaves were placed in solutions containing 0.13 mM Pi1, therewere no responses in photosynthesis, even though earlier resultshad established these solutions as optimal for responses forintact deficient plants. Deficient leaves, placed for the first12 h after detachment in solutions of increasing Pi1 concentrations(0.15, 0.70, 2.0, and 6.0 mM) and then in distilled water, showedmarked increases in photosynthesis in the three higher phosphatetreatments on the first day after detachment. During the following6 d the decline in photosynthesis was less the higher the initialphosphate treatment. By contrast, non-deficient leaves in thesame treatments showed a decline in photosynthesis with increasingphosphate levels, due to leaf damage in the two highest treatments(phosphorus toxicity). Rates of photosynthesis of deficient leaves kept for 3 h in3 or 6 mM FDP1 or G-6-P1 increased within 24 h and remainedhigher than those for corresponding leaves in 0.13 mM Pi ordistilled water. There were no differences between the sametreatments for non-deficient leaves, thus enabling a clear distinctionbetween leaves that were deficient and those that were not.There was no leaf damage in these solutions, even after 48 h.AMP1 or ADP1 had no effect. ATP1 and 3-PGA1 caused toxicitysymptoms. Fructose itself (6 mM) had no effect on photosynthesis.  相似文献

The effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on theecophysiological responses (gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence,Rubisco activity, leaf area development) as well as on the growthand biomass production of two poplar clones (i.e. Populus trichocarpax P. deltoides clone Beaupré and P. x euramericana cloneRobusta) were examined under open top chamber conditions. Theelevated CO2 treatment (ambient + 350 µmol mol-1) stimulatedabove-ground biomass of clones Robusta and Beaupré afterthe first growing season by 55 and 38%, respectively. This increasedbiomass production under elevated CO2 was associated with asignificant increase in plant height, the latter being the resultof enhanced internode elongation rather than an increased productionof leaves or internodes. Both an increased leaf area index (LAI)and a stimulated net photosynthesis per unit leaf contributedto a significantly higher stem biomass per unit leaf area, andthus to the increased above-ground biomass production underthe elevated CO2 concentrations in both clones. The larger LAIwas caused by a larger individual leaf size and leaf growthrate; the number of leaves was not altered by the elevated CO2treatment. The higher net leaf photosynthesis was the resultof an increase in the photochemical (maximal chlorophyll fluorescenceFm and photochemical efficiency Fv/Fm) as well as in the biochemical(increased Rubisco activity) process capacities. No significantdifferences were found in dark respiration rate, neither betweenclones nor between treatments, but specific leaf area significantlydecreased under elevated CO2 conditions.Copyright 1995, 1999Academic Press Biomass, chlorophyll a fluorescence, elevated CO2, growth, Populus, poplar, photosynthesis, respiration, Rubisco  相似文献

Acclimation of fully developed leaves of Bischofia javanicaBlume to shadelight was examined. Seedlings were grown undersimulated daylight (1000 µmol m–2 s–1), thentransferred to a simulated shadelight (40 µmol m–2s–1). When a high-light leaf was transferred to low light, large negativenet photosynthetic rates (Pm) were recorded. This decrease wasrapid, but within 7 d the rate increased and became equal tothe low-light control leaf. These changes in photosynthesisdid not follow the pattern of changes in stomatal conductance(gs). Transfer to the low light resulted in a dramatic decreasein leaf weight per unit area (Lw), and most of the decreasesin Lw occurred within 3 d of transfer when the Pm of the transferredleaf was well below that of the low-light control leaf. There was a significant decrease in chlorophyll a in the transferredleaf without an appreciable change in chlorophyll b resultingin a large decrease in the chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b ratio.Leaf chlorophylls per unit area were higher in the transferredleaf than the low-light control leaf. Maximum photosyntheticrate in the transferred leaf was decreased by 40% compared tothat for the high-control leaf, but was almost at the same extenthigher than the low-light control leaf The results are discussedin the context of carbon gain capacity of its seedlings underlight-limiting forest understorey habitats.

A method incorporating interactive computer graphics to simulatespatially variable interception and canopy photosynthesis isdescribed. The method presents a graphical interface to a conventionalmodel of radiation interception and canopy photosynthesis. Includedis the capacity to consider a large number of positions withinthe canopy, thus providing a rapid and convenient representationof the dynamics of photosynthesis while also overcoming limitationsof one-dimensional models applied to complex plant canopies.The method was applied to examine spatial variability of photosynthesiswithin canopies of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) vines growingon two trellis types. The diurnal integral of simulated canopyphotosynthesis, assuming sunny conditions, for a vine trainedon a horizontal 'Pergola' trellis was 14% higher than that fora vine with similar leaf area distribution trained on a 'T-bar'trellis with inclined surfaces. Simulations of photosynthesisfor vines on a T-bar trellis, assuming spatially variable leafarea distributions as measured under filed conditions, indicateddisproportionate contributions from different regions of thecanopy. Canopy regions inclined to the east or the west wereusually the major sites for photosynthesis immediately aftersunrise and before sunset respectively, while regions near thecordon were the most important overall. For any day, the maximumsimulated photosynthetic rate generally declined with distancefrom the cordon and, at any distance from the cordon, increasedwith leaf index. For a vine with an average leaf area indexof 2·7, diurnal integrals of photosynthesis on a sunnyday in late summer ranged from 1·0 mol CO2 m-2 near thecordon to 0·5 mol CO2 m-2 at 1·5 m from the cordon.Within-canopy shading was more important on sunny days thanon cloudy days, while the spatial distribution of leaf areawas especially important on cloudy days. Comparison of simulationswith direct measurements of canopy photosynthesis indicatedthat a numerical integral of simulated photosynthesis, basedon a large number of canopy positions, provided a reasonableestimate of total canopy photosynthesis.Copyright 1993, 1999Academic Press Actinidia deliciosa, kiwifruit, interactive computer graphics, mathematical modelling, photosynthesis, radiation interception, spatial heterogeneity  相似文献
