Application of earlier proposed ontogenetic approach to assessment of chufa (Cyperus esculentus L.) response to artificial-light culture growing conditions differing in illuminance and type of mineral nutrition is described. It was shown that, on biological soil-like substrate, plant productivity did not increase as a result of PAR level rising, and life time of chufa leaves was reduced to 11 days as compared with 18 days on the neutral substrate. Changes in the parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence induction (F v/F m, Yield = (F mF t)/F m, and ETR = 0.5 × 0.84 × Yield × PAR) analyzed on the basis of ontogenetic approach show that it can disclose nonoptimal culture conditions.  相似文献

We examined the effect of growth temperature on the underlying components of growth in a range of inherently fast‐ and slow‐growing plant species. Plants were grown hydroponically at constant 18, 23 and 28 °C. Growth analysis was conducted on 16 contrasting plant species, with whole plant gas exchange being performed on six of the 16 species. Inter‐specific variations in specific leaf area (SLA) were important in determining variations in relative growth rate (RGR) amongst the species at 23 and 28 °C but were not related to variations in RGR at 18 °C. When grown at 18 °C, net assimilation rate (NAR) became more important than SLA for explaining variations in RGR. Variations in whole shoot photosynthesis and carbon concentration could not explain the importance of NAR in determining RGR at the lower temperatures. Rather, variations in the degree to which whole plant respiration per unit leaf area acclimated to the different growth temperatures were responsible. Plants grown at 28 °C used a greater proportion of their daily fixed carbon in respiration than did the 18 and 23 °C‐grown plants. It is concluded that the relative importance of the underlying components of growth are influenced by growth temperature, and the degree of acclimation of respiration is of central importance to the greater role played by NAR in determining variations in RGR at declining growth temperatures.  相似文献

Greenhouse-grown susceptible 20-d-old seedlings of Theobroma cacao genotypes Catongo and tolerant genotype SCA6xCatongo were inoculated with a mixture of isolates of Crinipellis perniciosa, the causal agent of witches' broom. The characteristics of chlorophyll a fluorescence emission were monitored during leaf ontogeny using a portable system PAM-2000. In both inoculated and non-inoculated genotypes, significant differences were found for the effective quantum yield values of photosystem (PS) 2 (F/Fm') at the B (7 to 14-d-old), D (21 to 30-d-old), and E (>30-d-old) stages of leaf development, and in quantum yield of the non-cyclic photosynthetic electron transport between PS2 and PS1 [qp(Fv/Fm)] and quencher efficiency [(Fm-Ft)/F0] at the B, C (15 to 20-d-old) and D stages. Intergenotypic differences were found only for the [qp(Fv/Fm)] and [(Fm-Ft)/F0] values at the E stage, and for fluorescence quenching (Fm-Ft) at the B and E stages. Highly significant inter- and intragenotype relationships were found between the rate of photosynthetic electron transport to PS2 (Amax) and maximum fluorescence during actinic irradiation (Fm'). Also, each of the highly significant relationships between (Fm-Ft) and Amax, [(Fm-Ft)/F0] and F/Fm', and between [(Fm-Ft)/F0] and Amax were represented by a general model, independent of treatments. Therefore, alterations in energy distribution in the radiant energy collector complex interior of PS2 and reduction in absorption of photosynthetically active radiation were observed in the infected plants, mainly in the hybrid at the C stage. Also, variations were found in the noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport at the B and C stages in the infected Catongo.  相似文献

Changes in plant growth, photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and stem diameter of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants under drought stress were studied. Total plant dry mass was reduced by 30 % compared to well-watered control plants. Leaf water potential was slightly decreased by water stress. Water stress induced daytime shrinkage and reduced night-time expansion of stem. Photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were significantly declined by water stress, while the intercellular CO2 concentration was changed only slightly at the initiation of stress treatment. The maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem 2 and apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate were not changed by water stress.  相似文献

Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Zargana Kavala) were grown under conditions of increasing Cu concentrations in the growth medium (0.5-160.5 μM). Generally, the Cu concentrations between 0.5-1.5 μM were deficient, 1.5-10.5 μM were optimal, and 10.5-160.5 μM were toxic to plant growth. The Cu toxicity was associated with marked increases in plant tissue Cu concentrations. Under the Cu-deficient and optimal growth conditions, Cu was located primarily in the leaves. Under Cu toxicity, it was primarily sequestered in the roots. With increasing Cu in the growth medium, there was a positive correlation between Cu concentrations in the roots, stems and leaves, Ca in the roots, and K and Mg in the leaves. In contrast, Ca concentrations in the leaves and stems showed a negative correlation. The chlorophyll (Chl) concentration increased with increasing leaf Cu concentration, however, the Chl a/b ratio decreased. Since with an increasing leaf Cu concentration the leaf area decreased more markedly than the leaf dry mass, the net photosynthetic rate (PN) per leaf area increased and per dry mass decreased. The increase in PN per leaf area was almost entirely accounted for by the increase in Chl concentration. The initial Chl fluorescence (F0) increased with increasing leaf Cu concentration. The ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) under Cu toxicity decreased. The half-time for the rise from F0 to Fm (t1/2) remained relatively unchanged with increasing leaf Cu concentration. Therefore the Cu-stress caused a small decrease in the efficiency of photosystem 2 photochemistry, but its primary effect was on growth. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Net photosynthetic rate (P N) of tobacco plants grown with NH4-N as the only N source was the lowest all the times, while P N grown only with NO3-N was the greatest until 22nd day, and P N grown with both NO3-N and NH4-N (1 : 1) was the greatest. Maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem 2 (PS2), Fv/Fm, and actual quantum yield of PS2 under actinic irradiation (ΦPS2) in plants grown with only NH4-N were greatest at early stage and then decreased and were smaller than those of other treatments. Photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) and non-photochemical quenching coefficient (qNP) in the NH4-N plants were the greatest at all times. Hence excessive NH4-N can decrease not only photochemical efficiency but also the efficiency of utilization of photon energy absorbed by pigments for photosynthesis. Therefore, excessive NH4-N is a hindrance to photosynthesis of flue-cured tobacco. On the other hand, tobacco cultured with an appropriate mixture of NO3-N with NH4-N can sufficiently utilize photon energy and increase the efficiency of energy transformation.  相似文献

Barley seedlings that show mosaic expression of chlorophyll were selected from the progenies of mutagenized seeds. The sectored plants were grown under conditions that lead to the formation of lateral tillers, and a fraction of these had different kinds of leaf variegation. These sectorially and periclinally chimeric shoots were used to analyze the cellular organization of the barley shoot apex and the clonal development of the leaf. The shoot apex is organized in two cell lineages, L1 and L2. As well as giving rise to the epidermis, the L1 layer contributes to leaf mesophyll, particularly at the margins, but, on the adaxial side of leaf laminae, also in more central positions. The L1 layer alone is responsible for the formation of the hood, a flower homologue structure present in strains homozygoous for the dominant allele at the K (hooded ) locus. The relative contribution of L2 to leaf formation decreases in younger tillers and during tiller development from the basal to the flag leaf. Chimerism of the plants was generated by non-transmissible somatic events or by nuclear mutations. Received: 28 May 1998 / Accepted: 20 July 1998  相似文献

The relationship between the relative growth rate (RGR) and the nitrogen concentration of the whole plant (PNC) was analyzed by using experimentally determined relations (1) between the PNC and the fraction of dry matter (LWR) and nitrogen in leaves, (2) between the specific leaf area (SLA) and the leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) and (3) between the net assimilation rate (NAR) and the LNC on an area basis. A strong dependence of RGR on nitrogen concentration resulted from the increase in NAR, LWR and SLA with increasing PNC. A curvilinear relationship between RGR and PNC gave an optimum curve for nitrogen productivity against PNC.  相似文献

Over-expression of chloroplastic glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gene (LeGPAT) increased unsaturated fatty acid contents in phosphatidylglycerol (PG) of thylakoid membrane in tomato. The effect of this increase on the xanthophyll cycle and chloroplast antioxidant enzymes was examined by comparing wild type (WT) tomato with the transgenic (TG) lines at chilling temperature (4 °C) under low irradiance (100 μmol m−2 s−1). Net photosynthetic rate and the maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem (PS) 2 (Fv/Fm) in TG plants decreased more slowly during chilling stress and Fv/Fm recovered faster than that in WT plants under optimal conditions. The oxidizable P700 in both WT and TG plants decreased during chilling stress under low irradiance, but recovered faster in TG plants than in the WT ones. During chilling stress, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and the de-epoxidized ratio of xanthophyll cycle in WT plants were lower than those of TG tomatoes. The higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in TG plants resulted in the reduction of O2 −· and H2O2 contents during chilling stress. Hence the increase in content of unsaturated fatty acids in PG by the over-expression of LeGPAT could alleviate photoinhibition of PS2 and PS1 by improving the de-epoxidized ratio of xanthophyll cycle and activities of SOD and APX in chloroplast.  相似文献

The effects of different spectral region of excitation and detection of chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence at room temperature on the estimation of excitation energy utilization within photosystem (PS) 2 were studied in wild-type barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Bonus) and its Chl b-less mutant chlorina f2 grown under low and high irradiances [100 and 1 000 μmol(photon) m−2 s−1]. Three measuring spectral regimes were applied using a PAM 101 fluorometer: (1) excitation in the red region (maximum at the wavelength of 649 nm) and detection in the far-red region beyond 710 nm, (2) excitation in the blue region (maximum at the wavelength of 461 nm) and detection beyond 710 nm, and (3) excitation in the blue region and detection in the red region (660– 710 nm). Non-photochemical quenching of maximal (NPQ) and minimal fluorescence (SV0), determined by detecting Chl a fluorescence beyond 710 nm, were significantly higher for blue excitation as compared to red excitation. We suggest that this results from higher non-radiative dissipation of absorbed excitation energy within light-harvesting complexes of PS2 (LHC2) due to preferential excitation of LHC2 by blue radiation and from the lower contribution of PS1 emission to the detected fluorescence in the case of blue excitation. Detection of Chl a fluorescence originating preferentially from PS2 (i.e. in the range of 660–710 nm) led to pronounced increase of NPQ, SV0, and the PS2 photochemical efficiencies (FV/FM and FV′/FM′), indicating considerable underestimation of these parameters using the standard set-up of PAM 101. Hence PS1 contribution to the minimal fluorescence level in the irradiance-adapted state may reach up to about 80 %.  相似文献

Two-month-old seedlings of Sophora davidii were subjected to a randomized complete block design with three water (80, 40, and 20 % of water field capacity, i.e. FC80, FC40, and FC20) and three N supply [N0: 0, Nl: 92 and Nh: 184 mg(N) kg−1(soil)] regimes. Water stress produced decreased leaf area (LA) and photosynthetic pigment contents, inhibited photosynthetic efficiency, and induced photodamage in photosystem 2 (PS2), but increased specific leaf area (SLA). The decreased net photosynthetic rate (P N) under medium water stress (FC40) compared to control (FC80) might result from stomatal limitations, but the decreased P N under severe water deficit (FC20) might be attributed to non-stomatal limitations. On the other hand, N supply could improve photosynthetic capacity by increasing LA and photosynthetic pigment contents, and enhancing photosynthetic efficiency under water deficit. Moreover, N supply did a little in alleviating photodamages to PS2 caused by water stress. Hence water stress was the primary limitation in photosynthetic processes of S. davidii seedlings, while the photosynthetic characters of seedlings exhibited positive responses to N supply. Appropriate N supply is recommended to improve photosynthetic efficiency and alleviate photodamage under water stress.  相似文献

In this work, using a PAM-fluorimetry technique, we have compared effects of plant adaptation to the light or dark conditions on the kinetics of chlorophyll a fluorescence yield in Tradecantia leaves of several species (Tradescantia albiflora, Tradescantia fluminensis, Tradescantia navicularis, and Tradescantia sillamontana), which represent plants of different ecotypes. Two fluorescence parameters were used to assess photosynthetic performance in vivo: non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll fluorescence (qNPQ) determined by energy losses in the light-harvesting antenna of photosystem 2 (PS2), and PS2 operating efficiency (ΦPSII). Comparative study of light-induced changes in qNPQ and ΦPSII has demonstrated that shade-tolerant Tradecantia species (T. albiflora Kunth, T. fluminensis Vell.) reveal higher capacities for NPQ and demonstrate slower transitions between the ‘light-adapted’ and ‘dark-adapted’ states than succulent species T. navicularis and T. sillamontana, which are typical habitats of semi-deserts. We analyze the photosynthetic performance of Tradescantia species in the context of their adaptabilities to variable environment conditions. The ability of shade-tolerant plants to retain a relatively long-term (∼40-60 min) ‘memory’ for illumination history may be associated with the regulatory mechanisms that provide the flexibility of photosynthetic apparatus in response to fluctuations of light intensity.  相似文献

An attempt is made to reveal the relation between the induction curves of delayed fluorescence (DF) registered at 0.35-5.5 ms and the prompt chlorophyll fluorescence (PF). A simple formulation was proposed to link the ratio of the transient values of delayed and variable fluorescence with the redox state of the primary electron acceptor of Photosystem II--QA, and the thylakoid membrane energization. The term luminescence potential (UL) was introduced, defined as the sum of the redox potential of QA and the transmembrane proton gradient. It was shown that UL is proportional to the ratio of DF to the variable part of PF. The theoretical model was verified and demonstrated by analysing induction courses of PF and millisecond DF, simultaneously registered from leaves of barley--wild-type and the chlorophyll b-less mutant chlorina f2. A definitive correlation between PF and DF was established. If the luminescence changes are strictly due to UL, the courses of DF and PF are reciprocal and the millisecond DF curve resembles the first derivative of the PFt function.  相似文献

The time-resolved chlorophyll fluorescence emission of higher plant chloroplasts monitors the primary processes of photosynthesis and reflects photosynthetic membrane organization. In the present study we compare measurements of the chlorophyll fluorescence decay kinetics of the chlorophyll-b-less chlorina-f2 barley mutant and wild-type barley to investigate the effect of alterations in thylakoid membrane composition on chlorophyll fluorescence. Our analysis characterizes the fluorescence decay of chlorina-f2 barley chloroplasts by three exponential components with lifetimes of approx. 100 ps, 400 ps and 2 ns. The majority of the chlorophyll fluorescence originates in the two faster decay components. Although photo-induced and cation-induced effects on fluorescence yields are evident, the fluorescence lifetimes are independent of the state of the Photosystem-II reaction centers and the degree of grana stacking. Wild-type barley chloroplasts also exhibit three kinetic fluorescence components, but they are distinguished from those of the chlorina-f2 chloroplasts by a slow decay component which displays cation- and photo-induced yield and lifetime changes. A comparison is presented of the kinetic analysis of the chlorina-f2 barley fluorescence to the decay kinetics previously measured for intermittent-light-grown peas (Karukstis, K. and Sauer, K. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 725, 384–393). We propose that similarities in the fluorescence decay kinetics of both species are a consequence of analogous rearrangements of the thylakoid membrane organization due to the deficiencies present in the light-harvesting chlorophyll ab complex.  相似文献

The room temperature chlorophyll fluorescence decay kinetics of photosynthetic mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been measured as a function of Photosystem 2 (PS2) trap closure, DNB-induced quenching at FM, and time-resolved emission spectra. The overall decays have been analyzed in terms of three or four kinetic components where necessary. A comparison of the characteristics of the decay components exhibited by the mutants with the wild-type has been carried out to elucidate the precise origins of the different emissions in relation to the observed pigment-protein complexes. It is shown that a) charge recombination in PS2 is not necessary for the presence of long-lived decay components, b) there are two rapid PS1-associated emissions (=30 and 150–200 ps), c) a slow PS1 decay is observed (=1.73 ns) in the absence of PS1 reaction centres, d) the two variable components (=0.25–1.2 and 0.5–2.2 ns) observed in the wild-type arise from LHC2 and e) a rapid (=50–250 ps) decay is associated with the PS2 core antenna (CP3 and CP4). These results show that the intact thylakoid membrane system is too complex to distinguish all of the individual kinetic components.Abbreviations Aexp preexponential factor (Amplitude) - chl chlorophyll - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea - DNB m, dinitrobenzene - FM maximum chl fluorescence level - F0 initial chl fluorescence level - Fv variable chl fluorescence (FM–F0) - LHC light harvesting chl a/b protein complex - PS photosystem - QA primary stable electron acceptor of PS2  相似文献

Previous experiments have shown that the anatomy and chemical composition of leaves of inherently fast- and slow-growing grass species, grown at non-limiting nitrogen supply, differ systematically. The present experiment was carried out to investigate whether these differences persist when the plants are grown at an intermediate or a very low nitrogen supply. To this end, the inherently fast-growing Poa annua L. and Poa trivialis L., and the inherently slow-growing Poa compressa L. and Poa pratensis (L.) Schreb. were grown hydroponically at three levels of nitrate supply: at optimum (RGRmax) and at relative addition rates of 100 and 50 mmol N (mol N)?1 d?1 (RAR100 and RAR50), respectively. As expected, at the lowest N supply, the potentially fast-growing species grew at the same rate as the inherently slow-growing ones. Similarly, the differences in leaf area ratio (LAR, leaf area:total dry mass), specific leaf area (SLA, leaf arear:leaf dry mass) and leaf mass ratio (LMR, leaf dry mass:total dry mass) disappeared. Under optimal conditions, the fast-growing species differed from the slow-growing ones in that they had a higher N concentration. There were no significant differences in C concentration. With decreasing N supply, the total N concentration decreased and the differences between the species disappeared. The total C concentration increased for the fast-growing species and decreased for the slow-growing ones, i.e. the small, but insignificant, difference in C concentration between the species at RGRmax increased with decreasing N supply. The chemical composition of the leaves at low N supply, analysed in more detail by pyrolysis–mass spectrometry, showed an increase in the relative amounts of guaiacyl lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, whereas those of syringyl lignin and protein decreased. The anatomy and morphology of the leaves of the four grass species differing in RGRmax were analysed by image-processing analysis. The proportion of the total volume occupied by mesophyll plus intercellular spaces and epidermis did not correlate with the amount of leaf mass per unit leaf area (specific leaf mass, SLM) at different N supply. The higher SLM at low N supply was caused partly by a high proportion of non-veinal sclerenchymatic cells per cross-section and partly by the smaller volume of epidermal cells. We conclude that the decrease in relative growth rate (and increase in SLM) at decreasing N supply is partly due to chemical and anatomical changes. The differences between the fast- and slow-growing grass species at an optimum nutrient supply diminished when plants were growing at a limiting nitrogen supply.  相似文献
