以杂交泡桐毛白33(即TF33)及其回交一代(BC1(194)和BC1(192))为材料,通过人工模拟旷地、林窗和林下3种光环境(分别为全光照L0、50%全光照L1、25%全光照L2),比较了不同光强下泡桐回交一代及其亲本TF33叶片的光合能力和叶绿素荧光特性的差异。结果显示:(1)遮荫后杂交泡桐净光合速率(Pn)日变化曲线由"双峰"型变为"单峰"型,日平均Pn随遮荫程度增加显著降低(P0.05)。L0条件下,BC1(194)和BC1(192)的日平均Pn未表现出杂种优势;L1条件下,BC1(192)和BC1(194)的日平均Pn杂种优势率(RH)分别为2.23%和3.67%;L2条件下,BC1(192)的日平均Pn高于TF33,但差异不显著,BC1(194)则表现为杂种劣势。(2)L0条件下,TF33的最大净光合速率(Pmax)和光饱和点(LSP)最大,光补偿点(LCP)和暗呼吸速率(Rd)最小;L1条件下,BC1(192)的Pmax、LSP和AQY最大,LCP和Rd最小;L2条件下,虽然BC1(194)和BC1(192)的Pmax低于TF33,但其LCP和Rd值也低于TF33。(3)L0条件下,TF33、BC1(194)和BC1(192)各荧光参数差异不显著;L1条件下,3个无性系的q P和q N差异显著,BC1(192)的热耗散最弱,光合能力最强;L2条件下,BC1(192)和TF33的q P差异不显著,BC1(194)与TF33差异显著,BC1(192)的Fv/Fm、F0和ETR与TF33、BC1(194)差异显著(P0.05)。结果表明,TF33、BC1(194)和BC1(192)虽均对弱光有一定的调节适应机制,但在全光照下生长最为适宜,遮荫使植株的光合能力显著降低,光照不足成为其生长的决定性限制因子。在低光照(L1)条件下,BC1(194)和BC1(192)较其亲本TF33有光合优势。     

The responses of photosynthetic gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence to changes of irradiance and temperature in two species of Miscanthus

Photosynthetic CO₂ uptake and chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence of C₄ perennial grasses, Miscanthus floridulus (Labill) Warb and M. transmorrisonensis Hayata, from altitudes in central Taiwan of 390 and 2700 m, respectively, were studied at 10 and 25 °C to find if the species differ in their photosynthetic responses to a low temperature, and whether their photosystems 2 become more susceptible to the photoinhibition at low temperatures. For both species, the maximum photosynthetic rate (P_max) was reduced when the leaves were exposed to 10 °C. At irradiances higher than 400 µmol m^-2 s^-1, the values of F_v/F_m were reduced in both species at 10 °C but not at 25 °C, which indicated the photoinhibition at 10 °C. Reductions in P_max and the values of F_v/F_m at 10 °C were lesser in M. transmorrisonensis than in M. floridulus.

Effects of iron on the growth and minimal fluorescence yield of three marine Synechococcus strains (Cyanophyceae)

Two coastal Synechococcus stains PCC 7002 and CC9311 and one oceanic strain WH8102 were cultured with 4–1000 nM Fe in Aquil medium. Compared with those under iron‐replete conditions, their growth rates were significantly decreased by 59% for WH8102 at 15 nM Fe, by 37% for CC9311 at 15 nM Fe and by 57% for PCC 7002 at 4 nM Fe. Among these three strains, PCC 7002 was the most tolerant to iron limitation while WH8102 was the most sensitive to iron limitation. For each strain under the same iron concentration, the growth rates calculated from the minimal fluorescence yield and cell concentration showed no significant difference. The linear correlation was established between the minimal fluorescence yield and cell concentration although the minimal fluorescence yield per cell varied depending on the strains and iron levels. Under iron‐replete conditions, the minimal fluorescence yield per cell was 100‐fold higher for the phycoerythrin‐lacking strain PCC 7002 than two phycoerythrin‐containing strains WH8102 and CC9311. Under iron‐deplete conditions, it was increased respectively by 128% and 7% for WH8102 and CC9311 but was decreased by 30% for PCC 7002. Furthermore, the minimal fluorescence yield per cell for PCC 7002 and CC9311 showed little difference throughout the light and dark diel cycle. However, it was significantly higher for WH8102 in the daytime than in the dark.     

Influence of excitation light intensity and leaf age on the slow chlorophyll fluorescence transient in radish

The temporal characteristics of the slow phase of chlorophyll fluorescence induction-T _0.5 (half-decay time) and t _min (an integral-based index of the variable emission rate)-as well as the popular amplitude index F _P/F _S were determined at different excitation light intensities (I _ex [400?C500 nm] of 20?C80 W/m²) in dark-adapted leaves of different age (3?C24 days) taken from radish plants grown under continuous light of 100 W/m² PAR. All the profiles thus obtained were mutually consistent, and the age-related variations were minimized at I _ex > 40 W/m²; at that the age-averaged temporal indices proved to be more light-responsive than the standard amplitude ratio.     

Seasonal variations in photosynthetic irradiance response curves of macrophytes from a Mediterranean coastal lagoon

The main photosynthesis and respiration parameters (dark respiration rate, light saturated production rate, saturation irradiance, photosynthetic efficiency) were measured on a total of 23 macrophytes of the Thau lagoon (2 Phanerogams, 5 Chlorophyceae, 10 Rhodophyceae and 6 Phaeophyceae). Those measurements were performed in vitro under controlled conditions, close to the natural ones, and at several seasons. Concomitantly, measurements of pigment concentrations, carbon, phosphorous and nitrogen contents in tissues were performed. Seasonal intra-specific variability of photosynthetic parameters was found very high, enlightening an important acclimatation capacity. The highest photosynthetic capacities were found for Chlorophyceae (e.g. Monostroma obscurum thalli at 17 °C, 982 μmol O₂ g⁻¹ dw h⁻¹ and 9.1 μmol O₂ g⁻¹ dw h⁻¹/μmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively for light saturated net production rate and photosynthetic efficiency) and Phanerogams (e.g. Nanozostera noltii leaves at 25 °C, 583 μmol O₂ g⁻¹ dw h⁻¹ and 2.6 μmol O₂ g⁻¹ dw h⁻¹/μmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ respectively for light saturated net production rate and photosynthetic efficiency). As expected, species with a high surface/volume ratio were found to be more productive than coarsely branched thalli and thick blades shaped species. Contrary to R_d (ranging 6.7–794 μmol O₂ g⁻¹ dw h⁻¹, respectively for Rytiphlaea tinctoria at 7 °C and for Dasya sessilis at 25 °C) for which a positive relationship with water temperature was found whatever the species studied, the evolution of P/I curves with temperature exhibited different responses amongst the species. The results allowed to show summer nitrogen limitation for some species (Gracilaria bursa-pastoris and Ulva spp.) and to propose temperature preferences based on the photosynthetic parameters for some others (N. noltii, Zostera marina, Chaetomorpha linum).     

Effect of light intensity on chlorophyll fluorescence in wheat leaves: Application of PAM-fluorometry

Application of pulse-amplitude-modulation (PAM) fluorometers for measuring slow stages of chlorophyll fluorescence induction (CFI) is considered. With an example of Triticum aestuvum L. plants grown under continuous illumination at a photon flux density of 600 μmol/(m² s) photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), the CFI curves were analyzed with leaves of various ages as a function of actinic light intensity. The fluorometer PAM-2100 was applied for measurements of CFI curves. The characteristic peaks of CFI curves in wheat leaves were most conspicuous and had the largest amplitudes at 600–800 μmol/(m² s) PAR, which corresponds to the middle range of actinic light intensities employed in PAM-2100 fluorometers. In plants exposed to favorable and stressful conditions, the developmental stages may proceed at different rates; thus, the comparison of fluorescence parameters for leaves of equal calendar age but having different physiological states may provide ambiguous data. Therefore, the feasibility of recording CFI curves of different types is quite important for rapid diagnostics of the age and state of plant leaves, as well as for adequate physiological conclusions.     

Analysis of photosynthetic pigments and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics of different strains of Porphyra yezoensis

The levels of photosynthetic pigments and chlorophyll fluorescence of Porphyra yezoensis strains selected from high-light environments were investigated. Sutong and Sulian strains originated from the same high-light environment but were selected from different sites on the Yellow Sea coast of Jiangsu Province, China. In January (a low temperature period), the Sulian strain and the WT (a widely cultivated strain) had higher levels of chlorophyll a, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin, and higher actual photochemical efficiency of PSII (ΔF/F _m′) than the Sutong strain. This indicated that Sulian and the WT may have better adaptation to low temperature. In March (an optimal temperature period), Sutong had higher levels of photosynthetic pigments and higher ΔF/F _m′ than the WT and Sulian strains. This suggested that Sutong had higher light use efficiency at optimal temperatures and that most energy absorbed by PSII was used for photosynthetic electron transport. The differing areas of origin of these strains may have resulted in these differences in temperature adaptation.     

Geometrical similarity analysis of photosynthetic light response curves, light saturation and light use efficiency

Light absorption and use efficiency (LAUE mol mol⁻¹, daily gross photosynthesis per daily incident light) of each leaf depends on several factors, including the degree of light saturation. It is often discussed that upper canopy leaves exposed to direct sunlight are fully light-saturated. However, we found that upper leaves of three temperate species, a heliophytic perennial herb Helianthus tuberosus, a pioneer tree Alnus japonica, and a late-successional tree Fagus crenata, were not fully light-saturated even under full sunlight. Geometrical analysis of the photosynthetic light response curves revealed that all the curves of the leaves from different canopy positions, as well as from the different species, can be considered as different parts of a single non-rectangular hyperbola. The analysis consistently explained how those leaves were not fully light-saturated. Light use optimization models, called big leaf models, predicted that the degree of light saturation and LAUE are both independent of light environment. From these, we hypothesized that the upper leaves should not be fully light-saturated even under direct sunlight, but instead should share the light limitation with the shaded lower-canopy leaves, so as to utilize strong sunlight efficiently. Supporting this prediction, within a canopy of H. tuberosus, both the degree of light saturation and LAUE were independent of light environment within a canopy, resulting in proportionality between the daily photosynthesis and the daily incident light among the leaves.     

Changes in Photosystem II fluorescence in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii exposed to increasing levels of irradiance in relationship to the photosynthetic response to light

The effects of a 60 min exposure to photosynthetic photon flux densities ranging from 300 to 2200 mol m^–2s^–1 on the photosynthetic light response curve and on PS II heterogeneity as reflected in chlorophyll a fluorescence were investigated using the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It was established that exposure to high light acts at three different regulatory or inhibitory levels; 1) regulation occurs from 300 to 780 mol m^–2s^–1 where total amount of PS II centers and the shape of the light response curve is not significantly changed, 2) a first photoinhibitory range above 780 up to 1600 mol m^–2s^–1 where a progressive inhibition of the quantum yield and the rate of bending (convexity) of the light response curve can be related to the loss of Q_B-reducing centers and 3) a second photoinhibitory range above 1600 mol m^–2s^–1 where the rate of light saturated photosynthesis also decreases and convexity reaches zero. This was related to a particularly large decrease in PS II centers and a large increase in spill-over in energy to PS I.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - DCMU 3,(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - F_M maximal fluorescence yield - F_pl intermediate fluorescence yield plateau level - F₀ non-variable fluorescence yield - F_v total variable fluorescence yield (F_M-F₀) - initial slope to the light response curve, used as an estimate of initial quantum yield - convexity (rate of bending) of the light response curve of photosynthesis - LHC light-harvesting complex - P_max maximum rate of photosynthesis - PQ plastoquinone - Q photosynthetically active photon flux density (400–700 nm, mol m^–2s^–1) - PS photosystem - Q_A and Q_B primary and secondary quinone electron acceptor of PS II

Combined gas exchange characteristics,chlorophyll fluorescence and response curves as selection traits for temperature tolerance in maize genotypes

Maize is a low-temperature (LT)-sensitive plant and its physiological responses towards LT of temperate regions developed is an adaptive trait. To further our understanding about the response of maize to LT at the physiological and photosynthesis level, we conducted Infrared Gas Analysis (IRGA using LICOR6400-XT in 45-day-old grown two maize genotypes, one from temperate region (Gurez-Kashmir Himalayas), viz., Gurez local (Gz local), and another from tropics (Gujarat), viz., GM6. This study was carried out to evaluate the underlying physiological mechanisms in the two differentially temperature-tolerant maize genotypes. Net photosynthetic rate (A/P_N), 18.253 in Gz local and 25.587 (µmol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1) in GM6; leaf conductance (gs), 0.0102 in Gz local and 0.0566 (mmol H₂O m^?2 s^?1) in GM6; transpiration rate (E), 0.5371 in Gz local and 2.9409 (mmol H₂O m^?2 s^?1) in GM6; and water use efficiency (WUE), 33.9852 in Gz local and 8.7224 (µmol CO₂ mmol H₂O^?1) in GM6, were recorded under ambient conditions. Also, photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) (F_v/F_m), 0.675 in Gz local and 0.705 in GM6; maximum photochemical efficiency (F_v′/F_m′), 0.310234 in Gz local and 0.401391 in GM6; photochemical quenching (qP), 0.2375 in Gz local and 0.2609 in GM6; non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), 2.0036 in Gz local and 1.1686 in GM6; effective yield of PSII (ФPSII), 0.0789 in Gz local and 0.099 in GM6; and electron transport rate (ETR), 55.3152 in Gz local and 68.112 in GM6, were also evaluated in addition to various response curves, like light intensities and temperature. We observed that light response curves show the saturation light intensity requirement of 1600 µmol for both the genotypes, whereas temperature response curves showed the optimum temperature requirement for Gz local as 20 °C and for GM6 it was found to be 35 °C. The results obtained for each individual parameter and other correlational studies indicate that IRGA forms a promising route for quick and reliable screening of various stress-tolerant valuable genotypes, forming the first study of its kind.

     

光强对三七光合能力及能量分配的影响

通过研究生长于不同环境光强(29.8%、9.6%、5.0%、1.4%和0.2%全日照)下的2年生三七光合作用对光照强度、CO₂浓度、模拟光斑的响应及叶绿素荧光和能量分配特征,研究光照强度对阴生植物三七光合特征及光适应的影响.结果表明: 29.8%全日照(FL)下三七表观量子效率(AQY)、光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)潜在的量子效率(F_v/F_m)、PSⅡ潜在活性(F_v/F_o)较低,最大净光合速率(P_{n max})、最大电子传递速率(J_max)、实际光化学量子效率(F/F_m′)、电子传递速率(ETR)、光化学淬灭系数(q_P)和光能分配到光化学途径的比例(Φ_PSⅡ)较高,但非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)并不是最高.9.6% FL和5.0% FL处理P_{n max}、光补偿点(LCP)、光饱和点(LSP)、暗呼吸速率(R_d)无显著差异,但它们的AQY、羧化效率(CE)、最大羧化速率(V_{c max})、F_v/F_m、F_v/F_o较高,NPQ也相对较高.生长环境光强低于5.0%FL时,P_{n max}、CE、V_{c max}、J_max、ETR、F/F_m′、q_P、NPQ和Φ_PSⅡ均随生长环境光强的降低呈下降趋势,而捕获的光能分配到荧光耗散的比例(Φ_f,D)逐渐增加.在500 μmol·m^-2·s^-1光斑诱导下,生长环境光强大于5.0%FL下的三七Φ_PSⅡ随诱导时间的延长缓慢增加,1.4%FL和0.2%FL下Φ_PSⅡ迅速达到饱和,且Φ_f,D迅速增加.三七在受到长期高光胁迫的环境下,通过适度的PSⅡ光抑制和保持较高光合电子传递速率,从而提高光能的利用来保护光合机构遭受不可修复的氧化伤害;适度的遮荫能够有效保持较高的非光化学热耗散能力;但过度遮荫会使其光合能力明显降低,捕获的光能更多地通过非光化学的途径耗散,且在接受到高光照射时较容易引发光氧化伤害.     

高温强光下水杨酸对黄瓜叶片叶绿素荧光和叶黄素循环的影响

在高温强光条件下,研究了外源水杨酸对黄瓜叶片叶绿素荧光参数和叶黄素循环的影响.结果表明,在高温强光胁迫前2 d用50～400 μmol·L^-1水杨酸处理叶片,抑制了高温强光下原初光能转换效率(F_v/F_m)、光合电子传递量子效率(ΦPSⅡ)、最大荧光(F_m)和光化学猝灭系数(qP)的下降,分别比对照提高了16.1%～30.2%、11.9%～33.0%、7.2%～41.0%和27.2%～160.8%,促进了非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)的升高,比对照提高了13.1%～62.9%,而对初始荧光(F_o)影响不大.水杨酸处理可减小高温强光下叶黄素循环库的下降幅度,使(A+Z)/(V+A+Z)升高,分别比对照高29.5%和24.6%.这些结果说明,水杨酸可通过提高非辐射能量耗散,对高温强光引起的黄瓜叶片光合机构的破坏具有保护作用.     

水分胁迫对牛心朴子叶片光合色素及叶绿素荧光的影响

研究了水分胁迫对牛心朴子叶片光合色素及叶绿素荧光动力学参数的影响。结果表明,在长期的水分胁迫中,牛心朴子叶片的叶绿素a(Chl a)、叶绿素b(Chl b)和类胡萝卜素(Car)含量没有下降或下降不明显。直到处理末期才显著下降;叶片叶绿素荧光动力学参数Fo、Fm、Fv、Fv／Fm变化不大,在处理末期各处理Fo降低,轻度、重度水分胁迫的Fm、Fv、Fv／Fm升高。说明K期水分胁迫后牛心朴子的光合功能受到影响,但牛心朴子仍表现出较强的适应干旱的能力。

The relationship between light scattering and chlorophyll a fluorescence during oscillations in photosynthetic carbon assimilation

Light scattering, which can be taken as an indicator of the transthylakoid proton gradient, and the 518-nm rise, which can be regarded as a measure of the transthylakoid membrane potential, have been followed during oscillations in chlorophyll a fluorescence, which are known to be associated with corresponding changes in photosynthetic carbon assimilation. Both components oscillated in a manner which was broadly reciprocal to chlorophyll a fluorescence. However, there was a phase shift such that the light-scattering change usually anticipated fluorescence and often also the 518-nm shift. It is concluded that the proton motive force rises and falls slightly in advance of rises and falls in carbon assimilation. The relationship of these changes to a possible underlying mechanism is discussed.
