Photoinhibition of photosynthesis in intact willow leaves in response to moderate changes in light and temperature

When willow leaves were transferred from 270 to 650 μmol m^-2 s^-1 photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), partial photoinhibition developed over the next hours. This was manifested as roughly parallel inhibitions of the ratio of variable over maximal chlorophyll fluorescence (F_v/F_M), and of the maximal quantum yield and the capacity of photosynthesis. This occurred even though photosynthesis was operating well below its capacity and only about one fourth of the reaction centres of photosystem (PS) II were in the closed state. When the air temperature was lowered from 25 to 15°C (18°C leaf temperature) photoinhibition was markedly accelerated. This temperature effect is suggested to be mediated largely by a decrease in the rate of energy dissipation through photosynthesis and indicated by a 50% increase in the number of closed PSII reaction centres. The pool size of the carotcnoid zeaxanthin and the extent of inhibition of the F_v/F_M ratio were positively correlated during the treatment. However, the relaxation following imposition of darkness was much faster for zeaxanthin than for the F_v/F_M ratio, ruling out the possibility of a direct causal relationship. The energy distribution between PSII and PSI was unaltered upon photoinhibition. However, the functioning of the PSII reaction centres was altered, as indicated by a rise in the minimal fluorescence, Fa.     

铝胁迫对蓼科植物生长和光合、蒸腾特性的影响

采用水培试验,设置5种铝处理浓度,研究了铝对3种蓼科植物酸模叶蓼、杠板归和辣蓼叶片光合、蒸腾和叶绿素荧光参数的影响。结果表明,高铝处理(400μmol.L-1)显著抑制3种蓼科植物地上部和根系生长,并且导致3种蓼科植物叶片叶绿素含量、Chla/Chlb、净光合速率(Pn)、水分利用效率(WUE)、PSII光合电子传递量子效率(φPSII)和光化学猝灭系数(qP)显著下降。中低铝处理(25~100μmol.L-1)时,与对照相比,酸模叶蓼生物量显著增加,杠板归显著减少,辣蓼先增加后减少。其中,酸模叶蓼和辣蓼叶绿素含量、Chla/Chlb、Pn、蒸腾速率(Tr)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、PSII最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、qP均未发生显著变化,但辣蓼WUE、φPSII和非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)显著下降,酸模叶蓼无显著变化;而杠板归除Ci、Fv/Fm外,其余叶片光合、蒸腾及叶绿素荧光参数均出现显著下降。上述结果表明,酸模叶蓼在中低铝处理条件下可通过保持较高的叶绿素含量、Chla/Chlb、WUE、Pn、PSII反应中心光化学反应效率以及提高非辐射能量耗散来增强其对铝的耐性。

Air temperature triggers the recovery of evergreen boreal forest photosynthesis in spring

The timing of the commencement of photosynthesis (P^*) in spring is an important determinant of growing‐season length and thus of the productivity of boreal forests. Although controlled experiments have shed light on environmental mechanisms triggering release from photoinhibition after winter, quantitative research for trees growing naturally in the field is scarce. In this study, we investigated the environmental cues initiating the spring recovery of boreal coniferous forest ecosystems under field conditions. We used meteorological data and above‐canopy eddy covariance measurements of the net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) from five field stations located in northern and southern Finland, northern and southern Sweden, and central Siberia. The within‐ and intersite variability for P^* was large, 30–60 days. Of the different climate variables examined, air temperature emerged as the best predictor for P^* in spring. We also found that ‘soil thaw’, defined as the time when near‐surface soil temperature rapidly increases above 0°C, is not a useful criterion for P^*. In one case, photosynthesis commenced 1.5 months before soil temperatures increased significantly above 0°C. At most sites, we were able to determine a threshold for air‐temperature‐related variables, the exceeding of which was required for P^*. A 5‐day running‐average temperature (T₅) produced the best predictions, but a developmental‐stage model (S) utilizing a modified temperature sum concept also worked well. But for both T₅ and S, the threshold values varied from site to site, perhaps reflecting genetic differences among the stands or climate‐induced differences in the physiological state of trees in late winter/early spring. Only at the warmest site, in southern Sweden, could we obtain no threshold values for T₅ or S that could predict P^* reliably. This suggests that although air temperature appears to be a good predictor for P^* at high latitudes, there may be no unifying ecophysiological relationship applicable across the entire boreal zone.     

Relationships between nitrogen uptake and carbon assimilation in whole plants of tall fescue

Abstract. The present study investigates the relationships between nitrogen uptake, transpiration, and carbon assimilation. Plants growing on nutrient solution were enclosed for 10–16 d in a growth chamber, where temperature, photon flux density, vapour saturation deficit and CO₂ concentration were controlled. One of these factors was modified every 4 to 5 d. Shoot photosynthesis and root and shoot respiration were recorded every half-hour. Nitrogen uptake from the root medium and plant transpiration were measured daily. In most cases, an increase in photon flux density led to increases in transpiration, net daily carbon assimilation, and nitrogen uptake. By modifying transpiration rate without changing photosynthesis (varying vapour saturation deficit), or by modifying transpiration and carbon assimilation in opposite ways (varying CO₂ air concentration), it was shown that nitrogen uptake does not follow transpiration, but is linked to the carbon uptake of the plant. When light was increased from low to intermediate levels, the N uptake/C assimilation ratio remained constant. At higher photon flux density, this ratio declined markedly. It is proposed that in the first case, growth is limited by carbohydrate availability, thus any increase in carbon assimilation leads to a proportional increase in nitrogen uptake, in contrast to the second situation where carbohydrates may accumulate in the plant without further nitrogen requirement.     

Stomatal and environmental control of transpiration in a lowland tropical forest tree

Stomatal control of crown transpiration was studied in Anacardium excelsum, a large-leaved, emergent canopy species common in the moist forests of Central and northern South America. A construction crane equipped with a gondola was used to gain access to the uppermost level in the crown of a 35-m-tall individual. Stomatal conductance at the single leaf scale, and transpiration and total vapour phase conductance (stomatal and boundary layer) at the branch scale were measured simultaneously using the independent techniques of porometry and stem heat balance, respectively. This permitted the sensitivity of transpiration to a marginal change in stomatal conductance to be evaluated using a dimensionless coupling coefficient (1-ω) ranging from zero to 1, with 1 representing maximal stomatal control of transpiration. Average stomatal conductance varied from 0.09 mol m^?2 s^?1 during the dry season to 0.3 mol m^?2 s^?1 during the wet season. Since boundary layer conductance was relatively low (0.4 mol m^?2 s^?1), 1-ω ranged from 0.46 during the dry season to only 0.25 during the wet season. A pronounced stomatal response to humidity was observed, which strongly limited transpiration as evaporative demand increased. The stomatal response to humidity was apparent only when the leaf surface was used as the reference point for measurement of external vapour pressure. Average transpiration was predicted to be nearly the same during the dry and wet seasons despite a 1 kPa difference in the prevailing leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference. The patterns of stomatal behaviour and transpiration observed were consistent with recent proposals that stomatal responses to humidity are based on sensing the transpiration rate itself.

Growth and photosynthesis of Chinese cabbage plants grown under light-emitting diode-based light source

We compared growth and the content of sugar, protein, and photosynthetic pigments, as well as chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in 15- and 27-day-old Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.) plants grown under a high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps or a light source built on the basis of red (650 nm) and blue (470 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a red to blue photon ratio of 7: 1. One group of plants was grown at a photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) level of 391 ± 24 μ mol/(m² s) (normal level); the other, at a PPF level of 107 ± 9 μ mol/(m² s) (low light). Plants of the third group were firstly grown at the low light and then (on the 12th day) transferred to the normal level. When grown at the normal PPF level, the plants grown under LEDs didn’t differ from plants grown under HPS lamps in shoot fresh weight, but they showed a lower root fresh and dry weights and the lower content of total sugar and sugar reserves in the leaves. No differences in the pigment content and photosystem II quantum yield were found; however, a higher Chl a/b ratio in plants grown under LEDs indicates a different proportion of functional complexes in thylakoid membranes. The response to low light conditions was mostly the same in plants grown under HPS lamps and LEDs; however, LED plants showed a lower growth rate and a higher nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching. In the case of the altered PPF level during growth, the plant photosynthetic apparatus adapted to new conditions of illumination within three days. Plants grown under HPS lamps at a constant normal PPF level and those transferred to the normal PPF level on the 12th day, on the 27th day didn’t differ in shoot fresh weight, but in plants grown under LEDs, the differences were considerable. Our results show that LED-based light sources can be used for plant growing. At the same time, some specific properties of plant photosynthesis and growth under these conditions of illumination were found.

Changes in photosynthetic and transpiration rates of cotton leaves infested with the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii: Unrestricted infestation

The influence of aphid, Aphis gossypii, feeding on photosynthesis and transpiration in cotton plants was investigated under greenhouse conditions. Four population densities of 0, 5, 10, and 25 aphids were used to infest individual cotton leaves. Gas exchange rates were determined for single attached cotton leaves after 9, 18, and 27 days of aphid infestation. Aphid feeding changed photosynthetic rates and transpiration rates. These changes were proportional to the number of aphids and the length of infestation period. Photosynthetic rates were significantly reduced in infested leaves with 25 aphids over 18 days, whereas significant reduction in photosynthetic rates was recorded within 27 days in infested leaves with 5, 10, and 25 aphids in comparison to their respective control. Initial population of 10 aphids increased significantly the transpiration rate of infested leaves over 9 and 27 days. Leaves of plants with 25 aphids had significantly greater transpiration rate than the control at all times.     

Parameters of photosynthesis light curve in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salix dasyclados</Emphasis> and their changes during the growth season

A dependence of the photosynthesis rate on light is characterized by a number of parameters that are often used for comparison between plant species or for finding photosynthesis interconnections with other physiological processes. In order to properly assessed these parameters, we measured the maximum apparent photosynthesis rate (P _max), dark respiration rate (R _d), light compensation point (LCP), quantum yield corresponding to photosynthetic efficiency (QY), and the light saturation constant (K _s), taking into consideration the leaf plastochron index during vegetation of one of the willow species (Salix dasyclados Wimn.). The P _max value was the highest in the beginning of the growth season when the leaf reached 65% of its full area; after that P _max slowly declined. The most important cardinal value for R _d is its plateau reached by the end of leaf growth, i.e., later than the photosynthesis rate maximum. This plateau value also decreased during vegetation. The LCP value changed in the same way as R _d but reached its plateau simultaneously with the photosynthesis rate maximum. QY also reached its maximum at the same time with the photosynthesis rate; during vegetation it changed more than twofold. The K _s value also changed almost twofold during the season, reaching its maximum together or slightly later than the photosynthesis maximum and then remained constant. Thus, we have found significant changes in the parameters of the photosynthesis light curve during growth season. This shows that they can be used only after a thorough study of leaf development in each particular plant species. Usually performed measuring gas exchange parameters in fully developed leaves does not yield their maximum values and thus does not have any physiological sense.     

A coupled model of photosynthesis,stomatal conductance and transpiration for a rose leaf (Rosa hybrida L.)

The following three models were combined to predict simultaneously photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and leaf temperature of a rose leaf: the biochemical model of photosynthesis of Farquhar, von Caemmerer and Berry (1980, Planta 149: 78-90), the stomatal conductance model of Ball, Woodrow and Berry (In: Biggens J, ed. Progress in photosynthesis research. The Netherlands: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers), and an energy balance model. The photosynthetic parameters: maximum carboxylation rate, potential rate of electron transport and rate of triose phosphate utilization, and their temperature dependence were determined using gas exchange data of fully expanded, young, sunlit leaves. The stomatal conductance model was calibrated independently. Prediction of net photosynthesis by the coupled model agreed well with the validation data, but the model tended to underestimate rates of stomatal conductance and transpiration. The coupled model developed in this study can be used to assist growers making environmental control decisions in glasshouse production.

Estimation of Mediterranean forest transpiration and photosynthesis through the use of an ecosystem simulation model driven by remotely sensed data

Aim This paper investigates the use of an ecosystem simulation model, FOREST‐BGC, to estimate the main ecophysiological processes (transpiration and photosynthesis) of Mediterranean coastal forest areas using remotely sensed data. Location Model testing was carried out at two protected forest sites in central Italy, one of which was covered by Turkey oak (Circeo National Park) and the other by holm‐oak (Castelporziano Estate). Methods At both sites, transpiration and photosynthesis measurements were collected in the field during the growing seasons over a four‐year period (1999 and 2001 for the Turkey oak; 1997, 1999 and 2000 for the holm‐oak). Calibration of the model was obtained through combining information derived from ground measurements and remotely sensed data. In particular, remote sensing estimates of the Leaf Area Index derived from 1 × 1‐km NOAA AVHRR Normalized Difference Vegetation Index data were used to improve the adaptation of the model to local forest conditions. Results The results indicated different strategies regarding water use efficiency, ‘water spending’ for Turkey oak and ‘water saving’ for holm‐oak. The water use efficiency for the holm‐oak was consistently higher than that for the Turkey oak and the relationship between VPD and WUE for the holm‐oak showed a higher coefficient of determination (R² = 0.9238). Comparisons made between the field measurements of transpiration and photosynthesis and the model estimates showed that the integration procedure used for the deciduous oak forest was effective, but that there is a need for further studies regarding the sclerophyllous evergreen forest. In particular, for Turkey oak the simulations of transpiration yielded very good results, with errors lower than 0.3 mm H₂O/day, while the simulation accuracy for photosynthesis was lower. In the case of holm‐oak, transpiration was markedly overestimated for all days considered, while the simulations of photosynthesis were very accurate. Main conclusions Overall, the approach offers interesting operational possibilities for the monitoring of Mediterranean forest ecosystems, particularly in view of the availability of new satellite sensors with a higher spatial and temporal resolution, which have been launched in recent years.     

Differences in photosynthetic characteristics and accumulation of osmoprotectants in saplings of evergreen plants grown inside and outside a glasshouse during the winter season

Photochemical efficiency, photosynthetic capacity, osmoprotectants, and relative water content (RWC) were recorded in saplings of two evergreen plants (Boehmeria rugulosa Wedd. and Olea glandulifera Wall. ex G. Don) grown inside (GL) and outside (OP) a glasshouse during the winter season. The OP plants experienced 2.0–2.5 °C lower air temperature and dew formation in comparison to GL plants. Diurnal observations indicated no change in RWC in the leaves of GL and OP plants, while significant reduction in both transpiration and net photosynthetic (P _N) rates was observed in OP plants: the reduction in P _N was much more prominent as was also reflected by poor water use efficiency of these plants. Similarly, OP plants also showed decrease in the apparent quantum yield and irradiance-saturated CO₂ assimilation rate. The decrease in P _N was not associated with decreased stomatal conductance. However, a significant reduction in the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence (F_v/F_m) and Chl content was recorded in the OP plants which also contained more total soluble saccharides but less proline contents. The greater enhancement of P _N at 15 °C in comparison to measurements taken at 10 °C in OP plants over GL plants probably indicated an increase in mesophyll capacity of the OP plants’ growth at increased temperature. Hence the enhanced growth and productivity of plants grown in sheltered environments could be associated to their higher photosynthetic activity that may have important bearing on their field establishment and productivity in the long run. The response varied with plant species; reduction in P _N was greater in B. rugulosa than in O. glandulifera. However, the recovery of OP plants in terms of F_v/F_m in the subsequent months revealed that photosynthetic system of these plants is revocable.     

Interactive effects of elevated carbon dioxide and growth temperature on photosynthesis in cotton leaves

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., cv DPL 5415) plants were grown in naturally lit environment chambers at day/night temperature regimes of 26/18 (T-26/18), 31/23 (T-31/23) and 36/28 °C (T-36/28) and CO2 concentrations of 350 (C-350), 450 (C-450) and 700 L L-1 (C-700). Net photosynthesis rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration, RuBP carboxylase activity and the foliar contents of starch and sucrose were measured during different growth stages. Net CO2 assimilation rates increased with increasing CO2 and temperature regimes. The enhancement of photosynthesis was from 24 mol CO2 m-2 s-1 (with C-350 and T-26/18) to 41 mol m-2 s-1 (with C-700 and T-36/28). Stomatal conductance decreased with increasing CO2 while it increased up to T-31/23 and then declined. The interactive effects of CO2 and temperature resulted in a 30% decrease in transpiration. Although the leaves grown in elevated CO2 had high starch and sucrose concentrations, their content decreased with increasing temperature. Increasing temperature from T-26/18 to 36/28 increased RuBP carboxylase activity in the order of 121, 172 and 190 mol mg-1 chl h-1 at C-350, C-450 and C-700 respectively. Our data suggest that leaf photosynthesis in cotton benefited more from CO_2 enrichment at warm temperatures than at low growth temperature regimes.     

光照下菜豆叶片抗氰呼吸与光合作用关系的分析北大核心CSCD

为了进一步了解光照下植物呼吸作用的内在机理以及呼吸作用和光合作用的关系,该文研究了在光照下菜豆(Phaseolus vulgaris)叶片抗氰呼吸与光合作用的关系。研究发现,将黑暗下生长的菜豆幼苗叶片转到光照下10 h,总呼吸、抗氰呼吸以及抗氰呼吸在总呼吸中的比例均逐步上升;光照也导致了叶片叶绿体光合放氧和CO2固定的出现及其速率的增加,但光合放氧和CO2固定速率的增加均滞后于抗氰呼吸的增加。将黑暗下生长的叶片转到光照下之前用抗氰呼吸的抑制剂水杨基氧肟酸(SHAM)处理叶片,发现用SHAM处理并没有导致叶片在光照下光合放氧和CO2固定速率的明显变化,这也提示了黑暗下生长的叶片转至光照的过程中,抗氰呼吸和光合作用没有产生偶联。进一步研究发现,在黑暗中对叶片施加短时间的光照能够增加抗氰呼吸在总呼吸中的比例,但短时间的光照对叶片光合CO2固定速率没有影响。这些结果表明了光照对抗氰呼吸的诱导可以不依赖于光合作用,光照可能是作为一种直接的信号去诱导抗氰呼吸。
