As the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the atmosphere rises, photorespiratory loss of carbon in C3 photosynthesis will diminish and the net efficiency of light-limited photosynthetic carbon uptake should rise. We tested this expectation for Indiana strawberry (Duchesnea indica) growing on a Maryland forest floor. Open-top chambers were used to elevate the pCO2 of a forest floor habitat to 67 Pa and were paired with control chambers providing an ambient pCO2 of 38 Pa. After 3.5 years, D. indica leaves grown and measured in the elevated pCO2 showed a significantly greater maximum quantum efficiency of net photosynthesis (by 22%) and a lower light compensation point (by 42%) than leaves grown and measured in the control chambers. The quantum efficiency to minimize photorespiration, measured in 1% O2, was the same for controls and plants grown at elevated pCO2. This showed that the maximum efficiency of light-energy transduction into assimilated carbon was not altered by acclimation and that the increase in light-limited photosynthesis at elevated pCO2 was simply a function of the decrease in photorespiration. Acclimation did decrease the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and light-harvesting chlorophyll protein content of the leaf by more than 30%. These changes were associated with a decreased capacity for light-saturated, but not light-limited, photosynthesis. Even so, leaves of D. indica grown and measured at elevated pCO2 showed greater light-saturated photosynthetic rates than leaves grown and measured at the current atmospheric pCO2. In situ measurements under natural forest floor lighting showed large increases in leaf photosynthesis at elevated pCO2, relative to controls, in both summer and fall. The increase in efficiency of light-limited photosynthesis with elevated pCO2 allowed positive net photosynthetic carbon uptake on days and at locations on the forest floor that light fluxes were insufficient for positive net photosynthesis in the current atmospheric pCO2. 相似文献

Based on combined microsensor measurements of irradiance, temperature and O(2) , we compared light energy budgets in photosynthetic microbial mats, with a special focus on the efficiency of light energy conservation by photosynthesis. The euphotic zones in the three studied mats differed in their phototrophic community structure, pigment concentrations and thickness. In all mats, < 1% of the absorbed light energy was conserved via photosynthesis at high incident irradiance, while the rest was dissipated as heat. Under light-limiting conditions, the photosynthetic efficiency reached a maximum, which varied among the studied mats between 4.5% and 16.2% and was significantly lower than the theoretical maximum of 27.7%. The maximum efficiency correlated linearly with the light attenuation coefficient and photopigment concentration in the euphotic zone. Higher photosynthetic efficiency was found in mats with a thinner and more densely populated euphotic zone. Microbial mats exhibit a lower photosynthetic efficiency compared with ecosystems with a more open canopy-like organization of photosynthetic elements, where light propagation is not hindered to the same extent by photosynthetically inactive components; such components contributed about 40-80% to light absorption in the investigated microbial mats, which is in a similar range as in oceanic planktonic systems. 相似文献

CO2是光合作用的原料和底物,影响着光合作用的进程和光合产物的数量.利用Li-6400-40B同时测量大豆叶片在不同CO2浓度(300、400、500和600 μmol·mol-1)下的光合电子传递速率和光合作用对光的响应曲线,并用构建的光合作用对光响应机理模型拟合这些光响应曲线,获得大豆叶片一系列的光合参数、生理生态参数和捕光色素分子的物理参数.结果表明: 电子利用效率、最大电子传递速率和最大净光合速率随CO2浓度的升高而增加;光补偿点和暗呼吸速率随CO2浓度的升高而下降;光能利用效率和内禀(瞬时)水分利用效率随CO2浓度的升高而增加,不同CO2浓度下的最大光能利用效率和最大内禀(瞬时)水分利用效率之间存在显著差异,但不同CO2浓度下的最大羧化效率的差异不显著.CO2浓度的大小对光合作用中原初光反应存在一定程度的影响,即高CO2浓度有利于减小捕光色素分子处于最低激发态的最小平均寿命,以提高光能传递的速度及增加大豆光合电子流的利用效率. 相似文献

The photosynthetic performance of two transgenic Medicago truncatula lines engineered for water deficit (WD) resistance and a non-transformed line was assessed in a growth chamber experiment in well-watered, WD and stress recovery conditions. Direct gas exchange measurements showed that the transgenic plants had lower photosynthetic rates under well-hydrated conditions when compared to the non-transformed line. Photosynthesis light curves confirmed this difference but more importantly showed a progressive change in photosynthetic behaviour with intensity of dehydration. Dehydration led to sharp decreases of maximum photosynthesis (Amax ), photosynthetic apparent quantum yield (Φ) and apparent light compensation point. The recovery rates showed that all plant lines had a similar capacity to regain control photosynthetic values. Furthermore, results suggested that light was more limiting for photosynthesis than atmospheric CO2 concentration. The results are discussed in terms of the use of photosynthesis light response curves as a non-destructive and expeditious approach to select M. truncatula transformants with improved WD resistance. 相似文献

The convergent quantum yield hypothesis (CQY) assumes that thermodynamics and natural selection jointly limit variation in the maximum energetic efficiency of photosynthesis in low light under otherwise specified conditions (e.g. temperature and CO(2) concentration). A literature survey of photosynthetic quantum yield (phi) studies in terrestrial plants from C(3), C(4), and CAM photosynthetic types was conducted to test the CQY hypothesis. Broad variation in phi values from C(3) plants could partially be explained by accounting for whether the measuring conditions were permissive or restrictive for photorespiration. Assimilatory quotients (AQ), calculated from the CO(2) phi:O(2) phi ratios, indicated that 49% and 29% of absorbed light energy was allocated to carbon fixation and photorespiration in C(3) plants, respectively. The unexplained remainder (22%) may represent diversion to various other energy-demanding processes (e.g. starch synthesis, nitrogen assimilation). Individual and cumulative effects of these other processes on photosynthetic efficiency are poorly quantified. In C(4) plants, little variation in phi values was observed, consistent with the fact that C(4) plants exhibit little photorespiration. As before, AQ values indicate that 22% of absorbed light energy cannot be accounted for by carbon fixation in C(4) plants. Among all three photosynthetic types, the phi of photosynthesis in CAM plants is the least studied, appears to be highly variable, and may present the greatest challenge to the CQY hypothesis. The high amount of energy diverted to processes other than carbon fixation in C(3) and C(4) plants and the poor characterization of photosynthetic efficiency in CAM plants are significant deficiencies in our otherwise robust understanding of the energetics of terrestrial photoautotrophy. 相似文献

What is the maximum efficiency with which photosynthesis can convert solar energy into biomass? 总被引:11,自引:3,他引:8
Photosynthesis is the source of our food and fiber. Increasing world population, economic development, and diminishing land resources forecast that a doubling of productivity is critical in meeting agricultural demand before the end of this century. A starting point for evaluating the global potential to meet this goal is establishing the maximum efficiency of photosynthetic solar energy conversion. The potential efficiency of each step of the photosynthetic process from light capture to carbohydrate synthesis is examined. This reveals the maximum conversion efficiency of solar energy to biomass is 4.6% for C3 photosynthesis at 30 degrees C and today's 380 ppm atmospheric [CO2], but 6% for C4 photosynthesis. This advantage over C3 will disappear as atmospheric [CO2] nears 700 ppm. 相似文献

The effect of steady-state nitrogen limitation on photo-synthetic characteristics and growth efficiency was examined in the marine haptophyte Isochrysis galbana Green. Nitrate limited chemostats were maintained at nine dilution rates, ranging from 0.18-0.96 d?1, under continuous irradiance levels of 175 μmole quanta·m?2·s?1, an irradiance level which saturated photosynthesis at all growth rates. Nitrogen limitation led to an overall reduction in pigmentation and a decrease in the cellular concentration of reaction centers; however, the optical absorption cross section, normalized to Chl a, increased. Moreover, Chl c/a ratios were higher in nitrogen-limited cells: the change in Chl c/a ratios were correlated with an increase in the functional size of Photosystem II. Both light saturated photosynthetic rates normalized per cell and specific respiratory losses were positively linearly correlated with growth rate. Light saturated photosynthetic rates normalized to Chl a remained relatively insensitive to the rate of nitrogen supply. The minimum quantum requirement for gross photosynthetic oxygen evolution increased from 12.4 to 17.0 quanta/O2. At the growth irradiance, the quantum requirement increased 88%, from 19.9 to 37.5 quauta/O2 Photosynthesis/respiration ratios remained relatively constant at dilution rates greater than 35% of the maximum relative growth rate. Consequently, net growth efficiency, defined as the ratio of the specific growth rate, μ, to specific gross photosynthesis, P, also remained relatively constant over this range of growth rates averaging 85 ± 3%. 相似文献

为探讨垂柳(Salix babylonica)对苯酚污染物的耐受程度及其应用于苯酚污染环境修复的可行性,了解苯酚胁迫对垂柳光合作用生理过程的影响与限制机理,采用水培模拟胁迫实验方法,在5种苯酚溶液浓度(50、100、200、400和800mg·L–1)下,测定垂柳植株叶片光合气体交换及叶绿素荧光参数。结果表明,苯酚对垂柳光合作用具有显著的抑制作用,表现为叶片净光合速率(Pn)、最大光合速率(Pnmax)、光合量子效率(Φ)、PSII最大和实际光化学效率(Fv/Fm和ФPSII)等均明显下降。苯酚胁迫浓度越高,对垂柳光合作用的抑制程度越大;苯酚胁迫限制光合作用主要由非气孔因素引起。将垂柳用于苯酚污染的水体环境修复时,苯酚浓度应在200 mg·L–1以下,否则垂柳的光合作用效能会明显降低。垂柳光合作用生理活性耐受苯酚胁迫的极限浓度还需进一步实验研究。 相似文献

The very high light-harvesting efficiency of natural photosynthetic systems in conjunction with recent experiments, which showed quantum-coherent energy transfer in photosynthetic complexes, raised questions regarding the presence of non-trivial quantum effects in photosynthesis. Grover quantum search, quantum walks, and entanglement have been investigated as possible effects that lead to this efficiency. Here we explain the near-unit photosynthetic efficiency without invoking non-trivial quantum effects. Instead, we use non-equilibrium Green’s functions, a mesoscopic method used to study transport in nano-conductors to compute the transmission function of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex using an experimentally derived exciton Hamiltonian. The chlorosome antenna and the reaction center play the role of input and output contacts, connected to the FMO complex. We show that there are two channels for which the transmission is almost unity. Our analysis also revealed a dephasing-driven regulation mechanism that maintains the efficiency in the presence of varying dephasing potentials. 相似文献

Effects of manganese toxicity on photosynthesis of white birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica) seedlings 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The effects of manganese (Mn) toxicity on photosynthesis in white birch ( Betula platyphylla var. japonica ) leaves were examined by the measurement of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in hydroponically cultured plants. The net photosynthetic rate at saturating light and ambient CO2 (Ca ) of 35 Pa decreased with increasing leaf Mn concentrations. The carboxylation efficiency, derived from the difference in CO2 assimilation rate at intercellular CO2 pressures attained at Ca of 13 Pa and O Pa, decreased with greater leaf Mn accumulation. Net photosynthetic rate at saturating light and saturating CO2 (5%) also declined with leaf Mn accumulation while the maximum quantum yield of O2 evolution at saturating CO2 was not affected. The maximum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv /Fm ) was little affected by Mn accumulation in white birch leaves over a wide range of leaf Mn concentrations (2–17 mg g−1 dry weight). When measured in the steady state of photosynthesis under ambient air at 430 μmol quanta m−2 s−1 , the levels of photochemical quenching (qP) and the excitation capture efficiency of open PSII (F'v /F'm ) declined with Mn accumulation in leaves. The present results suggest that excess Mn in leaves affects the activities of the CO2 reduction cycle rather than the potential efficiency of photochemistry, leading to increases in QA reduction state and thermal energy dissipation, and a decrease in quantum yield of PSII in the steady state. 相似文献

In vitro regenerated shoots of Spathiphyllum from bioreactor were hydroponically cultured for 30 days. The response of plant growth and photosynthesis to different substrates,
photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), nutrient scheduling and electrical conductivity (EC) of hydroponic solution were studied.
The best plant growth response was observed in perlite based substrates with moderate PFF (70–100μmol m−2 s−1). Highest fresh weight, dry weight, shoot length, root length, root number and photosynthetic characteristics (chlorophyll,
carotenoids and Fv/Fm) was observed in continuous immersion system. Plant growth responses, photosynthetic rate, stomatal
conductance and transpiration rate were also found to be affected by EC levels. The optimum EC of a balanced nutrient solution
was recorded as 1.2 dS m−1. Photosynthetic activity was also characterized in terms of photochemical efficiency using measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence.
Fv/Fm (it is a measure of the intrinsic or maximum efficiency of PSII i.e. the quantum efficiency if all PSII centers were
open) also decreased significantly in plants grown under higher EC level; a decrease in this parameter indicates down regulation
of photosynthesis or photoinhibition. Antioxidant defense enzymes such as catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), peroxidase
(POD), glutathione reductase (GR) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) significantly elevated in the leaves and roots
of plantlets at higher EC levels. This increase could reflect a defense response to the cellular damage provoked by higher
EC levels in the nutrient solution. 相似文献

The present study was performed to investigate the adjustment of the rate parameters of the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis to the natural growth light in leaves of an overstorey species, Betula pendula Roth, a subcanopy species, Tilia cordata P. Mill., and a herb, Solidago virgaurea L., growing in a natural plant community in Järvselja, Estonia. Shoots were collected from the site and individual leaves were measured in a laboratory applying a standardized routine of kinetic gas exchange, Chl fluorescence and 820 nm transmittance measurements. These measurements enabled the calculations of the quantum yield of photosynthesis and rate constants of excitation capture by photochemical and non-photochemical quenchers, rate constant for P700+ reduction via the cytochrome b6f complex with and without photosynthetic control, actual maximum and potential (uncoupled) electron transport rate, stomatal and mesophyll resistances for CO2 transport, Km(CO2) and Vm of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) in vivo. In parallel, N, Chl and Rubisco contents were measured from the same leaves. No adjustment toward higher quantum yield in shade compared with sun leaves was observed, although relatively more N was partitioned to the light-harvesting machinery in shade leaves ( H. Eichelmann et al., 2004 ). The electron transport rate through the Cyt b6f complex was strongly down-regulated under saturating light compared with darkness, and this was observed under atmospheric, as well as saturating CO2 concentration. In vivo Vm measurements of Rubisco were lower than corresponding reported measurements in vitro, and the kcat per reaction site varied widely between leaves and growth sites. The correlation between Rubisco Vm and the photosystem I density was stronger than between Vm and the density of Rubisco active sites. The results showed that the capacity of the photosynthetic machinery decreases in shade-adjusted leaves, but it still remains in excess of the actual photosynthetic rate. The photosynthetic control systems that are targeted to adjust the photosynthetic rate to meet the plant's needs and to balance the partial reactions of photosynthesis, down-regulate partial processes of photosynthesis: excess harvested light is quenched non-photochemically; excess electron transport capacity of Cyt b6f is down-regulated by ΔpH-dependent photosynthetic control; Rubisco is synthesized in excess, and the number of activated Rubisco molecules is controlled by photosystem I-related processes. Consequently, the nitrogen contained in the components of the photosynthetic machinery is not used at full efficiency. The strong correlation between leaf nitrogen and photosynthetic performance is not due to the nitrogen requirements of the photosynthetic apparatus, but because a certain amount of energy must be captured through photosynthesis to maintain this nitrogen within a leaf. 相似文献

Analyses of chlorophyll fluorescence were undertaken to investigate the alterations in photosystem II (PSII) function during senescence of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Shannong 229) leaves. Senescence resulted in a decrease in the apparent quantum yield of photosynthesis and the maximal CO2 assimilation capacity. Analyses of fluorescence quenching under steady‐state photosynthesis showed that senescence also resulted in a significant decrease in the efficiency of excitation energy capture by open PSII reaction centers (F'v /F'm ) but only a slight decrease in the maximum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (F'v /F'm ). At the same time, a significant increase in non‐photochemical quenching (qN ) and a considerable decrease in photochemical quenching (qP ) were observed in senescing leaves. Rapid fluorescence induction kinetics indicated a decrease in the rate of QA reduction and an increase in the proportion of QB ‐non‐reducing PSII reaction during senescence. The decrease in both F'v /F'm and qP explained the decrease in the actual quantum yield of PSII electron transport ((φPSII ). We suggest that the modifications in PSII function, which led to the down‐regulation of photosynthetic electron transport, would be in concert with the lower demand for ATP and NADPH in the Calvin cycle which is often inhibited in senescing leaves. 相似文献

采用开顶式气室(OTC),在大田试验条件下系统研究了地表臭氧浓度增加对冬小麦光合作用的胁迫效应。结果表明,在(100±8)nmo.lmol-1的O3处理下,与对照相比,从抽穗期到成熟期冬小麦叶绿素a、叶绿素b和总叶绿素含量均呈先上升后降低的变化趋势,而类胡萝卜素的含量和Chla/b的比值则分别持续升高和下降,净光合速率和气孔导度在抽穗初期无明显下降,但是随着熏蒸时间的增加下降幅逐步变大。在整个试验期间冬小麦表观量子产额、单位面积叶片活性以及PSII最大光量子效率均无明显降低,而蒸腾速率、暗呼吸速率、光补偿点以及最大光合速率却受到较大程度的抑制。当采用(150±8)nmol.mol-1O3处理时,各生育期中小麦叶片类胡萝卜素含量、暗呼吸速率和光补偿点均显著高于对照组,其余参数均较对照组明显降低。以上结果表明,地表臭氧浓度增加对冬小麦光合作用的影响阈值在100 150 nmol.mol-1之间,且随着熏蒸时间的增加,叶片光合作用受抑制的程度逐步增强。 相似文献
