In the present study, we investigated the antioxidative potential in leaves of the chromatic (CC) versus green (GC) Amaranthus tricolor L. under moderate high-temperature stress at 45°C. Before heat stress, CC had significantly higher levels of betacyanins
[about 3.2 mg g−1(FM)] than the green [1.8 mg g−1(FM) (p<0.01), while similar chlorophyll (Chl) content [about 2 mg g−1(FM)] was observed between both cultivars. After exposure to high temperature (45°C) for 6 days, betacyanins in leaves of
CC were remarkably increased (about 2 times of that in control samples grown at 30°C). In contrast, betacyanins in GC significantly
decreased by 56% in comparison with that of the control. Chl level in CC was higher than that in GC after heat stress for
6 days. Flavonoids and total phenolics in both cultivars were increased, but much more in CC. Significantly less H2O2 accumulation was observed in the leaves and stems of CC than in those of GC under heat stress. Interestingly, much stronger
circadian oscillation in fluorescence was observed in both cultivars after treatment at 45°C, which suggested that heat stress
stimulates endogenous rhythms of photosystem II (PSII). Under moderate high-temperature stress, Chl fluorescence parameters
Fv/Fm (maximum quantum yield of PSII), qP (coefficient of photochemical quenching), ΦPSII (effective PSII quantum yield), and ETR (electron transport rate) exhibited a gradual decrease, NPQ (nonphotochemical quenching)
showed a slight increase followed by a gradual decline, whereas Fo (minimum fluorescence of a dark-adapted leaf) increased continuously. In contrast to GC, after 120 h of high-temperature
treatment, CC exhibited significantly lower Fo level, and higher levels of Fv/Fm and NPQ. It is clear that PSII in CC was more stable than that in GC. The results indicate that betacyanins are an effective
antioxidant, and probably contribute greatly to the higher thermal stability of PSII and higher tolerance to heat stress. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to elucidate the genetic relationship between the specific leaf area (SLA) and the photosynthetic
performance of maize (Zea mays L.) as dependent on growth temperature. Three sets of genotypes: (i) 19 S5 inbred lines, divergently selected for high or low operating efficiency of photosystem II (ΦPSII) at low temperature, (ii) a population of 226 F2:3 families from the cross of ETH-DL3 × ETH-DH7, and (iii) a population of 168 F2:4 families from the cross of Lo964 × Lo1016 were tested at low (15/13 °C day/night) or at optimal (25/22 °C day/night) temperature.
The latter cross was originally developed to study QTLs for root traits. At 15/13 °C the groups of S5 inbred lines selected for high or low ΦPSII differed significantly for all the measured traits, while at optimal temperature the groups differed only with regard to
leaf greenness (SPAD). At low temperature, the SLA of these inbred lines was negatively correlated with ΦPSII (r = − 0.56, p < 0.05) and SPAD (r = − 0.80, p < 0.001). This negative relationship was confirmed by mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the two mapping populations.
A co-location of three QTLs for SLA with QTLs for photosynthesis-related traits was detected in both populations at 15/13 °C,
while co-location was not detected at 25/22 °C. The co-selection of SLA and ΦPSII in the inbred lines and the co-location of QTL for SLA, SPAD, and ΦPSII at 15/13 °C in the QTL populations strongly supports pleiotropy. There was no evidence that selecting for high ΦPSII at low temperature leads to a constitutively altered SLA. 相似文献

Predicted future climatic changes for the Mediterranean region give additional importance to the study of photooxidative stress
in local economic species subjected to combined drought and high-temperature conditions. Under this context, the impact of
these stresses on photosynthesis, energy partitioning, and membrane lipids, as well as the potential ability to attenuate
oxidative damage, were investigated in Ceratonia siliqua L. Two thermal regimes (LT: 25/18°C; HT: 32/21°C) and three soil water conditions (control, water stress, and rewetting)
were considered. HT exacerbated the adverse effects of water shortage on photosynthetic rates (P
N) and PSII function. The decrease in P
N was 33% at LT whereas at HT it was 84%. In spite of this, the electron transport rate (ETR) was not affected, which points
to an increased allocation of reductants to sinks other than CO2 assimilation. Under LT conditions, water stress had no significant effects on yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII) and yields of regulated (ΦNPQ) and nonregulated (ΦNO) energy dissipation. Conversely, drought induced a significant decrease of ΦPSII and a concomitant increase of ΦNO in HT plants, thereby favouring the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, signs of lipid peroxidation
damage were detected in HT plants, in which drought caused an increase of 40% in malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Concurrently,
a marked increase in proline content was observed, while the activities of catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were
unaffected. Despite the generation of a moderate oxidative stress response, C. siliqua revealed a great capability for photosynthetic recovery 36 h after rewatering, which suggests that the species can cope with
predicted climate change. 相似文献

Photochemical efficiency of PSII of Ctenanthe setosa was investigated to understand the photosynthetic adaptation mechanism under drought stress causing leaf rolling. Stomatal
conductance (g
s), the levels of photosynthetic pigments and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters were determined in leaves that had
four different visual leaf rolling scores from 1 to 4, opened after re-watering and mechanically opened at score 4. g
s value gradually decreased in adaxial and abaxial surfaces in relation to scores of leaf rolling. Pigment contents decreased
until score 3 but approached score 1 level at score 4. No significant variations in effective quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII), and photochemical quenching (qp) were found until score 3, while they significantly decreased at score 4. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) increased at
score 2 but then decreased. After re-watering, the Chl fluorescence and other physiological parameters reached to approximately
score 1 value, again. As for mechanically opened leaves, g
s decreased during drought period. The decrease in adaxial surface was higher than that of the rolled leaves. NPQ was higher
than that of the rolled leaves. ΦPSII and qp significantly declined and the decreases were more than those of the rolled leaves. In conclusion, the results indicate that
leaf rolling protects PSII functionality from damage induced by drought stress. 相似文献

The effects of elevated growth temperature (ambient + 3.5°C) and CO2 (700 μmol mol−1) on leaf photosynthesis, pigments and chlorophyll fluorescence of a boreal perennial grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) under different water regimes (well watered to water shortage) were investigated. Layer-specific measurements were conducted
on the top (younger leaf) and low (older leaf) canopy positions of the plants after anthesis. During the early development
stages, elevated temperature enhanced the maximum rate of photosynthesis (P
max) of the top layer leaves and the aboveground biomass, which resulted in earlier senescence and lower photosynthesis and biomass
at the later periods. At the stage of plant maturity, the content of chlorophyll (Chl), leaf nitrogen (NL), and light response of effective photochemical efficiency (ΦPSII) and electron transport rate (ETR) was significantly lower under elevated temperature than ambient temperature in leaves
at both layers. CO2 enrichment enhanced the photosynthesis but led to a decline of NL and Chl content, as well as lower fluorescence parameters of ΦPSII and ETR in leaves at both layers. In addition, the down-regulation by CO2 elevation was significant at the low canopy position. Regardless of climate treatment, the water shortage had a strongly
negative effect on the photosynthesis, biomass growth, and fluorescence parameters, particularly in the leaves from the low
canopy position. Elevated temperature exacerbated the impact of water shortage, while CO2 enrichment slightly alleviated the drought-induced adverse effects on P
max. We suggest that the light response of ΦPSII and ETR, being more sensitive to leaf-age classes, reflect the photosynthetic responses to climatic treatments and drought
stress better than the fluorescence parameters under dark adaptation. 相似文献

In lichens, ribitol is known as a carbon storage compound, an osmotic agens involved effectively in cell compartments protection
during dehydration of lichen thalli and as a cryoprotective compound. In our study, we investigated the effect of ribitol
on photochemical processes of photosynthesis in foliose lichens [Lasallia pustulata (L.) Mérat., Umbilicaria hirsuta (Sw. ex Westr.) Hoffm.] at low temperature. The effects of three concentrations of ribitol, added externally to thalli segments
on several chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters, were evaluated. The 72 h exposition to 8, 16, and 26 mM ribitol led
to a concentration-dependent increase in FV/FM, decrease in non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) but no change in quantum yield of photosystem II photochemistry (ΦPSII) values at −5 °C). At higher temperature (0, +5 °C), no effect of ribitol addition on the photosynthetic parameters was apparent. 相似文献

Detached leaves of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) experienced photoinhibition associated with sharp reductions in net photosynthetic rate (Pn), quantum efficiency of
PSII (ΦPSII) and photochemical quenching (qP) even though they were exposed to mild light intensity (400 μmol m−2 s−1 PPFD) at 28°C. Photoinhibition and the reduction in Pn, ΦPSII and qP, however, were significantly alleviated by 1 mg l−1 ABA, 0.1 mg l−1
N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea (CPPU) and 0.01 mg l−1 24-epibrassinolide (EBR). Higher concentrations, however, reduced the effects or even exacerbated the occurrence of photoinhibition.
Superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activity in leaves increased with the increases in ABA concentration within
1–100 mg l−1, CPPU concentration within 0.1–10 mg l−1 and EBR concentration within 0.01–1.0 mg l−1. Catalase and guaiacol peroxidase activity also increased with the increase in EBR concentration but CPPU and ABA treatments
at higher concentrations caused a decrease. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content decreased with the increase in CPPU concentration.
ABA and EBR, however, decreased MDA concentration only at 1 and 0.01 mg l−1, respectively. In conclusion, detached leaves had increased sensitivity to PSII photoinhibition. Photoinhibition-induced
decrease in photosynthesis, however, was significantly alleviated by EBR, CPPU and ABA at a proper concentration. 相似文献

Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence of warm day/cool night temperature exposed Phalaenopsis plants was measured hourly during 48 h to study the simultaneous temperature and irradiance response of the photosynthetic
physiology. The daily pattern of fluorescence kinetics showed abrupt changes of photochemical quenching (qP), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and quantum yield of photosystem II electron transport (ΦPSII) upon transition from day to night and vice versa. During the day, the course of ΦPSII and NPQ was related to the air temperature pattern, while maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) revealed a rather light dependent response. Information on these daily dynamics in fluorescence kinetics is important with
respect to meaningful data collection and interpretation. 相似文献

Caragana korshinskii seedlings maintain positive photosynthesis during short-term,severe drought stress 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seedling performance may determine plant distribution, especially in water-limited environments. Plants of Caragana korshinskii commonly grow in arid and semiarid areas in northwestern China, and endure water shortage in various ways, but little is
known about their performance when water shortage occurs at early growth stages. The water relations, photosynthetic activity,
chlorophyll (Chl) content and proline accumulation were determined in 1-year-old seedlings growing in a 1:1 mixture of Loess
soil and Perlite and subjected to (1) a water deficit for 20 days and (2) kept adequately watered throughout. The water deficit induced low (−6.1 MPa) predawn leaf water potentials (LWP), but did
not induce any leaf abscission. Stomatal conductance (g
s), leaf transpiration rate (E), and net photosynthetic rate (P
N) decreased immediately following the imposition of the water deficit, while the maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem
II (PSII) (Fv/Fm) and the effective quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII) decreased 15 days later. An early and rapid decrease in g
s, reduced E, increased Chl (a+b) loss, increased the apparent rate of photochemical transport of electrons through PSII (ETR)/P
N, as well as a gradual increase in non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence (NPQ) and proline may have contributed to preventing
ΦPSII from photodamage. C. korshinskii seedlings used a stress-tolerance strategy, with leaf maintenance providing a clear selective advantage, considering the
occasional rainfall events during the growing season. 相似文献

Inhibition of photosynthetic processes in foliose lichens induced by temperature and osmotic stress 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Negative effects of osmotically-induced dehydration of two foliose lichen species, Lasallia pustulata and Umbilicaria hirsuta, was studied at physiological (22 °C), low (5 °C) and freezing temperature (−10 °C), using chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence.
In both species, exposure to increasing sucrose concentrations led to a pronounced decrease in potential (FV/FM), and actual (Φ2) quantum yields of photochemical processes in photosystem 2. L. pustulata was more sensitive to osmotic stress, because comparable osmotic dehydration inhibited FV/FM and Φ2 more than in U. hirsuta. Critical concentration of sucrose that fully inhibited photochemical processes of photosynthesis was 2.5 M, which represented
water potential (Ψw) of −18.8 MPa. Decrease in background Chl fluorescence (F0) and increase in non-photochemical quenching (qN) revealed two phases of osmotic stress in lichens: phase I with no change
(Ψw 0 to −6.6 MPa) and phase II (Ψw −11.3 to −18.8 MPa) typical by substantial change in Chl fluorescence parameters. Effects of thallus anatomy on species-specific
response to osmotic dehydration is discussed and attributed to the results obtained by optical microscopy and Chl fluorescence
imaging technique. 相似文献

The effects of light and elevated temperatures on the efficiency of energy conversion in PSII [?PSII = (Fm′−Fs)/Fm′], pigment composition and heat tolerance of shade-acclimated Alocasia macrorrhiza were investigated. Leaf discs were exposed for 3 h to high light (HL; 1600 μmol photons · m−2 · s−1) or low light (LL; 20 μmol photons · m−2 · s−1) and a series of constant temperatures ranging from 30 to 49 °C. All HL treatments led to rapid and severe decreases in ?PSII. During the 2-h recovery period (LL, 25 °C) following the HL treatments, fast and slow recovery phases could be distinguished.
Leaf discs that had experienced HL and 30 °C recovered completely while no recovery of ?PSII was seen after a 3-h exposure to HL and 45 °C. A 3-h exposure to 45 °C at LL led to a less severe decrease in ?PSII and complete recovery was accomplished after less than 1 h. Under LL conditions a temperature of 49 °C was necessary to cause
an irreversible decrease in ?PSII, followed by necrosis the next day. Streptomycin had no effect on the degree of reduction and recovery in ?PSII discs exposed to HL and 35–45 °C, but partially inhibited recovery in discs exposed to HL and 30 °C. Streptomycin led to
a more severe decrease in ?PSII at LL and 49 °C and completely inhibited recovery. Streptomycin had no effect on the conversion of the xanthophyll-cycle
pigments during the treatment or the recovery. The epoxidation state was roughly the same in all leaf discs after a 3-h HL
treatment (0.270–0.346) irrespective of the exposure temperature. The back-conversion of zeaxanthin into violaxanthin after
a 2-h recovery period was only seen in leaf discs that had been exposed to HL and 30 °C. The thermotolerance of shade A. macrorrhiza leaves of 49.0 ± 0.7 °C (determined by fluorescence) coincided with the temperature at which damage occurred in leaf discs
exposed to LL. However, under HL the critical temperature under which necrosis occurred was much lower (42 °C). The thermotolerance
of A. macrorrhiza shade leaves could be increased by a short exposure (<20 min) to slightly elevated temperatures.

Chill-induced inhibition of photosynthesis was alleviated by 24-epibrassinolide pretreatment in cucumber during chilling and subsequent recovery 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
To investigate whether brassinosteroids (BRs) could be used to alleviate chill-induced inhibition of photosynthesis in cucumber
(Cucumis sativus L) during chilling and subsequent recovery, the effects of exogenously applied 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on gas exchange,
chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and antioxidant enzyme activity were studied. Cucumber plants were exposed to chilling
under low light (12/8°C and 100 μmol m−2 s−1 PPFD) for 3 days and then recovered under normal temperature and high irradiance (28/18°C and 600 μmol m−2 s−1 PPFD) for 6 days. Chilling significantly decreased the net photosynthetic rate (P
N) and stomatal conductance (g
s), and increased rate of O2
·− formation and H2O2 and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in cucumber leaves, but did not influence the optimal quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm). Chilling also decreased the effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII) and photochemical quenching (qP), but induced an increase in nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate
peroxidase (APX). High irradiance (600 μmol m−2 s−1) further aggravated the decrease in P
N, g
s, ΦPSII and qP, and enhanced the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and accumulation in the first day of recovery after
chilling. However, high irradiance induced a sharp decrease in Fv/Fm and NPQ, as well as the activities of SOD and APX on the first day of recovery. EBR pretreatment significantly alleviated
chill-induced inhibition of photosynthesis during chilling stress and subsequent recovery period, which was mainly due to
significant increases in g
s, ΦPSII, qP and NPQ. EBR pretreatment also reduced ROS generation and accumulation, and increased the activities of SOD and APX during
chilling and subsequent recovery. Those results suggest that EBR pretreatment alleviates the chill reduction in photosynthesis
and accelerated the recovery rate mainly by increasing of the stomatal conductance, the efficiency of utilization and dissipation
of leaf absorbed light, and the activity of the ROS scavenging system during chilling and subsequent recovery period. 相似文献

The effects of drought on photochemical efficiency of PSII in leaves of 22 hybrids of Festuca pratensis × Lolium multiflorum and Festuca pratensis × Lolium perenne and of Festuca pratensis cv. Skra were investigated. A significant decrease of electron transport efficiency (about 25%) in PSII (ΦPSII) was not found before 9 days of seedling growth in hydroponics with water potential (Ψw) equal to −0.8 MPa (simulated “soil drought”). The decrease of ΦPSII was similarly related to that of excitation energy capture by open PSII reaction centre (Fv’/Fm’) and also to the decrease
of the proportion of oxidized to reduced QA (photochemical fluorescence quenching, qp). According to the drought prolongation, variation of all parameters of fluorescence between genotypes significantly increased.
The seedlings of some genotypes were able to recover electron transport efficiency in PSII after increasing water potential
in nutrient solution (removing the “soil drought”).
When plants grew in containers with soil and 4 genotypes with the highest sensitivity of electron transport to drought (S)
as well as 4 genotypes with the highest tolerance (T) were compared 17 days after watering ceased, Ψw in leaves considerably decreased, but the differences between S and T genotypes were often not significant in this respect.
The differences between S and T genotypes, as values of Fv/Fm were concerned, also appeared small (about 5%), similarly as
that of Fv’/Fm’ (5%), qp (12%) and ΦPSII (about 15%).
Drought stress increased non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence (NPQ) 15 to 47% and this could protect the
PSII reaction centres from damages because of energy excess. The increase of NPQ was not closely connected with drought resistance
of plants because it was similar in some genotypes tolerant to dehydration as well as in sensitive ones.
The results of the experiments suggest that resources of genetic variability in Festulolium may be sufficient for revealing differences between genotypes on the basis of measurement of chlorophyll a fluorescence, as far as their tolerance to soil drought is concerned. As the tolerance of PSII against drought is high, the
determinations of fluorescence should be performed rather under severe stress. Such methods seem to be useful for selection
of genotypes with high drought tolerance as well as with the ability to at least partial repairing of PSII after drought. 相似文献

The photosynthetic performances of regenerated protoplasts of Bryopsis hypnoides, which were incubated in seawater for 1, 6, 12, and 24 h, were studied using chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and oxygen measurements.
Results showed that for the regenerated protoplasts, the pigment content, the ratios of photosynthetic rate to respiration
rate, the maximal photosystem II (PSII) quantum yield (Fv/Fm), and the effective PSII quantum yield (ΦPSII) decreased gradually along with the regeneration progress, indicated that during 24 h of regeneration there was a remarkable
reduction in PSII activity of those newly formed protoplasts. We assumed that during the cultivation progress the regenerated
protoplasts had different photosynthetic vigor, with only some of them able to germinate and develop into mature thalli. The
above results only reflected the photosynthetic features of the regenerated protoplasts at each time point as a whole, rather
than the actual photosynthetic activity of individual aggregations. Further investigation suggested a relationship between
the size of regenerated protoplasts and their viability. The results showed that the middle-sized group (diameter 20–60 μm)
retained the largest number of protoplasts for 24 h of growth. The changes in Fv/Fm and ΦPSII of the four groups of differently sized protoplasts (i.e. < 20, 20–60, 60–100, and > 100 μm) revealed that the protoplasts 20–60 μm in diameter had the highest potential activity
of the photosynthetic light energy absorption and conversion for several hours. 相似文献

Filtrates from crushed Moringa oleifera seeds were tested for their effects on growth and Photosystem II efficiency of the common bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. M. aeruginosa populations exhibited good growth in controls and treatments with 4- and 8-mg crushed Moringa seeds per liter, having similar growth rates of 0.50 (±0.01) per day. In exposures of 20- to 160-mg crushed Moringa seeds L−1, growth rates were negative and on average −0.23 (±0.05) .day−1. Presumably, in the higher doses of 20- to 160-mg crushed seeds per liter, the cyanobacteria died, which was supported by
a rapid drop in the Photosystem II efficiency (ΦPSII), while the ΦPSII was high and unaffected in 0, 4, and 8 mg L−1. High-density populations of M. aeruginosa (chlorophyll-a concentrations of ∼270 μg L−1) were reduced to very low levels within 2 weeks of exposure to ≥80-mg crushed seeds per liter. At the highest dosage of 160 mg L−1, the ΦPSII dropped to zero rapidly and remained nil during the course of the experiment (14 days). Hence, under laboratory conditions,
a complete wipeout of the bloom could be achieved. This is the first study that yielded evidence for cyanobactericidal activity
of filtrate from crushed Moringa seeds, suggesting that Moringa seed extracts might have a potential as an effect-oriented measure lessening cyanobacterial nuisance. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of limiting (1.96 × 10−9 mol l−1 total Cu, corresponding to pCu 14.8; where pCu = −log [Cu2+]) and toxic Cu concentrations up to 8.0 × 10−5 mol l−1 total Cu (equivalent to pCu 9.5) on growth rates and photosynthetic activity of exponentially grown Phaeocystis cordata, using batch and semi-continuous cultures. With pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry, we determined the photochemical
response of P. cordata to the various Cu levels, and showed contrasting results for the batch and semi-continuous cultures. Although maximum photosystem
II (PSII) quantum yield (ΦM) was optimal and constant in the semi-continuous P. cordata, the batch cultures showed a significant decrease in ΦM with culture age (0–72 h). The EC50 for the batch cultures was higher (2.0 × 10−10 mol l−1, pCu9.7), than that for the semi-continuous cultures (6.3 × 10−11 mol l−1, pCu10.2). The semi-continuous cultures exhibited a systematic and linear decrease in ΦM as Cu levels increased (for [Cu2+] < 1.0 × 10−12 mol l−1, pCu12.0), however, no effect of high Cu was observed on their operational PSII quantum yield (Φ′M). Similarly, semi-continuous cultures exhibited a significant decrease in ΦM, but not in Φ′M, because of low-Cu levels. Thus, Cu toxicity and Cu limitation damage the PSII reaction centers, but not the processes downstream
of PSII. Quenching mechanisms (NPQ and Q
n) were lower under high Cu relative to the controls, suggesting that toxic Cu impairs photo-protective mechanisms. PAM fluorometry
is a sensitive tool for detecting minor physiological variations. However, culturing techniques (batch vs. semi-continuous)
and sampling time might account for literature discrepancies on the effects of Cu on PSII. Semi-continuous culturing might
be the most adequate technique to investigate Cu effects on PSII photochemistry. 相似文献

Chilling stress and chilling tolerance of sweet potato as sensed by chlorophyll fluorescence 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We studied changes in the chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence components in chilling-stressed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) cv. Tainung 57 (TN57, chilling-tolerant) and cv. Tainung 66 (TN66, chilling-susceptible). Plants under 12-h photoperiod
and 400 μmol m−2 s−1 irradiance at 24/20 °C (day/night) were treated by a 5-d chilling period at 7/7 °C. Compared to TN66, TN57 exhibited a significantly
greater basic Chl fluorescence (F0), maximum fluorescence (Fm), maximum fluorescence yield during actinic irradiation (Fm′ ), and the quantum efficiency of electron transport through photosystem 2, PS2 (ΦPS2). Chilling stress resulted in decrease in the potential efficiency of PS2 (Fv/Fm), ΦPS2, non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ), non-photochemical quenching (qN), and the occurrence of chilling injury in TN66. Chilling increased the likelihood of photoinhibition, characterized by a
decline in the Chl fluorescence of both cultivars, and photoinhibition during low temperature stress generally occurred more
rapidly in TN66. 相似文献

This work aimed to evaluate if gas exchange and PSII photochemical activity in maize are affected by different irradiance
levels during short-term exposure to elevated CO2. For this purpose gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence were measured on maize plants grown at ambient CO2 concentration (control CO2) and exposed for 4 h to short-term treatments at 800 μmol(CO2) mol−1 (high CO2) at a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of either 1,000 μmol m−2 s−1 (control light) or 1,900 μmol m−2 s−1 (high light). At control light, high-CO2 leaves showed a significant decrease of net photosynthetic rate (P
N) and a rise in the ratio of intercellular to ambient CO2 concentration (C
i/C
a) and water-use efficiency (WUE) compared to control CO2 leaves. No difference between CO2 concentrations for PSII effective photochemistry (ΦPSII), photochemical quenching (qp) and nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) was detected. Under high light, high-CO2 leaves did not differ in P
N, C
i/C
a, ΦPSII and NPQ, but showed an increase of WUE. These results suggest that at control light photosynthetic apparatus is negatively
affected by high CO2 concentration in terms of carbon gain by limitations in photosynthetic dark reaction rather than in photochemistry. At high
light, the elevated CO2 concentration did not promote an increase of photosynthesis and photochemistry but only an improvement of water balance due
to increased WUE. 相似文献

Winter wheat is a grass species widely planted in northern and central China, where the increase of aerosols, air pollutants
and population density are causing significant reduction in solar irradiance. In order to investigate the adaptation of winter
wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Yangmai 13) to low irradiance conditions occurring in the downstream plain of the Yangtze River (China), plants were
subjected to four solar irradiance treatments (100%, 60%, 40%, and 20% of environmental incident solar irradiance). Significant
increases in chlorophyll (Chl) and xanthophyll (Xan) pigments, and decreases in Chl a/b and Xan/Chl ratios were observed in plants under low light. Light-response curves showed higher net photosynthetic rates
(P
N) in fully irradiated plants, that also showed a higher light-compensation point. Shaded plants maintained high values of
minimal fluorescence of dark-adapted state (Fo) and maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) that assess a lower degree of photoinhibition under low light. Reduced irradiance caused decreases in effective quantum
yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII), electron transport rate (ETR), and nonphotochemical quenching coefficient (qN), and the promotion of excitation pressure of PSII (1 − qP). The activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and peroxidase were high under reduced light whereas no
light-dependent changes in catalase activity were observed. Thiobarbituric acid reactive species content and electrolyte leakage
decreased under shaded plants that showed a lower photooxidative damage. The results suggest that winter wheat cv. Yangmai
13 is able to maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency under reduced solar irradiance and acclimates well to shading tolerance.
The photosynthetic and antioxidant responses of winter wheat to low light levels could be important for winter wheat cultivation
and productivity. 相似文献

Wild and cultivated varieties of Camellia oleifera Abel. were studied for the response of their photosynthetic apparatus to Al toxicity and low-P stress in pot experiments
with medium of acidic red soil. The effect was measured using physiological processes (growth, photosynthesis, chlorophyll
a fluorescence), and pigment contents. The results showed that Al toxicity and low-P stress affected the seedlings’ growth
and leaves’ photosynthesis, and the differences could be found between the two varieties. Lime plus P fertilizer treatment
led to higher increase in the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) in the cultivar than in the wild variety. Pn increase was positively
related to the increase of stomatal conductance (gs) and negatively correlated to intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) in both varieties. The maximum PSII quantum yield (Fv/Fm), the efficiency of excitation energy capture
by open PSII reaction centers (Fv’/Fm’), the photochemical quenching (qP) and the efficiency of open PSII centers (ΦPSII) significantly increased almost in all the treatment groups of both varieties, with the exception of an insignificant change
in qP value for P1Al1 group of cultivar. The insensitive qP and lower Pn for cultivar indicate a higher photosynthetic efficiency for the wild
variety, though the ΦPSII was not significant between the two varieties. The pigment contents of oil tea seedlings under treatments changed significantly
when lime and P were added, especially the Car/Chl ratio, suggesting carotenoid plays the role of photoprotection under high-Al
and low-P stresses. 相似文献
