The responses to irradiance of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and photosystem 2 (PS2) electron transport were simultaneously studied by gas exchange and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence measurement in two-year-old apple tree leaves (Malus pumila Mill. cv. Tengmu No.1/Malus hupehensis Rehd). Net photosynthetic rate (P
N) was saturated at photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) 600-1 100 (mol m-2 s-1, while the PS2 non-cyclic electron transport (P-rate) showed a maximum at PPFD 800 mol m-2 s-1. With PPFD increasing, either leaf potential photosynthetic CO2 assimilation activity (Fd/Fs) and PS2 maximal photochemical activity (Fv/Fm) decreased or the ratio of the inactive PS2 reaction centres (RC) [(Fi – Fo)/(Fm – Fo)] and the slow relaxing non-photochemical Chl fluorescence quenching (qs) increased from PPFD 1 200 mol m-2 s-1, but cyclic electron transport around photosystem 1 (RFp), irradiance induced PS2 RC closure [(Fs – Fo)/Fm – Fo)], and the fast and medium relaxing non-photochemical Chl fluorescence quenching (qf and qm) increased remarkably from PPFD 900 (mol m-2 s-1. Hence leaf photosynthesis of young apple leaves saturated at PPFD 800 mol m-2 s-1 and photoinhibition occurred above PPFD 900 mol m-2 s-1. During the photoinhibition at different irradiances, young apple tree leaves could dissipate excess photons mainly by energy quenching and state transition mechanisms at PPFD 900-1 100 mol m-2 s-1, but photosynthetic apparatus damage was unavoidable from PPFD 1 200 mol m-2 s-1. We propose that Chl fluorescence parameter P-rate is superior to the gas exchange parameter P
N and the Chl fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm as a definition of saturation irradiance and photoinhibition of plant leaves. 相似文献

Summary During five different periods between Nov. 1982 and Aug. 1983, the diurnal patterns exhibited in photosynthetic CO2 uptake and stomatal conductance were observed under natural conditions on twigs of Cistus salvifolius, a Mediterranean semi-deciduous shrub which retains a significant proportion of its leaves through the summer drought. During the same periods, net photosynthesis at saturating CO2 partial pressure was measured on the same twigs as a function of irradiance at different temperatures. From these data, photosynthetic capacity, defined here as the CO2- and light-saturated net photosynthesis rate, was obtained as a function of leaf temperature. C. salvifolius is a winter growing species, shoot growth being initiated in Nov. and continuing through May. Photosynthetic capacity was quite high in Nov., March and June, exceeding 40 mol m-2 s-1 at optimum temperature. In Dec., photosynthetic capacity was somewhat reduced, perhaps due to low night-time temperatures (<5°C) during the measurement period. In Aug., capacity in oversummering shoots at optimum temperature fell to less than 8 mol m-2 s-1, due to water trees and perhaps leaf aging. Seasonal changes in maximal photosynthetic rates under ambient conditions were similar, and like those found in co-occurring evergreen sclerophylls. Like the evergreens, Cistus demonstrated considerable stomatal control of transpirational water loss, particularly in oversummering leaves. During each measurement period except Aug. when capacity was quite low, the maximum rates of net photosynthesis measured under ambient conditions were less than half the measured photosynthetic capacities at comparable temperatures, suggesting an apparent excess nitrogen investment in the photosynthetic apparatus. 相似文献

Photosynthetic induction responses to a sudden increase in photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) from lower background PPFD (0, 25, 50, and 100 mol m–2 s–1) to 1 000 mol m–2 s–1 were measured in leaves of Fagus crenata, Acer rufinerve Siebold & Zucc., and Viburnum furcatum growing in a gap and understory of a F. crenata forest in the Naeba mountains. In the gap, A. rufinerve exhibited more than 1.2-fold higher maximum net photosynthetic rate (P
Nmax) than F. crenata and V. furcatum. Meanwhile, in the understory F. crenata exhibited the highest P
Nmax among the three species. The photosynthetic induction period required to reach P
Nmax was 3–41 min. The photosynthetic responses to increase in PPFD depended on the background PPFD before increase in PPFD. The induction period required to reach P
Nmax was 2.5–6.5-fold longer when PPFD increased from darkness than when PPFD increased from 100 mol m–2 s–1. The induction period was correlated with initial P
N and stomatal conductance (g
s) relative to maximum values before increase in PPFD. The relationship was similar between the gap and the understory. As the background PPFD increased, the initial P
N and g
s increased, indicating that the degrees of biochemical and stomata limitations to dynamic photosynthetic performance decreased. Therefore, photosynthetic induction responses to increase in PPFD became faster with the increasing background PPFD. The differences in time required to reach induction between species, as well as between gap and understory, were mainly due to the varying of relative initial induction states in P
N and g
s at the same background PPFD. 相似文献

Leaves of Populus balsamifera grown under full natural sunlight were treated with 0, 1, or 2 l SO2·1-1 air under one of four different photon flux densities (PFD). When the SO2 exposures took place in darkness or at 300 mol photons·m-2·s-1, sulfate accumulated to the levels predicted by measurements of stomatal conductance during SO2 exposure. Under conditions of higher PFD (750 and 1550 mol·m-2·s-1), however, the predicted levels of accumulated sulfate were substantially higher than those obtained from anion chromatography of the leaf extracts. Light-and CO2-saturated capacity as well as the photon yield of photosynthetic O2 evolution were reduced with increasing concentration of SO2. At 2 l SO2·1-1 air, the greatest reductions in both photosynthetic, capacity and photon yield occurred when the leaves were exposed to SO2 in the dark, and increasingly smaller reductions in each occurred with increasing PFD during SO2 exposure. This indicates that the inhibition of photosynthesis resulting from SO2 exposure was reduced when the exposure occurred under conditions of higher light. The ratio F
v/F
M (variable/maximum fluorescence emission) for photosyntem II (PSII), a measure of the photochemical efficiency of PSII, remained unaffected by exposure of leaves to SO2 in the dark and exhibited only moderate reductions with increasing PFD during the exposure, indicating that PSII was not a primary site of damage by SO2. Pretreatment of leaves with SO2 in the dark, however, increased the susceptibility of PSII to photoinhibition, as such pretreated leaves exhibited much greater reductions inF

Summary The spatial pattern of foliage removal from a tussock grass can influence regrowth through effects on daily carbon gain (CERd). This field study examined the extent to which tussock photosynthetic responses to different defoliation patterns were associated with changes in whole-canopy attributes (e.g., foliage age structure, canopy light microclimate). During the spring growing season, 60% of the green foliage area was removed from individual Agropyron desertorum tussocks with scissors in different spatial patterns. These patterns represented extremes of defoliation patterns that might be inflicted by natural herbivores. Tussock photosynthesis (per unit foliage area) at high light (2000 mol photons m–2 s–1 between 400 and 700 nm; P2000) increased following clipping with all defoliation patterns. The increases in P2000 were greater when leaves were removed from low in the tussock (older leaves) than if leaves high in the canopy (younger leaves) were removed. These relative changes of P2000 among clipping patterns paralleled the responses of CERd and regrowth from an earlier study. Furthermore, the changes in P2000 corresponded with increases in the proportion of foliage within the tussocks that was directly illuminated at midday. The greater photosynthesis of tussocks after lower-leaf removal was directly related to a higher proportion of younger foliage and a smaller fraction of foliage shaded within the tussock. In a dense canopy, such as these grass tussocks, the influence of defoliation on whole-canopy attributes may be of primary importance to whole-plant photosynthetic responses. 相似文献

Leaf photosynthetic rates were measured on field-grown soybeans during the 1980 season. Comparisons were made between different cultivars and isolines representative of maturity groups I–IV. Mature, fully expanded leaves at different nodes on the plant were measured in high light to determine which had the highest potential photosynthetic rates at any one time. Successive leaves during the growing season had maximum rates which increased from about 22 mol CO2 m-2 s-1 on 25 June to a peak of 30–44 mol CO2 m-2 s-1 in early August.The persistency and eventual decline in the maximum rate was associated with the maturity group and related dates of flowering, pod fill and onset of senescence. Early maturing cultivars (groups I and II) had higher peak rates (38–44 mol CO2 m-2 s-1) than later maturing cultivars (30–35 mol CO2 m-2 s-1, groups III and IV). However, the photosynthetic rates of early maturing cultivars declined rapidly after attaining their peak, whereas the leaves of later maturing cultivars maintained their photosynthetic activity for much longer. 相似文献

We investigated to what extent south-exposed leaves (E-leaves) of the evergreen ivy (Hedera helix L.) growing in the shadow of two deciduous trees suffered from photoinhibition of photosynthesis when leaf-shedding started in autumn. Since air temperatures drop concomitantly with increase in light levels, changes in photosynthetic parameters (apparent quantum yield,
i and maximal photosynthetic capacity of O2 evolution, Pmax; chlorophyll-a fluorescence at room temperature) as well as pigment composition were compared with those in north-exposed leaves of the same clone (N-leaves; photosynthetic photon flux density PPFD< 100 mol · m–2 · s–2) and phenotypic sun leaves (S-leaves; PPFD up to 2000 mol · m–2 · s–1).In leaves exposed to drastic light changes during winter (E-leaves) strong photoinhibition of photosynthesis could be observed as soon as the incident PPFD increased in autumn. In contrast, in N-leaves the ratio of variable fluorescence to maximum fluorescence (FV/FMm) and
i did not decline appreciably prior to severe frosts (up to -12° C) in January. At this time,
i was reduced to a similar extent in all leaves, from about 0.073 mol O2 · mol–1 photons before stress to about 0.020. Changes in
i were linearly correlated with changes in fv/fm (r = 0.955). The strong reduction in FV/FM on exposure to stress was caused by quenching in FM. The initial fluorescence (F0), however, was also quenched in all leaves. The diminished fluorescence yield was accompanied by an increase in zeaxanthin content. These effects indicate that winter stress in ivy primarily induces an increase in non-radiative energy-dissipation followed by photoinhibitory damage of PSII. Although a pronounced photooxidative bleaching of chloroplast pigments occurred in January (especially in E-leaves), photosynthetic parameters recovered completely in spring. Thus, the reduction in potential photosynthetic yield in winter may be up to three times greater in leaves subjected to increasing light levels than in leaves not exposed to a changing light environment.Abbreviations and Symbols F0, FM

The C4 grass Echinochloa polystachya, which forms dense and extensive monotypic stands on the Varzea floodplains of the Amazon region, provides the most productive natural higher plant communities known. The seasonal cycle of growth of this plant is closely linked to the annual rise and fall of water level over the floodplain surface. Diurnal cycles of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration were measured at monthly intervals, in parallel with measurements of leaf area index, canopy light interception and biomass. By artificial manipulation of the light flux incident on leaves in the field light-response curves of photosynthesis at the top and near to the base of the canopy were generated. Fitted light-response curves of CO2 uptake were combined with information of leaf area index, incident light and light penetration of the canopy to estimate canopy rates of photosynthesis. Throughout the period in which the floodplains were submerged photosynthetic rates of CO2 uptake (A) for the emergent leaves were high with a mean of c. 30 mol m-2 s-1 at mid-day and occasional values of 40 mol m-2 s-1. During the brief dry phase, when the floodplain surface is uncovered, there was a significant depression of A, with mid-day mean values of c. 17 mol m-2 s-1. This corresponded with a c. 50% decrease in stomatal conductance, and a c. 35% depression in the ratio of the leaf inter-cellular to external CO2 concentration (c
i/c
a). During the dry phase, a midday depression of rates of CO2 assimilation was observed. The lowest leaf area index (F) was c. 2 in November–December, when the flood plain was dry, and again in May, when the rising floodwaters were submerging leaves faster than they were replaced. The maximum F of c. 5 was in August when the floodwaters were receding rapidly. Canopy light interception efficiency varied from 0.90 to 0.98. Calculated rates of canopy photosynthesis exceeded 18 mol C m-2 mo-1 throughout the period of flooding, with a peak of 37 mol C m-2 mo-1 in August, but declined to 13 mol C m-2 mo-1 in November during the dry phase. Estimated uptake of carbon by the canopy from the atmosphere, over 12 months, was 3.57 kg C m-2. This was insufficient to account for the 3.99 kg C m-2 of net primary production, measured simultaneously by destructive harvesting. It is postulated that this discrepancy might be accounted for by internal diffusion of CO2 from the CO2-rich waters and sediments via the roots and stems to the sites of assimilation in the leaves. 相似文献

Summary Responses to clipping and bison grazing in different environmental contexts were examined in two perennial grass species, Andropogon gerardii and Panicum virgatum, on the Konza Prairie in northeastern Kansas. Grazed tillers had lower relative growth rates (RGR) than clipped tillers following defoliation but this difference was transient and final biomass was not affected by mode of defoliation. Grazed tillers of both species had higher RGR throughout the season than ungrazed tillers, resulting in exact compensation for tissue lost to defoliation. However, A. gerardii tillers which had been grazed repeatedly the previous year (1988) had reduced relative growth rates, tiller biomass and tiller survival in 1989. This suggests that the short-term increase in aboveground relative growth rates after defoliation had a cost to future plant growth and tiller survival.In general, the two species had similar responses to defoliation but their responses were altered differentially by fire. The increase in RGR following defoliation of A. gerardii was relatively greater on unburned than burned prairie, and was influenced by topographic position. P. virgatum responses to defoliation were similar in burned and unburned prairie. Thus grazing, fire, and topographical position all interact to influence tiller growth dynamics and these two species respond differently to the fire and grazing interaction. In addition, fire may interact with grazing pattern to influence a plants' grazing history and thus its long-term performance. 相似文献

This study reports the effects of light availability during the acclimatization phase on photosynthetic characteristics of micropropagated plantlets of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) and of a chestnut hybrid (Castanea sativa × C. crenata). The plantlets were acclimatized for 4 weeks (grapevine) or 6 weeks (chestnut), under two irradiance treatments, 150 and 300 mol m–2 s–1 after in vitro phases at 50 mol m–2 s–1. For both treatments and both species, leaves formed during acclimatization (so-called `new leaves') showed higher photosynthetic capacity than the leaves formed in vitro either under heterotrophic or during acclimatization (so-called `persistent leaves'), although lower than leaves of young potted plants (so-called `greenhouse leaves'). In grapevine, unlike chestnut, net photosynthesis and biomass production increased significantly with increased light availability. Several parameters associated with chlorophyll a fluorescence indicated photoinhibition symptoms in chestnut leaves growing at 300 mol m–2 s–1. The results taken as a whole suggest that 300 mol m–2 s–1 is the upper threshold for acclimatization of chestnut although grapevine showed a better response than chestnut to an increase in light. 相似文献

Measurement of the light response of photosynthetic CO2 uptake is often used as an implement in ecophysiological studies. A method is described to calculate photosynthetic parameters, such as the maximum rate of whole electron transport and dissimilative respiration in the light, from the light response of CO2 uptake.

Summary
Abies nordmanniana (Stev.) Spach was cultivated in rooting media either rich in nutrients (control) or low in magnesium (low Mg) or low in magnesium and nitrogen (low Mg-N), respectively. Intact, attached needles were exposed, in the light (460 mol photons m-2 s-1), to an atmosphere containing 1 ppm SO2 for 5 h. Measurements of light- and CO2-saturated rates of photosynthetic O2 evolution, A
max, were performed before and after SO2 treatments. In needles from well fertilized plants, A
max was high (about 50 mol m-2 s-1) and was not affected by SO2. Needles from low-Mg and low-Mg-N plants had lower photosynthetic rates and showed a marked decline in A
max in response to the SO2 treatment. Stomatal conductance was similar in the three groups of plants during SO2 treatments.Abbreviations

Morphological and physiological measurements on individual leaves of Leucaena leucocephala seedlings were used to study acclimation to neutral shading. The light-saturated photosynthetic rate (Pn max) ranged from 19.6 to 6.5 mol CO2 m–2 s–1 as photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) during growth decreased from 27 to 1.6 mol m–2 s–1. Stomatal density varied from 144 mm–2 in plants grown in high PPFD to 84 mm–2 in plants grown in low PPFD. Average maximal stomatal conductance for H2O was 1.1 in plants grown in high PPFD and 0.3 for plants grown in low PPFD. Plants grown in low PPFD had a greater total chlorophyll content than plants grown in high PPFD (7.2 vs 2.9 mg g–1 on a unit fresh weight basis, and 4.3 vs 3.7 mg dm–2 on a unit leaf area basis). Leaf area was largest when plants were grown under the intermediate PPFDs. Leaf density thickness was largest when plants were grown under the largest PPFDs. It is concluded that L. leucocephala shows extensive ability to acclimate to neutral shade, and could be considered a facultative shade plant.Abbreviations

This study reports survival and physiological responses of micropropagated Ceratonia siliqua L. cvs. Galhosa and Mulata plants during ex vitro acclimatization under ambient (AC; 330 mol mol–1) or elevated (EC; 810 mol mol–1) CO2 concentration and a photosynthetic photon flux density of 125 mol m–2 s–1. CO2 enrichment during acclimatization did not improve survival rate that was around 80 % for both treatments. Eight weeks after ex vitro transplantation, photosynthetic capacity and apparent quantum yield in acclimatized leaves were higher in comparison with those in in vitro-grown leaves, without any significant difference between CO2 treatments. Chlorophyll content increased after acclimatization. However, EC led to a decrease in the total amount of chlorophyll in new leaves of both cultivars, compared to those grown at AC. Soluble sugars and starch contents were not markedly affected by growth EC, although starch had significantly increased after transfer to ex vitro conditions. EC induced an increase in the stem elongation and in the effective life of leaves, and a decrease in the number of new leaves. 相似文献

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis was induced in intact kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C. F. Liang et A. R. Ferguson) leaves grown at two photon flux densities (PFDs) of 700 and 1300 mol·m-2·s-1 in a controlled environment, by exposing the leaves to PFD between 1000 and 2000 mol·m-2·s-1 at temperatures between 10 and 25°C; recovery from photoinhibition was followed at the same range of temperatures and at a PFD between 0 and 500 mol·m-2·s-1. In either case the time-courses of photoinhibition and recovery were followed by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence at 692 nm and 77K and by measuring the photon yield of photosynthetic O2 evolution. The initial rate of photoinhibition was lower in the high-light-grown plants but the long-term extent of photoinhibition was not different from that in low-light-grown plants. The rate constants for recovery after photoinhibition for the plants grown at 700 and 1300 mol·m-2·s-1 or for those grown in shade were similar, indicating that differences between sun and shade leaves in their susceptibility to photoinhibition could not be accounted for by differences in capacity for recovery during photoinhibition. Recovery following photoinhibition was increasingly suppressed by an increasing PFD above 20 mol·m-2·s-1, indicating that recovery in photoinhibitory conditions would, in any case, be very slow. Differences in photosynthetic capacity and in the capacity for dissipation of non-radiative energy seemed more likely to contribute to differences in susceptibility to photoinhibition between sun and shade leaves of kiwifruit.Abbreviations and symbols

Photosynthetic induction times and photoinhibition in relation to simulated sunflecks (sudden increase of irradiance from
20 to 1,500 μmol m−2 s−1) were examined in leaves of co-occurring Fagus lucida (a deciduous tree) and Castanopsis lamontii (an evergreen tree) saplings grown either in a beech forest understory or in an adjacent open site during a late rainy season.
Two hypotheses were tested: (1) understory leaves would display faster photosynthetic induction times and greater photoinhibition
than open-grown leaves; and (2) evergreen species would have slower photosynthetic induction times and lighter photoinhibition
than deciduous species. Times to reach 90% of maximal CO2 assimilation rate (t
90%A
) and stomatal conductance
did not differ between species, but showed faster by 3–5 min in open-grown leaves than understory leaves due to higher initial
stomatal conductance (g
s
initial) and induction state 1 min into simulated sunflecks (IS1min) in the former. Our analysis across the published data on photosynthetic induction of 48 broad-leaved woody species again
revealed the negative correlations between t
90%A
and either g
s initial or IS1min, and the similarity of t
90%A
and between evergreen and deciduous species. Measurements of maximum PSII photochemical efficiency (F
v/F
m) indicated that photoinhibition occurred in saplings in any of the growth habitats during sunfleck-induced photosynthetic
induction. Despite no interspecific differences in the degree of photoinhibition, understory leaves of both species suffered
heavier photoinhibition than open-grown leaves, as indicated by a stronger decrease of F
v/F
m in the former. Dynamic changes in the quantum yields of PSII photochemistry and ΔpH- and xanthophyll-regulated thermal dissipation
and adjustments in the partitioning of electron flow between assimilative and non-assimilative processes were functional to
resist photoinhibition. However, such photoinhibition, together with stomatal and biochemical limitations, would decrease
carbon gain during simulated sunflecks, particularly in understory leaves. 相似文献

Summary The dependence of net carbon gain during lightflecks (artificial sunflecks) on leaf induction state, lightfleck duration, lightfleck photosynthetic photon flux density (PFD), and the previous light environment were investigated in A. macrorrhiza and T. australis, two Australian rainforest species. The photosynthetic efficiency during lightflecks was also investigated by comparing observed values of carbon gain with predicted values based on steady-state CO2 assimilation rates. In both species, carbon gain and photosynthetic efficiency increased during a series of five 30-or 60-s lightflecks that followed a long period of low light; efficiency was linearly related to leaf induction state.In fully-induced leaves of both species, efficiency decreased and carbon gain increased with lightfleck duration. Low-light grown A. macrorrhiza had greater efficiency than predicted based on steady-state rates (above 100%) for lightflecks less than 40 s long, whereas leaves grown in high light had efficiencies exceeding 100% only during 5-s lightflecks. The efficiency of leaves of T. australis ranged from 58% for 40-s lightflecks to 96% for 5-s lightflecks.In low-light grown leaves of A. macrorrhiza, photosynthetic responses to lightflecks below 120 mol m-2 s-1 were not affected significantly by the previous light level. However, during lightflecks at 530 mol m-2 s-1, net carbon gain and photosynthetic efficiency of leaves previously exposed to low light levels were significantly reduced relative to those of leaves previously exposed to 120 and 530 mol m-2 s-1.These results indicate that, in shade-tolerant species, net carbon gain during sunflecks can be enhanced over values predicted from steady-state CO2 assimilation rates. The degree of enhancement, if any, will depend on sunfleck duration, previous light environment, and sunfleck PFD. In forest understory environments, the temporal pattern of light distribution may have far greater consequences for leaf carbon gain than the total integrated PFD.Supported by National Science Foundation Grant BSR 8217071 and USDA Grant 85-CRCR-1-1620 相似文献

Photosynthetic characteristics of Cymbidium plantlet in vitro 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The photosynthetic characteristics of the Cymbidium plantlet in vitro cultured on Hyponex-agar medium with 2% sucrose were determined based on the measurements of CO2 concentration inside and outside of the culture vessels. The CO2 measurements were made with a gas chromatograph at a PPF (photosynthetic photon flux) of 35, 102 and 226 mol m-2 s-1, a chamber air temperature of 15, 25 and 35°C and a CO2 concentration outside the vessel of approximately 350, 1100 and 3000 ppm. The net photosynthetic rates were determined on individual plantlets and were expressed on a dry weight basis. The steady-state CO2 concentration during the photoperiod was lower inside the vessel than outside the vessel at any PPF greater than 35 mol m-2s-1 and at any chamber air temperature. The photosynthetic response curves relating the net photosynthetic rate, PPF, and CO2 concentration in the vessel and chamber air temperature were similar to those for Cymbidium plants grown outside and other C3 plants grown outside under shade. The results indicate that CO2 enrichment for the plantlets in vitro at a relatively high PPF would promote photosynthesis and hence the growth of chlorophyllous shoots/plantlets in vitro and that the plantlets in vitro would make photoautotrophic growth under environmental conditions favorable for photosynthesis.Abbreviations Cin

The photosynthetic responses of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) leaves to environmental and ontogenetic factors were determined on plants grown in the field under high radiation and high nitrogen fertilization. Response curves showed net photosynthesis to only approach light saturation at a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 2200 mol m-2 s-1, with rates of approx. 40 mol CO2 m-2 s-1. A broad temperature optimum was observed between 25° and 35°C, with 50% of the photosynthetic rates remaining even at 47°C. The high rate, the lack of saturation at the equivalent of full sunlight, and the tolerance to high temperature of tomato were unusual in light of the literature on this C3 species. Apparently, acclimation to the field environment of high radiation and hot daytime temperature, coupled with the high nitrogen nutrition, made possible the high photosynthetic performance normally associated with C4 species.Photosynthetic ability of the leaf reached a maximum near the time of its full expansion and declined steadily thereafter, regardless of the time of leaf initiation. Leaf nitrogen content showed a similar decline with leaf ontogeny. Photosynthesis was linearly correlated with nitrogen content, whether the nitrogen variation was due to leaf age or rates of nitrogen fertilization. Internal CO2 concentrations (Ci) of the leaf indicated that stomatal function was well coordinated with photosynthetic capacity as leaf age and fluence rate varied down to a PPFD of 500 mol m-2 s-1. As PPFD decreased further, there was less stomatal control and Ci increased to as high as 320 bar bar-1.Dark respiration was highest for expanding leaves and increased nearly exponentially with temperature. Respiration was also highest for young and expanding fruits, and next highest for fruits just turning pink. Fruit respiration increased approximately linearly with temperature, and was estimated to be an important component of the CO2 flux of the plant near maturity because of the heavy fruit load and low leaf photosynthesis at that time. The results are significant for model simulation of tomato productivity in the field. 相似文献
