The possible mechanism(s) by which supplemental UV-B radiation alleviates the adverse effects of summer drought in Mediterranean pines (Petropoulou et al. 1995) were investigated with seedlings of Pinus pinea. Plants received ambient or ambient plus supplemental UV-B radiation (biologically equivalent to a 15% ozone depletion over Patras, 38.3° N, 29.1° E) and natural precipitation or additional irrigation. Treatments started on 1 February, 1994 and lasted up to the end of the dry period (29 September). In well-watered plants, UV-B radiation had no influence on photosystem II photochemical efficiency and biomass accumulation. Water stressed plants suffered from needle loss and reduced photosystem II photochemical efficiency during the summer. These symptoms, however, were less pronounced in plants receiving supplemental UV-B radiation, resulting in higher total biomass at plant harvest. Laboratory tests showed that enhanced UV-B radiation did not improve the tolerance of photosystem II against drought, high light, high temperature and oxidative stress. Enhanced UV-B radiation, however, improved the water economy of water stressed plants, as judged by measurements of needle relative water content. In addition, it caused an almost two-fold increase of cuticle thickness. No such UV-B radiation effects were observed in well-watered pines. The results indicate that the combination of water stress and UV-B radiation may trigger specific responses, enabling the plants to avoid excessive water loss and, thereby, maintain a more efficient photosynthetic apparatus during the summer. The extent of this apparently positive UV-B radiation effect would depend on the amount of summer precipitation.

Influence of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on photosynthetic and growth characteristics in field-grown cassava (Manihot esculentum Crantz) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of ultraviolet-B (UV-B between 290 and 320 nm) on photosynthesis and growth characteristics were investigated in field grown cassava (Manihot esculentum Crantz). Plants were grown at ambient and ambient plus a 5.5kJ m?2 d?1 supplementation of UV-B radiation for 95 d. The supplemental UV-B fluence used in this experiment simulated a 15% depletion in stratospheric ozone at the equator (0°N). Carbon dioxide exchange, oxygen evolution, and the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) were determined for fully expanded leaves after 64–76 d of UV-B exposure. AH plants were harvested after 95 d of UV-B exposure, assayed for chlorophyll and UV-B absorbing compounds, and separated into leaves, petioles, stems and roots. Exposure to UV-B radiation had no effect on in situ rates of photosynthesis or dark respiration. No difference in the concentration of UV-B absorbing compounds was observed between treatments. A 2-d daytime diurnal comparison of Fv to Fm ratios indicated a significant decline in Fv/Fm ratios and a subsequent increase in photoinhibition under enhanced UV-B radiation if temperature or PPF exceeded 35°C or 1800μmol m?2 s?1, respectively. However, UV-B effects on fluorescence kinetics appeared to be temporal since maximal photosynthetic rates as determined by oxygen evolution at saturated CO2 and PPF remained unchanged. Although total biomass was unaltered with UV-B exposure, alterations in the growth characteristics of cassava grown with supplemental UV-B radiation are consistent with auxin destruction and reduced apical dominance. Changes in growth included an alteration of biomass partitioning with a significant increase in shoot/root ratio noted for plants receiving supplemental UV-B radiation. The increase in shoot/root ratio was due primarily to a significant decrease in root weight (–32%) with UV-B exposure. Because root production determines the harvest-able portion of cassava, UV-B radiation may still influence the yield of an important tropical agronomic species, even though photosynthesis and total dry biomass may not be directly affected. 相似文献

Response of photosynthesis to high light and drought for Arabidopsis thaliana grown under a UV-B enhanced light regime 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a light regime that included ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (6 kJ m−2 d−1) had similar light-saturated photosynthetic rates but up to 50% lower stomatal conductance rates, as compared to plants grown
without UV-B radiation. Growth responses of Arabidopsis to UV-B radiation included lower leaf area (25%) and biomass (10%)
and higher UV-B absorbing compounds (30%) and chlorophyll content (52%). Lower stomatal conductance rates for plants grown
with UV-B radiation were, in part, due to lower stomatal density on the adaxial surface. Plants grown with UV-B radiation
had more capacity to down regulate photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) as shown by up to 25% lower φPSII and 30% higher non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence under saturating light. These contributed to a smaller
reduction in the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (F
v/F
m), greater dark-recovery of F
v/F
m, and higher light-saturated carbon assimilation and stomatal conductance and transpiration rates after a four-hour high light
treatment for plants grown with UV-B radiation. Plants grown with UV-B were more tolerant to a 12 day drought treatment than
plants grown without UV-B as indicated by two times higher photosynthetic rates and 12% higher relative water content. UV-B-grown
plants also had three times higher proline content. Higher tolerance to drought stress for Arabidopsis plants grown under
UV-B radiation may be attributed to both increased proline content and decreased stomatal conductance. Growth of Arabidopsis
in a UV-B-enhanced light regime increased tolerance to high light exposure and drought stress. 相似文献

Abies faxoniana is a key species in reforestation processes in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of China. The changes in growth,
photosynthesis and nutrient status of A. faxoniana seedlings exposed to enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B), nitrogen supply and their combination were investigated. The experimental
design included two levels of UV-B treatments (ambient UV-B, 11.02 KJ m−2 day−1; enhanced UV-B, 14.33 KJ m−2 day−1) and two nitrogen levels (0; 20 g N m−2). The results indicated that: (1) enhanced UV-B significantly caused a marked decline in growth parameters, net photosynthetic
rate (Pn), photosynthetic pigments and F
v/F
m, (2) supplemental nitrogen supply increased the accumulation of total biomass, Pn, photosynthetic pigments and F
v/F
m under ambient UV-B, whereas supplemental nitrogen supply reduced Pn, and not affect biomass under enhanced UV-B, (3) enhanced
UV-B or nitrogen supply changed the concentration of nutrient elements of various organs. 相似文献

Floating and nodularin-producing strains of Nodularia spumigena from the Baltic Sea are regarded as belonging to one species. However, intraspecific variation in the response of N. spumigena to environmental factors has been commonly overlooked. As blooms of N. spumigena occur in late summer, a period with strong light and stable water-column stratification, the cells can be expected to also be exposed to ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–320 nm). The UV-B tolerance of four different strains of N. spumigena, isolated from the Baltic Sea, was investigated in the laboratory for 8 days, by measuring photosynthesis, growth and pigment composition. Variables included maximum quantum yield of photosynthesis (Fv/Fm, PAM fluorometry), growth rate (cell counts) and photosynthetic pigments, as well as mycosporine-like amino acids (HPLC). Intraspecific differences regardless of treatment were found for cell dimension, growth rate, Fv/Fm and pigment concentrations. UV-B related effects differed between strains. By Day 8 one of the four strains showed a lower Fv/Fm when treated with UV-B; in another strain the growth rate and cell numbers were lower. In three strains, UV-B exposure resulted in higher cell concentrations of carotenoids and chlorophyll a. In all strains, the concentrations of total mycosporine-like amino acids were 60–130% higher in the UV-B treated samples compared with samples shielded from UV-B. Although strain-specific differences in UV-B tolerance were observed, it is concluded that N. spumigena is a species that is not generally negatively affected by moderate levels of UV-B radiation. 相似文献

Due to anthropogenic influences, solar UV-B irradiance at the earth’s surface is increasing. To determine the effects of enhanced
UV-B radiation on photosynthetic characteristics of Prunus dulcis, two-year-old seedlings of the species were submitted to four levels of UV-B stress, namely 0 (UV-Bc), 4.42 (UV-B1), 7.32 (UV-B2) and 9.36 (UV-B3) kJ m−2 d−1. Effects of UV-B stress on a range of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters (FPs), Chl contents and photosynthetic gas-exchange
parameters were investigated. UV-B stress promoted an increase in minimal fluorescence of dark-adapted state (F0) and F0/Fm, and a decrease in variable fluorescence (Fv, Fv/Fm, Fv/F0 and F0/Fm) due to its adverse effects on photosystem II (PSII) activity. No significant change was observed for maximal fluorescence
of dark-adapted state (Fm). Enhanced UV-B radiation caused a significant inhibition of net photosynthetic rate (P
N) at UV-B2 and UV-B3 levels and this was accompanied by a reduction in stomatal conductance (g
s) and transpiration rate (E). The contents of Chl a, b, and total Chl content (a+b) were also significantly reduced at increased UV-B stress. In general, adverse UV-B effects became significant at the highest
tested radiation dose 9.36 kJ m−2 d−1. The most sensitive indicators for UV-B stress were Fv/F0, Chl a content and P
N. Significant P<0.05 alteration in these parameters was found indicating the drastic effect of UV-B radiation on P. dulcis. 相似文献

Near-isogenic lines of maize varying in their genes for flavonoid biosynthesis were utilized to examine the effects of foliar
flavonoids and nutrient deficiency on maximum net photosynthetic rate (P
N) and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence (Fv/Fm) in response to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. Plants with deficient (30 to 70 % lower N, K, Mn, Fe, and Zn) and sufficient
nutrients were exposed to four irradiation regimes: (1) no UV-B with solar photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), (2) two day shift to ambient artificial UV-B, 8.2–9.5 kJ m−2 d−1 (21–25 mmol m−2 d−1); (3) continuous ambient artificial UV-B; (4) continuous solar UV-B in Hawaii 12–18 kJ m−2 d−1 (32–47 mmol m−2 d−1). The natural ratio of UVB: PAR (0.25–0.40) was maintained in the UV-B treatments. In the adequately fertilized plants, lines
b and lc had higher contents of flavonoids and anthocyanins than did lines hi27 and dta. UV-B induced the accumulation of
foliar flavonoids in lines hi27 and b, but not in the low flavonoid line dta or in the high flavonoid line lc. In plants grown
on deficient relative to adequate nutrients, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents decreased by 30–40 and 40–50 %, respectively,
and Chl a and Chl b contents decreased by 30 and 70 %, respectively. The UV-B treatments did not significantly affect P
N and Fv/Fm in plants grown on sufficient nutrients, except in the low flavonoid lines dta and hi27 in which P
N and Fv/Fm decreased by ∼15 %. P
N, Fv/Fm, and stomatal conductance decreased markedly (20–30 %) in all lines exposed to UV-B when grown on low nutrients. The decrease
in Fv/Fm was 10 % less in higher flavonoid lines b and lc. The photosynthetic apparatus of maize readily tolerated ambient UV-B in
the tropics when plants were adequately fertilized. In contrast, ambient UV-B combined with nutrient deficiency significantly
reduced photosynthesis in this C4 plant. Nutrient deficiency increased the susceptibility of maize to UV-B-induced photoinhibition in part by decreasing the
contents of photoprotective compounds. 相似文献

Several studies have found the photosynthetic integration in clonal plants to response to resource heterogeneity, while little
is known how it responses to heterogeneity of UV-B radiation. In this study, the effects of heterogeneous UV-B radiation (280–315
nm) on gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence of a clonal plant Trifolium repens were evaluated. Pairs of connected and severed ramets of the stoloniferous herb T. repens were grown under the homogeneity (both of ramets received only natural background radiation, ca. 0.6 kJ m−2 d−1) and heterogeneity of UV-B radiation (one of the ramet received only natural background radiation and the other was exposed
to supplemental UV-B radiation, 2.54 kJ m−2 d−1) for seven days. Stomatal conductance (g
s), intercellular CO2 concentration (C
i) and transpiration rate (E) showed no significant differences in connected and severed ramets under homogenous and heterogeneous UV-B radiation, however,
net photosynthetic rate (P
N) and maximum photosynthetic rate (P
max) of ramets suffered from supplemental increased UV-B radiation and that of its connected sister ramet decreased significantly.
Moreover, additive UV-B radiation resulted in a notable decrease of the minimal fluorescence of dark-adapted state (Fo), the electron transport rate (ETR) and photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) and an increase of nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) under supplemental UV-B radiation, while physiological connection reverse
the results. In all, UV-B stressed ramets could benefit from unstressed ramets by physiological integration in photosynthetic
efficiency, and clonal plants are able to optimize the efficiency to maintain their presence in less favourable sites. 相似文献

Absorption or screening of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation by the epidermis may be an important protective method by which plants avoid damage upon exposure to potentially harmful UV-B radiation. In the present study we examined the relationships among epidermal screening effectiveness, concentration of UV-absorbing compounds, epidermal anatomy and growth responses in seedlings of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.). Seedlings of each species were grown in a greenhouse at the University of Maryland under either no UV-B radiation or daily supplemental UV-B radiation levels of 4, 8 or 11 kJ m?2 of biologically effective UV-B (UV-BBE) radiation. Loblolly pine seedlings were subsequently grown in the field under either ambient or supplemental levels of UV-B radiation. At the conclusion of the growing season, measurements of epidermal UV-B screening effectiveness were made with a fiber-optic microprobe. In loblolly pine, less than 0.5% of incident UV-B radiation was transmitted through the epidermis of fascicle needles and about 1% was transmitted in primary needles. In contrast, epidermal transmittance in sweetgum ranged from about 20% in leaves not preconditioned to UV-B exposure, to about 10% in leaves grown under UV-B radiation. The concentration of UV-absorbing compounds was unaffected by UV-B exposure, but generally increased with leaf age. Increases in epidermal thickness were observed in response to UV-B treatment in loblolly pine, and this accounted for over half of the variability in UV-B screening effectiveness. In spite of the low levels of UV-B penetration into the mesophyll, delays in leaf development (both species) and final needle size (loblolly pine) were observed. Seedling biomass was reduced by supplemental UV-B radiation in loblolly pine. We hypothesize that the UV-induced growth reductions were manifested by changes in either epidermal anatomy or epidermal secondary chemistry that might negatively impact cell elongation. 相似文献

The present study was conceived to elucidate the potential importance of the D1 turnover-mediated repair mechanism in UV-B tolerance of the photosynthetic apparatus in microalgae. To this end, the lab-identified UV-B sensitive and tolerant species of Chlorophyte and Chromophyte algae was used to examine photosynthetic response to UV-B exposure in the presence vs. the absence of streptomycin, an inhibitor of chloroplast protein synthesis. Measurements of photosynthetic O2 evolution capacity and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, ΦPSII) illustrated species-specific UV-B sensitivity of the photosynthetic apparatus. Addition of the inhibitor streptomycin caused significant enhancements of UV-B-caused depression of photosynthesis in UV-B tolerant species, while little effect was observed in the sensitive species. In the tolerant species, recovery from UV-B induced 20 percnt; decline in Fv/Fm reached completion within 2 hours, much faster than that in the sensitive species. Immunoblotting revealed that exposure to UV-B radiation caused substantial degradation of the D1 protein in the sensitive Heterococcus brevicellularis, which was little enhanced by addition of the inhibitor. The same UV-B exposure lead to less D1 degradation in the tolerant Scenedesmus sp., which was significantly enhanced by addition of the inhibitor. This study shows that UV-B tolerance of the photosynthetic apparatus in microalgae was associated with a strong capacity for recovery from the UV-B-induced damage and this capacity related to the D1 turnover-mediated repair cycle, and largely determined UV-B tolerance of the photosynthetic apparatus in these organisms. 相似文献

We measured the responses of pigments and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters of the Antarctic leafy liverwort Cephaloziella varians to snowmelt during austral spring 2005 at Rothera Point on the western Antarctic Peninsula. Although no changes to the concentrations
of UV-B photoprotective pigments were detected during snowmelt, chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations and maximum photosystem
(PS)II yield (F
v
/F
m) were respectively 88, 60 and 144% higher in the tissues of the liverwort that had recently emerged from snow than in those
under a 10 cm depth of snow. A laboratory experiment similarly showed that effective PSII yield increased rapidly within the
first 45 min after plants sampled from under snow were removed to an illuminated growth cabinet. The pigmentation and PSII
yields of plants during snowmelt were also compared with those of plants in January, during the middle of the growing season
at Rothera Point. During snowmelt, plants had lower F
v
/F
m values, chlorophyll a/b ratios and concentrations of UV-B photoprotective pigments and carotenoids than during mid-season, suggesting that although
there is some recovery of PSII activity and increases in concentrations of photosynthetic pigments during snowmelt, the metabolism
of C. varians is restricted during this period. 相似文献

The influence of ultraviolet-B radiation on the growth, pigment production and chlorophyll fluorescence of Norway spruce seedlings 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.)Karst.) from seven seed sources was grown in a greenhouse with 8.3 and 14.7 kJ·m−2·d−1 m UV-BBE (biologically effective UV-B: 280–320 nm) irradiation, and with no supplemental irradiation as control. The seedlings total
biomass (dry weight) and shoot growth decreased with high UV-B treatment but spruce from low elevation seed sources were more
affected. The seedlings grown at the highest UV-B irradiance (14.7 kJ·m−2·d−1) showed from 5 to 38% inhibition of total biomass and 15 to 70 % shoot growth inhibition. Norway spruce populations from
higher altitude seed sources manifested greater tolerance to UV-B radiation compared to plants from low altitudes. Changes
in phospholipids and protective pigments were also determined. The plants grown at the lower UV-B irradiance (8.3 kJ·m−2·d−1) showed greater ability to concentrations UV-B-absorbing pigments then control plants. Chlorophyll a fluorescence parameter
Rfd, (Rfd=(Fm-Fs)/Fs) showed a significant decrease in needles of UV-B treated plants and this correlated with the altitude of seed source. Exposure
to UV-B affect levels of the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm). Results from this study suggest that the response to increased levels of UV-B radiation is depended upon the ecotypic differentiation
of Norway spruce and involved changes in metabolites in plant tissues. 相似文献

Microcoleus chthonoplastes constitutes one of the dominant microorganisms in intertidal microbial mat communities. In the laboratory, the effects of
repeated daily exposure to ultraviolet radiation (16:8 light:dark cycle) was investigated in unicyanobacterial cultures isolated
from three different localities (Baltic Sea = WW6; North Sea = STO and Brittany = BRE). Photosynthesis and growth were measured
in time series (12–15 days) while UV-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and cellular integrity were determined
after 12 and 3 days exposure to three radiation treatments [PAR (22 μmol photon m−2 s−1) = P; PAR + UV-A (8 W m−2) = PA; PAR + UV-A + UV-B (0.4 W m−2) = PAB]. Isolate-specific responses to UVR were observed. The proximate response to radiation stress after 1-day treatment
showed that isolate WW6 was the most sensitive to UVR. However, repeated exposure to radiation stress indicated that photosynthetic
efficiency (F
v/F
m) of WW6 acclimated to UVR. Conversely, although photosynthesis in STO exhibited lower reduction in F
v/F
m during the first day, the values declined over time. The BRE isolate was the most tolerant to radiation stress with the lowest
reduction in F
v/F
m sustained over time. While photosynthetic efficiencies of different isolates were able to acclimate to UVR, growth did not.
The discrepancy seems to be due to the higher cell density used for photosynthesis compared to the growth measurement. Apparently,
the cell density used for photosynthesis was not high enough to offer self-shading protection because cellular damage was
also observed in those filaments under UVR. Most likely, the UVR acclimation of photosynthesis reflects predominantly the
performance of the surviving cells within the filaments. Different strategies were observed in MAAs synthesis. Total MAAs
content in WW6 was not significantly different between all the radiation treatments. In contrast, the additional fluence of
UV-A and UV-B significantly increased MAAs synthesis and accumulation in STO while only UV-B fluence significantly increased
MAAs content in BRE. Regardless of the dynamic photosynthetic recovery process and potential UV-protective functions of MAAs,
cellular investigation showed that UV-B significantly contributed to an increased cell mortality in single filaments. In their
natural mat habitat, M. chthonoplastes benefits from closely associated cyanobacteria which are highly UVR-tolerant due to the production of the extracellular UV-sunscreen
scytonemin. 相似文献

The effect of reduced, natural ambient, and enhanced UV-B radiation (UVBR) on photosynthesis and DNA damage in the Antarctic terrestrial alga Prasiola crispa ssp. antarctica (Kützing) Knebel was investigated in two field experiments. Samples of P. crispa were collected underneath snow cover and exposed outside to reduced and natural UVBR in the austral spring. In a second experiment at the end of the austral summer, samples were exposed to ambient and enhanced UVBR. PSII efficiency, net photosynthetic rate (NP), dark respiration rate (DR), UV-absorbing pigments, and cyclobutyl pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation were measured during the experiments. In October 1998, a spring midday maximum of 2.0 W·m − 2 of UVBR did not significantly affect effective quantum yield (ΔF/Fm′), and a reduction in the ratio of variable to maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm) in the late afternoon was transient. Exposure to natural ambient UVBR in October increased CPD values significantly. Midday maxima of UVBR during the experiments in October and January were comparable, but Setlow-DNA-weighted UVBR was more than 50% lower in January than in October. In January, 0.5 W·m − 2 additional UVBR during 10 h did not have a negative effect on ΔF/Fm′. The reduction in Fv/Fm was not significant. NP and DR were not affected by supplementation of UVBR. Although photosynthetic activity remained largely unaffected by UVBR treatment, DNA damage was shown to be a sensitive parameter to monitor UVBR effects. Supplementation of additional UVBR did significantly enhance the amounts of CPD in exposed samples and repair took place overnight. It is concluded that PSII and whole-chain photosynthesis of P. crispa is well adapted to ambient and enhanced levels of UVBR but that CPD formation is more sensitive to UVBR than to photosynthesis. 相似文献

Seasonal differences in the efficiency of open PSII units (F
v/F
m), leaf pigment composition and xanthophyll cycle conversion (Z+A)/(V+A+Z), leaf adenylate status, and photosynthetic capacity
were investigated in Pinus ponderosa (Ponderosa pine) and Malva neglecta. In P. ponderosa, acclimation to winter involved a lower photosynthetic capacity, higher carotenoid to chlorophyll ratio, persistent reductions
in F
v/F
m corresponding to persistent retention of Z+A, and no change in foliar ATP/ADP ratios. In contrast, M. neglecta characterized in winter exhibited higher rates of photosynthesis than in summer with no change in carotenoid to chlorophyll
ratio, while small nocturnally persistent reductions in F
v/F
m were observed exclusively on colder winter nights when nocturnal retention of Z+A, and high ATP/ADP ratios were also present.
Upon removal of winter-stressed leaves or needles from the field to room temperature, a portion of F
v/F
m relaxed within 15 min of warming and recovery was completed within 5 h in M. neglecta but required 100 h in P. ponderosa. In M. neglecta, the entire recovery of F
v/F
m correlated with decreases in the foliar ATP/ADP ratio, while in P. ponderosa this ratio remained unchanged. Possible ATP-dependent forms of sustained (Z+A)-dependent energy dissipation are discussed
including a nocturnally retained pH gradient on cold winter nights. The slow recovery in pine involved not only retention
of Z+A, but apparently also a persistent engagement of Z+A for energy dissipation via an unidentified mechanism.

Summary Recovery from winter depression of photosynthesis was studied in Pinus sylvestris, Pinus conforta and Picea abies by means of chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange measurements. During the winter 1986–1987 the fluorescence yield was low and no variable fluorescence was detectable before the end of March. In the field recovery of variable fluorescence/maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) during spring was slow for all three species studied. The temperature dependence of recovery was confirmed from measurements of the potential rate of recovery of Fv/Fm at different temperatures in the laboratory. At 20° C, Fv/Fm increased from 0.1 to 0.8 within 3 days. Recovery of Fv/Fm was paralleled by an increase in apparent photon yield. No significant differences could be demonstrated between the studied tree species in potential rate of recovery in the laboratory or in actual recovery in the field. 相似文献

In greenhouse experiments, selenium (Se) has been shown to defend plants against detrimental effects of heavy UV-B radiation
stress. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this positive effect can be found in open-field conditions with enhancement
of UV-B radiation. In the experiment, conducted with strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa, cultivars “Jonsok” and “Polka”) over two growing seasons, plants were exposed to UV-B radiation (including UV-A) and cultivated
without Se or supplied with Se added at two levels (0.1 and 1.0 mg kg−1). The plants were monitored for growth, flavonoids, chlorophyll fluorescence, net photosynthesis as well as tissue and cell
structure. Photosystem II was observed to be sensitive to UV-B stress under field conditions. In the leaves, a decrease in
Fv/Fm was seen at the end of the growing season, implying a cumulative effect of UV-B stress. Several parameters, especially cell
and tissue structures, were affected by UV-B and UV-A treatments, which proves the need for UV-A control in outdoor UV-B supplementation
studies. Addition of Se did not ameliorate the harmful effects of UV-B but the lower Se-increment level increased leaf growth.
The effects of UV-B and Se differed during the two experimental years, indicating the need to repeat experiments during several
growing seasons. 相似文献

Chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence parameters and rapid light curves of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] were measured by pulse amplitude modulation fluorometry. Measurements were taken during different stages of soybean growth under field conditions with 20% enhancement in ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. Results showed that supplemental UV-B radiation decreased Chl contents by 5.5% (P=0.048), 8.7% (P=0.046), and 10.5% (P=0.005) in seedling, in branching-flowering, and in pod-setting stages, respectively. In the branching-flowering and pod-setting stages, maximum quantum yield of photosystem (PS) II photochemistry (Fv/Fm) decreased by 6.1% (P=0.001) and 3.0% (P=0.009), respectively. Supplemental UV-B radiation significantly decreased the effective quantum yield (Y). The photosynthetic capacity at light saturation (Pm) also decreased in both the seedling and branching-flowering stages by 28.9% (P=0.007) and 15.5% (P=0.041), respectively. However, Y and Pm showed no significant difference in the trefoil and pod-setting stages with and without the UV treatment. The light saturation parameter (E k) decreased by 21.1% (P=0.000) and 23.2% (P=0.029) in the trefoil and seedling stages, respectively. Moreover, the initial slope (α) decreased by 21.1% (P=0.001) in the branching-flowering stage. Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) in the seedling stage and photochemical quenching coefficient (qp) in the branching-flowering stage decreased significantly under UV-B treatments. The results of the present study suggest that supplemental UV-B radiation adversely affected Chl content and electron transport activity in PSII and consequently decreased the photosynthetic efficiency of soybean plants. 相似文献

This study shows that increased UV-B arising from stratospheric ozone depletion over Antarctica reduced cell viability and
the maximum quantum yield of photochemistry (F
v/F
m) in a unicellular terrestrial microalga, Stichococcus bacillaris. In the UV waveband, rates of F
v/F
m decline increased with decreasing wavelength. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) also reduced F
v/F
m, though less than UV radiation. Further experiments under different ozone column thicknesses showed a significantly greater
decline in cell viability and F
v/F
m under ozone depletion compared with non-depleted conditions. The inhibitory effects of ambient solar radiation suggest that
S. bacillaris is unlikely to inhabit soil surfaces, but colonises shaded areas beneath soil surface particles. During periods of ozone
depletion, increases in the ratio of UV-B:PAR may reduce the thickness of the sub-surface zone where light conditions are
suitable for colonisation by this alga. 相似文献
