CO2 exchange components of a temperate semi-desert sand grassland ecosystem in Hungary were measured 21 times in 2000–2001 using a closed IRGA system. Stand CO2 uptake and release, soil respiration rate (R s), and micrometeorological values were determined with two types of closed system chambers to investigate the daily courses of gas exchange. The maximum CO2 uptake and release were –3.240 and 1.903 mol m–2 s–1, respectively, indicating a relatively low carbon sequestration potential. The maximum and the minimum R s were 1.470 and 0.226 mol(CO2) m–2 s–1, respectively. Water shortage was probably more effective in decreasing photosynthetic rates than R s, indicating water supply as the primary driving variable for the sink-source relations in this ecosystem type.  相似文献

Leaf gas exchange characteristics were measured in twenty woody species that differ in succession status ranging from pioneer species (PS) to late succession species (LS) in a Brazilian rain-reforestation ecosystem. Photon-saturated photosynthetic rate, calculated per either a leaf area (P NA) or a dry mass (P NM) basis, differed among species. P NA and P NM were highest in PS and lowest in LS. Variation among species was 3-fold (from 7 to 23 mol m–2 s–1) for P NA, and 5-fold (from 50 to 275 mol kg–2 s–1) for P NM. The highest P NA (23 mol m–2 s–1) and P NM (275 mol kg–2 s–1) values were recorded in PS Croton urucurana, while the lowest P NA (7 mol m–2 s–1) and P NM (50 mol kg–2 s–1) values were recorded in LS Aspidosperma cylindrocarpon. A considerable overlap was recorded between PS and LS in values of stomatal conductance (g s), transpiration rate (E), and leaf mass to area ratio (ALM). However, C. urucurana also showed highest g s and E. P NM was highly correlated with ALM in both PS and LS (r=–0.75 and –0.90, respectively). The high values of instantaneous transpiration efficiency (ITE) and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) were also observed in the PS when compared with the LS.  相似文献

We investigated how leaf gas exchange and hydraulic properties acclimate to increasing evaporative demand in mature beech trees, Fagus crenata Blume and Fagus japonica Maxim., growing in their natural habitat. The measurements in the top canopy leaves were conducted using a 16-m-high scaffolding tower over two growing seasons. The daily maxima of net photosynthetic rate for the early growing season were close to the annual maximum value (11.9 mol m–2 s–1 in F. crenata and 7.7 mol m–2 s–1 in F. japonica). The daily maxima of water vapor stomatal conductance were highest in the summer, approximately 0.3 mol m–2 s–1 in F. crenata and 0.15 mol m–2 s–1 in F. japonica. From the early growing season to the summer season, the leaf-to-air vapor pressure deficit increased and the daily minima of leaf water potentials decreased. However, there was no loss of leaf turgor in the summer as a result of effective osmotic adjustment. Both the soil-to-leaf hydraulic conductance per unit leaf area and the twig hydraulic conductivity simultaneously increased in the summer, probably as a result of production of new vessels in the xylem. These results suggest that both osmotic adjustment and increased hydraulic conductance resulted in the largest diurnal maximum of stomatal conductance in the summer, resulting in the lowest relative stomatal limitation on net photosynthetic rate, although the leaf-to-air vapor pressure deficit was highest. These results indicate that even in a mesic forest, in which excessive hydraulic stress does not occur, the seasonal acclimation of hydraulic properties at both the single leaf and whole plant levels are important for plant carbon gain.  相似文献

Seasonal changes in leaf demography and gas exchange physiology in the tall evergreen tussock grass Stipa tenacissima, one of the few dominant plant species in the driest vegetation of Europe, were monitored over a period of two years at a field site in semi-arid south-eastern Spain. Three age-classes of leaves – young, mature and senescent – were distinguished in the green canopy. Production of new leaves and extension growth of older leaves occurred exclusively from October–November to May–June. The rate of extension was significantly correlated with gravimetric soil water content. Leaf growth ceased after gravimetric soil water content fell below 0.015 g g–1 at the beginning of the dry season which corresponded to pre-dawn leaf water potentials of -3.0 MPa. Leaf senescence and desiccation reduced green leaf area by 43–49% during the dry season. Diurnal changes in the net photosynthetic rate of all three cohorts of leaves were bimodal with an early morning maximum, a pronounced midday depression and a small recovery late in the afternoon. Maximum photosynthetic rates of 10–16 mol CO2 m–2 s–1 were attained from November 1993 to early May 1994 in young and mature leaves. Photosynthetic rate declined strongly during the dry season and was at or below compensation in September 1994. Gas exchange variables of young and mature leaves were not significantly different, but photosynthetic rate and diffusive conductance to water vapour of senescing leaves were significantly lower than in the two younger cohorts. Leaf nitrogen content of mature leaves varied seasonally between 2.9 and 5.2 g m–2 (based on projected area of folded leaves), but was poorly correlated with maxima of the photosynthetic rate. There was a stronger linear relationship between the daily maxima of leaf conductance and pre-dawn leaf water potential than with atmospheric water vapour saturation deficit. Seasonal and between-year variation in daily carbon assimilation were caused mainly by differences in climatic conditions and canopy size whereas the effect of age structure of canopies was negligible. Since water is the most important limiting factor for growth and reproduction of S. tenacissima, any future rise in mean temperature, which might increase evapotranspiration, or decrease in rainfall, may considerably reduce the productivity of the grasslands, particularly at the drier end of their geographical distribution.  相似文献

Carbon and water balance in Polylepis sericea,a tropical treeline species   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Polylepis sericea trees grow well above the continuous forest line in the Venezuelan Andes. In these environments, extreme daily temperature ranges can occur at any time of the year and trees experience a 4 month dry period. The purpose of this work was to study carbon and water relations of this species in the field during wet and dry seasons in order to understand this species' success at such high altitudes. Leaf gas exchange (portable system in open mode) and leaf water potential (pressure chamber) were measured at 1–2 h intervals during several daily courses at 4000 m elevation in the Páramo de Piedras Blancas. CO2 assimilation versus leaf temperature curves were also obtained for this species in the laboratory. Clear differences in the measured parameters were observed between seasons. For a wet season day, maximum CO2 assimilation rate was 7.4 mol m-2 s-1 and leaf conductance was relatively constant (approximately 100 mmol m-2 s-1)In the dry season day, maximum CO2 assimilation rate was 5.8 molm-2 s-1 and leaf conductance was close to 60 mmolm-2 s-1. Minimum leaf water potentials measured were -1.3 MPa for the wet and -2.2 MPa for the dry season. The CO2 assimilation-leaf temperature relationship showed a 13.4°C leaf temperature optimum for photosynthesis with maximum and minimum compensation points of 29.5 and -2.8°C, respectively. Maximum night-time respiration was relatively high (2.7 (imol) m-2 s-1)Our results show thatP. sericea maintains a highly positive carbon balance through all daily courses, even though there is a slight water stress effect during the dry season; this suggests that its carbon assimilation machinery is well adapted to the low temperatures and seasonal water stress found in the high tropical mountains.  相似文献

Diurnal variation in leaf stomatal conductance (g s) of three xerophilous species (Buddleia cordata, Senecio praecox and Dodonaea viscosa) was measured over a 10-month period during the dry and wet seasons in a shrubland that is developing in a lava substratum in Mexico. Averaged stomatal conductances were 147 and 60.2 (B. cordata), 145 and 24.8 (D. viscosa) and 142.8 and 14.1 mmol m–2 s–1 (S. praecox) during the wet and dry season respectively. Leaf water potential () varied in a range of –0.6 to –1.2 (S. praecox), –0.6 to –1.8 (B. cordata) and –0.9 to –3.4 MPa (D. viscosa) during the same measurement periods. Stomata were more sensitive to changes in irradiance, air temperature and leaf–air vapour pressure difference in the rainy season than the dry season. Although stomatal responses to were difficult to distinguish in any season (dry or rainy), data for the entire period of measurement showed a positive correlation, stomata tending to open as increased, but there is strong evidence of isohydric behaviour in S. praecox and B. cordata. A multiplicative model relating g s to environmental variables and to accounted for 79%–83% of the variation of g s in three sites (pooled data); however, the performance of the model was poorer (60%–76%) for individual species from other sites not included in the pooled data.  相似文献

Miconia albicans, a common evergreen cerrado species, was studied under field conditions. Leaf gas exchange and pre-dawn leaf water potential (Ψpd) were determined during wet and dry seasons. The potential photosynthetic capacity (P Npmax) and the apparent carboxylation efficiency (ε) dropped in the dry season to 28.0 and 0.7 %, respectively, of the maximum values in the wet season. The relative mesophyll (Lm) and stomatal (Ls) limitations of photosynthesis increased, respectively, from 24 and 44 % in the wet season to 79 and 57 % at the peak of the dry season when mean Ψpd reached −5.2 MPa. After first rains, the P Npmax, ε, and Lm recovered reaching the wet season values, but Ls was maintained high (63 %). The shallow root system growing on stonemason limited by lateral concrete wall to a depth of 0.33 m explained why extreme Ψpd was brought about. Thus M. albicans is able to overcome quickly the strains imposed by severe water stress.  相似文献

Pinus pumila (Pallas) Regel. is a dominant dwarf tree in alpine regions of Japan. The possible factors limiting the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of the needles of P. pumila were examined in the snow-melting (May) and the summer (August) seasons. In August, in situ maximum Pn was 20 mol kg–1 needle s–1 in the current-year needles and 25 mol kg–1 needle s–1 in the 1-year-old needles. Diurnal trends of Pn in August were positively related to fluctuations in photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and no midday depression of Pn was found, indicating that a decrease in PPFD rather than an increase in needle-to-air vapor pressure deficit (W) might cause the reduction of Pn. Both stomatal conductance (gs) and Pn were lower in May than in August. In May, Pn and gs were almost zero in the morning, but gradually increased with decreasing W, reaching maximum Pn values (4 mol kg–1 needle s–1) and gs (60 mmol kg–1 needle s–1) at 16.00 hours. The daytime Pn in May was positively related to gs. Relative water content in the exposed needles above the snow in May was 83%, which was far above the lethal level. This indicates that the water flow from stems or soils to needles was enough to compensate for a small amount of water loss due to the low gs in May, although the water supplied to needles would be impeded by the low temperatures. Thus, the reduced gs in May would be important for avoiding needle desiccation, and would result in a reduced Pn.  相似文献

Short-term responses of four carrot (Daucus carota) cultivars: Cascade, Caro Choice (CC), Oranza, and Red Core Chantenay (RCC) to CO2 concentrations (C a) were studied in a controlled environment. Leaf net photosynthetic rate (P N), intercellular CO2 (C i), stomatal conductance (g s), and transpiration rate (E) were measured at C a from 50 to 1 050 mol mol–1. The cultivars responded similarly to C a and did not differ in all the variables measured. The P N increased with C a until saturation at 650 mol mol–1 (C i= 350–400 mol mol–1), thereafter P N increased slightly. On average, increasing C a from 350 to 650 and from 350 to 1 050 mol mol–1 increased P N by 43 and 52 %, respectively. The P N vs. C i curves were fitted to a non-rectangular hyperbola model. The cultivars did not differ in the parameters estimated from the model. Carboxylation efficiencies ranged from 68 to 91 mol m–2 s–1 and maximum P N were 15.50, 13.52, 13.31, and 14.96 mol m–2 s–1 for Cascade, CC, Oranza, and RCC, respectively. Dark respiration rate varied from 2.80 mol m–2 s–1 for Oranza to 3.96 mol m–2 s–1 for Cascade and the CO2 compensation concentration was between 42 and 46 mol mol–1. The g s and E increased to a peak at C a= 350 mol mol–1 and then decreased by 17 and 15 %, respectively when C a was increased to 650 mol mol–1. An increase from 350 to 1 050 mol mol–1 reduced g s and E by 53 and 47 %, respectively. Changes in g s and P N maintained the C i:C a ratio. The water use efficiency increased linearly with C a due to increases in P N in addition to the decline in E at high C a. Hence CO2 enrichment increases P N and decreases g s, and can improve carrot productivity and water conservation.  相似文献

Internal pressurization and convective gas flow in emergent wetland plants is a function of the water vapour pressure deficit (WPD) and stomatal conductance (G s) separating the external atmosphere from the internal aerenchyma. We have compared the effects of WPD and G s under a range of light intensities on static pressures and convective flows in Phragmites australis, Typha orientalis and Baumea articulata. The capacity of the three species to generate flows per unit leaf area differed, being greatest in P. australisand lowest in B. articulata. In all three species, decreasing light intensity from full sunlight (2200 mol m–2 s–1 photosynthetically active photon flux density (PPFD)) to < 200 and < 10 mol m–2 s–1PPFD caused immediate decreases in photosynthetic assimilation, followed by more gradual decreases in transpiration and G s. However, internal pressures and flows in the two low light intensities remained similar to values recorded in full sunlight. WPD was more significantly related to pressures and flows in P. australis and T. orientalis than G s. In B. articulata, pressures increased at low G s values but flow rates were unaffected, as predicted by earlier models describing pore size effects on pressures and flows. The data suggest that emergent macrophytes can maintain significant internal convection even at low light intensities, and this may be beneficial for nocturnal aeration, particularly in arid climates where the atmospheric humidity at night is low.  相似文献

Diurnal and seasonal fluctuations in water potential (), stomatal conductance (g s), transpiration rate (E), and net photosynthetic rate (P N) were monitored in Capparis spinosa L., a Mediterranean plant growing during summer, i.e. at the period considered the most stressful for local plant life. In spite of the complete absence of rain, exhibited a modest drop at midday (–2.7 MPa), but was fully recovered overnight, indicating sufficient access to water sources. The stomata remained open throughout the day and season and the high E resulted in leaf temperatures up to 3.9 °C below air temperature. Additionally, P N of the fully exposed leaves was higher than 25 mol m–2 s–1 for more than 10 h per day throughout the summer growth period. No symptoms of photooxidative stress were shown, as judged by maximum photosystem 2 photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and the function of xanthophyll cycle. Indeed, diurnal inter-conversions of the xanthophyll cycle components were modest during the summer and a more intensive function of the cycle was only evident during leaf senescence in autumn. In comparison with a semi-deciduous and an evergreen sclerophyll co-existing in the same ecosystem, C. spinosa assimilated up to 3.4 times more CO2 per m2 during its growth period (May to October) and up to 1.8 times more on an annual basis.  相似文献

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

In order to determine how environmental and physiological factors affect leaf gas exchange in a 9-year-old clonal eucalypt plantation (Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex. Maiden hybrids) in the State of Espirito Santo, Brazil, the diurnal patterns of predawn leaf water potential (Ψpd), and leaf gas exchange were monitored from November 1995 to August 1996. Soil water content (Θ) and microclimatic variables were also recorded. Most of the rainfall during the experimental period occurred from October to December 1995 and from March to April 1996, causing a significant variation in Θ and Ψpd. A high positive correlation (r 2=0.92) was observed between Ψpd and Θ measured at 0.3 m depth from the soil surface. During conditions of high soil water availability, the maximum values of stomatal conductance for water vapor (g s) and net photosynthetic rate (A) were over 0.4 mol m–2 s–2 and l5 μmol m–2 s–1, respectively. The results showed that Ψpd and leaf gas exchange of the examined trees were susceptible to changes in the water content of the upper soil layers, where the major concentration of active roots occur. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that photosynthetic active radiation (Q), vapor pressure deficit (VPD), atmospheric CO2 molar fraction (C a), and Ψpd were the most important factors controlling g s whereas Q and VPD were the main microclimatic variables controlling A.

The effects of potassium nutrition [0, 6.25, 12.50, 25.00 g(K) m–2 of K2SO4 or KCl] on gas exchange characteristics and water relations in four cultivars (CIM-448, CIM-1100, Karishma, S-12) of cotton were assessed under an arid environment. Net photosynthetic rate (P N) and transpiration rate (E) increased with increased K supply. The leaf pressure potential (p) increased significantly by the addition of 25.00 g(K) m–2 compared to zero K level. The water use efficiency (P N/E) was improved by 24.6 % under the highest K dose compared to zero K. There were positive correlations (0.99**, 0.98**, 0.95**, 0.97**) between K-doses and P N, E, p, and P N/E, respectively.  相似文献

Understanding how photosynthetic capacity acclimatises when plants are grown in an atmosphere of rising CO2 concentrations will be vital to the development of mechanistic models of the response of plant productivity to global environmental change. A limitation to the study of acclimatisation is the small amount of material that may be destructively harvested from long-term studies of the effects of elevation of CO2 concentration. Technological developments in the measurement of gas exchange, fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy, coupled with theoretical developments in the interpretation of measured values now allow detailed analyses of limitations to photosynthesisin vivo. The use of leaf chambers with Ulbricht integrating spheres allows separation of change in the maximum efficiency of energy transduction in the assimilation of CO2 from changes in tissue absorptance. Analysis of the response of CO2 assimilation to intercellular CO2 concentration allows quantitative determination of the limitation imposed by stomata, carboxylation efficiency, and the rate of regeneration of ribulose 1:5 bisphosphate. Chlorophyll fluorescence provides a rapid method for detecting photoinhibition in heterogeneously illuminated leaves within canopies in the field. Modulated fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy allow parallel measurements of the efficiency of light utilisation in electron transport through photosystems I and IIin situ.Abbreviations A net rate of CO2 uptke per unit leaf area (µmol m–2 s–1) - Asat light-saturated A - A820 change in absorptance of PSI on removal of illumination (OD) - c CO2 concentration in air (µmol mol–1) - ca c in the bulk air; ci, c in the intercellular spaces - ce carboxylation efficiency (mol m–2 s–1) - E transpiration per unit leaf area (mol m–2 s–1) - F fluorescence emission of PSII (relative units) - Fm maximal level of F - Fo minimal level of F upon illumination when PSII is maximally oxidised - Fs the steady-state F following the m peak - Fv the difference between Fm and Fo - F'm maximal F' generated after the m peak by addition of a saturating light pulse - F'o the minimal level of F' after the m peak determined by re-oxidising PSII by far-red light - g1 leaf conductance to CO2 diffusion in the gas phase (mol m–2 s–1) - g'1 leaf conductance to water vapour diffusion in the gas phase (mol m–2 s–1) - kc and ko the Michaelis constants for CO2 and O2, respectively, (µmol mol–1); - Jmax the maximum rate of regeneration of rubP (µmol m–2 s–1) - l stomatal limitation to CO2 uptake (dimensionless, 0–1) - LCP light compensation point of photosynthesis (µmol m–2 s–1) - oi the intercellular O2 concentration (mmol mol–1) - Pi cytosol inorganic phosphate concentration - PSI photosystem I - PSII photosystem II - Q photon flux (µmol m–2 s–1) - Qabs Q absorbed by the leaf - rubisCO ribulose 1:5 bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase; rubP, ribulose 1:5 bisphosphate; s, projected surface area of a leaf (m2) - Vc,max is the maximum rate of carboxylation (µmol m–2 s–1) - Wc the rubisCO limited rate of carboxylation (µmol m–2 s1) - Wj the electron transport limited rate of regeneration of rubP (µmol m–2 s–1) - Wp the inorganic phosphate limited rate of regeneration of rubP (µmol m–2 s–1) - absorptance of light (dimensionless, 0–1) - a of standard black absorber 1, of leaf - s of integrating sphere walls - , CO2 compensation point of photosynthesis (µmol mol–1) - the specificity factor for rubisCO carboxylation (dimensionless) - , convexity of the response of A to Q (dimensionless 0–1) - the quantum yield of photosynthesis on an absorbed light basis (A/Qabs; dimensionless) - the quantum yield of photosynthesis on an incident light basis (A/Q; dimensionless) - app the maximum - m the maximum - m,app the photochemical efficiency of PSII (dimensionless, 0–1) - PSII,m the maximum   相似文献

Gas exchange in San Francisco Bay   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0  
Gas exchange across the air-water interface is one of the most important processes controlling the concentrations of dissolved gases in estuarine systems. A brief review of principles and equations to predict gas exchange indicates that both current shear and wind shear are possible sources of turbulence for controlling gas exchange rates in estuaries. Rates of exchange determined by constructing a mass balance for radon-222 indicate that wind shear is dominant in San Francisco Bay. Because many estuaries have wind shear and current speeds comparable to this system, this conclusion may be true for other systems as well. A compilation of gas exchange rates measured in San Francisco Bay with those for other wind-dominated systems updates previous compilations and yields an equation for predicting gas exchange: K l = 34.6 R v (Dm20)1/2 (U10)1.5 where R is the ratio of the kinematic viscosity of pure water at 20° C to the kinematic viscosity of water at the measured temperature and salinity, Dm20 is the molecular diffusivity of the gas of interest at 20°C in cm2 s–1, U10 is the wind speed at 10 meters above the surface in m s–1, and KL is the liquid phase gas transfer coefficient in m d–1. This relationship fits the available field data within 20% for wind speeds between 3 and 12 m s–1. It is used to show that the residence time of dissolved oxygen in San Francisco Bay should range from 2 days during windy summer periods to as much as 15 days during calm winter periods. Because these times are short compared to time constants for other processes controlling oxygen distribution in this system, dissolved oxygen concentrations in San Francisco Bay are usually near atmospheric equilibrium. Other systems, such as Chesapeake Bay, may differ. There, despite ample air-water gas exchange rates, some bottom waters become anoxic during summer months due to slow vertical mixing.  相似文献

Gas exchange and water relations responses to warming were compared for two shrub species, Artemisia tridentata spp. vaseyana (Asteraceae), a widely distributed evergreen species of the Great Basin and the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, and Pentaphylloides floribunda (Rosaceae), a deciduous shrub limited in distribution to moist, high-elevation meadows. Plants were exposed to an in situ infrared (IR) climate change manipulation at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, near Crested Butte, CO. Measurements of gas exchange and water relations were made on the two species in July and August, 1993 from plants growing in situ in infrared-heated and control plots. Carbon dioxide uptake, water loss, leaf temperature, water use efficiency, and water potential were compared to test the hypothesis that leaf and soil responses to IR will cause leaf level changes in photosynthesis. Photosynthetic CO2 uptake and water use efficiency increased for A. tridentata (2.9 vs. 1.9 mol m–2 s–1 and 1.2 vs. 0.7 mmol C/mol H2O) in the heated plots compared to the controls, while water potential was significantly lower in the heated plots (–1.1 vs. –0.5 MPa). The heating treatment decreased rates of photosynthesis for P. floribunda, but not significantly so. For A. tridentata, the results are consistent with the community-level changes observed with heating. Taken together, the evidence suggests that global warming is likely to result in increasing dominance of A. tridentata in subalpine meadow habitat now dominated by forbs.  相似文献

Photosynthetic Responses of Four Hosta Cultivars to Shade Treatments   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Zhang  J.Z.  Shi  L.  Shi  A.P.  Zhang  Q.X. 《Photosynthetica》2004,42(2):213-218
The effects of shade on the gas exchange of four Hosta cultivars were determined under differing irradiances (5, 30, 50, and 100 % of full irradiance) within pots. Irradiance saturation ranged between 400–800 mol m–2 s–1 among the four cultivars, of which H. sieboldiana cv. Elegans and H. plantagenea cv. Aphrodite exerted the lowest saturation and compensation irradiances. The maximal photosynthetic rate (P max) was significantly higher in shade than in full irradiance in Elegans and Aphrodite, and was at maximum in seedlings grown in 30 % of full irradiance. The best shade treatment for cvs. Antioch and Golden Edger was 50 % of full irradiance. The diurnal gas exchange patterns in four cultivars were greatly influenced by the irradiance. Single-peak patterns of net photosynthetic rate (P N) and stomatal conductance (g s) were observed under 5 and 30 % full irradiance for all the cultivars while Elegans and Aphrodite suffered from midday depression in 50 % of full irradiance. Under open sky, all four cultivars showed two-peak patters in their diurnal gas exchange, but the midday depression was less in Antioch and Golden Edger than in Elegans and Aphrodite. According to their photosynthetic responses to shade, the shade tolerance of the four cultivars was in the order: Elegans>Aphrodite>Antioch>Golden Edger.  相似文献

Adjustment in leaf area : mass ratio called leaf area ratio (LAR) is one of the strategies to optimize photon harvesting. LAR was recorded for 10 genotypes of Hevea brasiliensis under high irradiance and low temperature and the genotypes were categorized into two groups, i.e. high LAR and low LAR types. Simultaneously, the growth during summer as well as winter periods, photosynthetic characteristics, and in-vitro oxidative damage were studied. Low LAR (19.86±0.52 m2 kg–1) types, recorded an average of 18.0 % chlorophyll (Chl) degradation under high irradiance and 7.1 % Chl degradation under low temperature. These genotypes maintained significantly higher net photosynthetic rate (P N) of 10.4 mol(CO2) m–2 s–1 during winter season. On the contrary, the high LAR (24.33±0.27 m2 kg–1) types recorded significantly lower P N of 4 mol(CO2) m–2 s–1 and greater Chl degradation of 37.7 and 13.9 % under high irradiance and low temperature stress, respectively. Thus LAR may be one of the physiological traits, which are possibly involved in plant acclimation process under both stresses studied.  相似文献
