CO2 浓度升高对两种沈阳城市森林树种光合特性的影响

利用开顶式气室, 研究了CO2浓度升高条件下城市森林主要树种油松(Pinus tabulaefomis)和银杏(Ginkgo biloba)主要光合特性的变化。结果表明, 整个生长季, CO2浓度升高(700 mmol.mol-1)条件下2树种叶片的净光合速率、可溶性糖、淀粉和可溶性蛋白含量均接近或高于相应对照(自然CO2浓度)值, 但不同树种增加的幅度不同; 而2树种的叶绿素含量和Chl a/Chl b值对CO2浓度升高反应不一, 表现为CO2浓度升高条件下油松的叶绿素含量较对照值高, Chl a/Chl b值降低, 银杏的叶绿素含量为前期升高, 后期降低, Chl a/Chl b值变化与之正好相反, 说明城市森林组成树种对CO2浓度升高的响应具有复杂性。CO2浓度升高条件下, 两树种均未发生光合适应现象。     

CO(2) Enhancement of Growth and Photosynthesis in Rice (Oryza sativa) : Modification by Increased Ultraviolet-B Radiation

Two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) IR-36 and Fujiyama-5 were grown at ambient (360 microbars) and elevated CO₂ (660 microbars) from germination through reproduction in unshaded greenhouses at the Duke University Phytotron. Growth at elevated CO₂ resulted in significant decreases in nighttime respiration and increases in photosynthesis, total biomass, and yield for both cultivars. However, in plants exposed to simultaneous increases in CO₂ and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation, CO₂ enhancement effects on respiration, photosynthesis, and biomass were eliminated in IR-36 and significantly reduced in Fujiyama-5. UV-B radiation simulated a 25% depletion in stratospheric ozone at Durham, North Carolina. Analysis of the response of CO₂ uptake to internal CO₂ concentration at light saturation suggested that, for IR-36, the predominant limitation to photosynthesis with increased UV-B radiation was the capacity for regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP), whereas for Fujiyama-5 the primary photosynthetic decrease appeared to be related to a decline in apparent carboxylation efficiency. Changes in the RuBP regeneration limitation in IR-36 were consistent with damage to the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II as estimated from the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence. Little change in RuBP regeneration and photochemistry was evident in cultivar Fujiyama-5, however. The degree of sensitivity of photochemical reactions with increased UV-B radiation appeared to be related to leaf production of UV-B-absorbing compounds. Fujiyama-5 had a higher concentration of these compounds than IR-36 in all environments, and the production of these compounds in Fujiyama-5 was stimulated by UV-B fluence. Results from this study suggest that in rice alterations in growth or photosynthesis as a result of enhanced CO₂ may be eliminated or reduced if UV-B radiation continues to increase.     

Drought Stress and Elevated CO(2) Effects on Soybean Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Activity and Canopy Photosynthetic Rates

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] cv Bragg) was grown at 330 or 660 microliters CO₂ per liter in outdoor, controlled-environment chambers. When the plants were 50 days old, drought stress was imposed by gradually reducing irrigation each evening so that plants wilted earlier each succeeding day. On the ninth day, as the pots ran out of water CO₂ exchange rate (CER) decreased rapidly to near zero for the remainder of the day. Both CO₂-enrichment and drought stress reduced the total (HCO₃⁻/Mg²⁺-activated) extractable ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) activity, as expressed on a chlorophyll basis. In addition, drought stress when canopy CER values and leaf water potentials were lowest, reduced the initial (nonactivated) RuBPCase activity by 50% compared to the corresponding unstressed treatments. This suggests that moderate to severe drought stress reduces the in vivo activation state of RuBPCase, as well as lowers the total activity. It is hypothesized that stromal acidification under drought stress causes the lowered initial RuBPCase activities. The K_m(CO₂) values of activated RuBPCase from stressed and unstressed plants were similar; 15.0 and 12.6 micromolar, respectively. RuBP levels were 10 to 30% lower in drought stressed as compared to unstressed treatments. However, RuBP levels increased from near zero at night to around 150 to 200 nanomoles per milligram chlorophyll during the day, even as water potentials and canopy CERs decreased. This suggests that the rapid decline in canopy CER cannot be attributed to drought stress induced limitations in the RuBP regeneration capability. Thus, in soybean leaves, a nonstomatal limitation of leaf photosynthesis under drought stress conditions appears due, in part, to a reduction of the in vivo activity of RuBPCase. Because initial RuBPCase activities were not reduced as much as canopy CER values, this enzymic effect does not explain entirely the response of soybean photosynthesis to drought stress.     

Modelling Net Photosynthetic Rate of Winter Wheat in Elevated Air CO2 Concentrations

Winter wheat plants were grown in open top chambers either at 365 µmol mol^–1 (AC) or at 700 µmol mol^–1 (EC) air CO₂ concentrations. The photosynthetic response of flag leaves at the beginning of flowering and on four vertical leaf levels at the beginning of grain filling were measured. Net photosynthetic rates (P _N) were higher at both developmental phases in plants grown at EC coupled with larger leaf area and photosynthetic pigment contents. The widely accepted Farquhar net photosynthesis model was parameterised and tested using several observed data. After parameterisation the test results corresponded satisfactorily with observed values under several environmental conditions.     

Effect of Cerium on Photosynthetic Pigments and Photochemical Reaction Activity in Soybean Seedling Under Ultraviolet-B Radiation Stress

Effects of cerium (Ce) on photosynthetic pigments and photochemical reaction activity in soybean (Glycine max L.) under ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation stress were studied under laboratory conditions. UV-B radiation caused the decrease in chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, Hill reaction activity, photophosphorylation rate and Mg²⁺-ATPase activity. Ce (III) (20 mg L⁻¹) could alleviate UV-B-induced inhibition to these photosynthetic parameters because values of these photosynthetic parameters in Ce (III) + UV-B treatment were obviously higher than those with UV-B treatment alone. Dynamic changes of the above photosynthetic parameters show that Ce (III) could slow down the decrease rate of these photosynthetic parameters during a 5-day UV-B radiation and quicken the restoration during recovery period. The final restoration degree of five parameters mentioned above in leaves exposed to low level of UV-B radiation (0.15 W m²) was higher than that exposed to high level (0.45 W m²). Correlating net photosynthetic rate with other four parameters, we found that the regulating mechanisms Ce (ΠΙ) on photosynthesis under various level of UV-B radiation were not the same. The protective effects of Ce (III) on photosynthesis in plants were influenced by the intensity of UV-B radiation.     

Regulation of Soybean Net Photosynthetic CO(2) Fixation by the Interaction of CO(2), O(2), and Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase

Kinetic properties of soybean net photosynthetic CO₂ fixation and of the carboxylase and oxygenase activities of purified soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) ribulose 1, 5-diphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39) were examined as functions of temperature, CO₂ concentration, and O₂ concentration. With leaves, O₂ inhibition of net photosynthetic CO₂ fixation increased when the ambient leaf temperature was increased. The increased inhibition of CO₂ fixation at higher temperatures was caused by a reduced affinity of the leaf for CO₂ and an increased affinity of the leaf for O₂. With purified ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase, O₂ inhibition of CO₂ incorporation and the ratio of oxygenase activity to carboxylase activity increased with increased temperature. The increased O₂ sensitivity of the enzyme at higher temperature was caused by a reduced affinity of the enzyme for CO₂ and a slightly increased affinity of the enzyme for O₂. The similarity of the effect of temperature on the affinity of intact leaves and of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase for CO₂ and O₂ provides further evidence that the carboxylase regulates the O₂ response of photosynthetic CO₂ fixation in soybean leaves. Based on results reported here and in the literature, a scheme outlining the stoichiometry between CO₂ and O₂ fixation in vivo is proposed.     

Field Study of the Interaction between Solar Ultraviolet-B Radiation and Drought on Photosynthesis and Growth in Soybean

Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv Essex, plants were grown in the field in a 2 × 2 factorial design, under ambient and supplemental levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (supplemental daily dose of 5.1 effective kilojoules per square meter) and were either well-watered or subjected to drought. Soil water potentials were reduced to −2.0 megapascals by the exclusion of natural precipitation in the drought plots and were maintained at approximately −0.5 megapascal by supplemental irrigation in well-watered plots. Plant growth and gas exchange characteristics were affected under both drought and supplemental UV-B radiation. Whole-leaf gas exchange analysis indicated that stomatal limitations on photosynthesis were only significantly affected by the combination of UV-B radiation and drought but substrate (ribulose bisphosphate) regeneration limitations were observed under either stress. The combined effect of both drought and UV-B radiation on photosynthetic gas exchange was a reduction in apparent quantum efficiency and the rapid appearance of biochemical limitations to photosynthesis concomitant with reduced diffusional limitations. However, the combination of stresses did not result in additive effects on total plant growth or seed yield compared to reductions under either stress independently.     

强光和短期高浓度CO2对玉米和大豆光能转化效率的影响

盆栽和人工光源条件下,玉米叶片在普通空气中对强光照射不敏感,在高浓度CO2中强光照射0～5h后,光合速率(Pn)逐渐降低,无机磷(Pi)限制是其主要原因之一;大豆叶片在普通空气中受强光照射5h后,Fv／Fm、Pn、羧化效率(CE)和表观量子效率(AOY)明显降低,Fo升高,在高浓度CO2和强光下大豆Fo上升、Fv／Fm和气体交换参数下降的幅度减小。研究表明,高浓度CO2可减轻强光对植物尤其是C3植物光合功能的损伤,有限地缓解光抑制,但不能完全消除强光导致的大豆Pn和气孔导度(Gs)的降低。     

Photosynthetic Acclimation to Elevated CO2 in Relation to Leaf Saccharide Constituents in Wheat and Sunflower

Wheat (T. durum cvs. HD 4502 and B 449, T. aestivum cvs. Kalyansona and Kundan) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Morden) were grown under atmospheric (360±10 cm³ m^–3, AC) and elevated CO₂ (650±50 cm³ m^–3, EC) concentration in open top chambers for entire period of growth and development till maturity. Leaf net photosynthetic rate (P _N) of EC-grown plants of wheat measured at EC was significantly decreased in comparison with AC-plants of wheat measured at EC. Sunflower, however, showed no significant depression in P _N in EC-plants. There was a decrease in ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPC) activity, its activation state and amount in EC-plants of wheat, whereas no significant decrease was observed in sunflower. The above different acclimation to EC in wheat and sunflower was related with saccharide constituents accumulated in the leaves. Under EC, sunflower accumulated in the leaves more starch, whereas wheat accumulated more sugars.     

Reversibility of Photosynthetic Inhibition in Cotton after Long-Term Exposure to Elevated CO(2) Concentrations

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Stoneville 213) was grown at 350 and 1000 microliters per liter CO₂. The plants grown at elevated CO₂ concentrations contained large starch pools and showed initial symptoms of visible physical damage. Photosynthetic rates were lower than expected based on instantaneous exposure to high CO₂.

A group of plants grown at 1000 microliters per liter CO₂ was switched to 350 microliters per liter CO₂. Starch pools and photosynthetic rates were monitored in the switched plants and in the two unswitched control groups. Photosynthetic rates per unit leaf area recovered to the level of the 350 microliters per liter CO₂ grown control group within four to five days. To assess only nonstomatal limitations to photosynthesis, a measure of photosynthetic efficiencies was calculated (moles CO₂ fixed per square meter per second per mole intercellular CO₂). Photosynthetic efficiency also recovered to the levels of the 350 microliters per liter CO₂ grown controls within three to four days.

Recovery was correlated to a rapid depletion of the starch pool, indicating that the inhibition of photosynthesis is primarily a result of feedback inhibition. However, complete recovery may involve the repair of damage to the chloroplasts caused by excessive starch accumulation. The rapid and complete reversal of photosynthetic inhibition suggests that the appearance of large, strong sinks at certain developmental stages could result in reduction of the large starch accumulations and that photosynthetic rates could recover to near the theoretical capacity during periods of high photosynthate demand.

     

CO2浓度升高对两种沈阳城市森林树种光合特性的影响

利用开顶式气室,研究了CO2浓度升高条件下城市森林主要树种油松(Pinus tabulaefomis)和银杏(Ginkgo biloba)主要光合特性的变化.结果表明,整个生长季,CO2浓度升高(700μmol·mol-1)条件下2树种叶片的净光合速率、可溶性糖、淀粉和可溶性蛋白含量均接近或高于相应对照(自然CO2浓度)值,但不同树种增加的幅度不同;而2树种的叶绿素含量和Chl a/Chl b值对CO2浓度升高反应不一,表现为CO2浓度升高条件下油松的叶绿素含量较对照值高,Chl a/Chl b值降低,银杏的叶绿素含量为前期升高,后期降低,Chl a/Chl b值变化与之正好相反,说明城市森林组成树种对CO2浓度升高的响应具有复杂性.CO2浓度升高条件下,两树种均未发生光合适应现象.     

The Photosynthetic Response to Elevated CO2 in High Altitude Potato Species (Solanum curtilobum)

Plants of Solanum curtilobum (from high altitude) and Solanum tuberosum (from low altitude) were grown in open-top chambers in a greenhouse at either ambient (AC, 360 µmol mol^–1) or ca. twice ambient (EC, 720 µmol mol^–1) CO₂ concentrations for 30 d. CO₂ treatments started at the reproductive stage of the plants. There were similar patterns in the physiological response to CO₂ enrichment in the two species. Stomatal conductance was reduced by 59 % in S. tuberosum and by 55 % in S. curtilobum, but such a reduction did not limit the net photosynthetic rate (P _N), which was increased by approximately 56 % in S. curtilobum and 53 % in S. tuberosum. The transpiration rate was reduced by 16 % in both potato species while instantaneous transpiration efficiency increased by 80 % in S. tuberosum and 90 % in S. curtilobum. Plants grown under EC showed 36 and 66 % increment in total dry biomass, whereas yields (dry mass of tubers) were increased by 40 and 85 % in S. tuberosum and S. curtilobum, respectively. EC promoted productivity by increasing P _N. Thus S. tuberosum, cultivated around the world at low altitudes, and S. curtilobum, endemic of the highland Andes, respond positively to EC during the tuberisation stage.     

Temperature Effects on Rice at Elevated CO2 Concentration

The continuing increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration([CO₂]) and projections of possible future increases in globalairtemperatures have stimulated interest in the effects of theseclimate variables on agriculturally important food crops. Thisstudywas conducted to determine the effects of [CO₂] and temperatureon rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. IR–30). Rice plants weregrownseason-long in outdoor, naturally sunlit, controlled-environment,plant growth chambers in temperature regimes ranging from 25/18/21°Cto 37/30/34°C (daytime dry bulb air temperature/night-timedry bulb air temperature/paddy water temperature)and [CO₂] of660 µmol CO₂ mol1 air. An ambient chamber was maintainedat a [CO₂] of 330 µmol mol^–1 and temperature regimesof 28/21/25°C. Carbon dioxide enrichment at 28/21/25°Cincreased both biomass accumulation and tillering and increasedgrain yield by 60%. In the 660 µmol mol^–1 [CO₂]treatment, grain yield decreased from 10.4 to 1.0 Mg ha^–1with increasing temperature from 28/21/25°C to the 37/30/34°Ctemperature treatment. Across this temperature range, the numberof panicles plant^–1 nearly doubled while the number ofseeds panicle^–1 declined sharply. These results indicatethat while future increases in atmospheric [CO₂] are likelyto be beneficial to rice growth and yield, potentially largenegative effects on rice yield are possible if air temperaturesalso rise.

植物对大气CO2浓度升高的光合适应机理

光合作用对大气中CO2浓度升高适应的可能原因主要表现在以下几个方面:由于CO2浓度升高,碳水化合物过量积累,光合电子传递链中质体醌与过氧化氢(H2O2)的氧化还原信号对光合作用发生反馈抑制;核酮糖1,5-二磷酸羧化/加氧酶(Rubisco)的含量及其活性下降;气孔状态发生变化.此外,植物体内C/N平衡、生长调节物质和己糖激酶对光合基因表达水平的调控等多个方面会对光合适应产生影响.

The Effect of Elevated Partial Pressures of CO2 on the Relationship between Photosynthetic Capacity and N Content in Rice Leaves

The effects of growth CO2 levels on the photosynthetic rates; the amounts of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), chlorophyll (Chl), and cytochrome f; sucrose phosphate synthase activity; and total N content were examined in young, fully expanded leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The plants were grown hydroponically under two CO2 partial pressures of 36 and 100 Pa at three N concentrations. The light-saturated photosynthesis at 36 Pa CO2 was lower in the plants grown in 100 Pa CO2 than those grown in 36 Pa CO2. Similarly, the amounts of Rubisco, Chl, and total N were decreased in the leaves of the plants grown in 100 Pa CO2. However, regression analysis showed no differences between the two CO2 treatments in the relationship between photosynthesis and total N or in the relationship between Rubisco and Chl and total N. Although a relative decrease in Rubisco to cytochrome f or sucrose phosphate synthase was found in the plants grown in 100 Pa CO2, this was the result of a decrease in total N content by CO2 enrichment. The activation state of Rubisco was also unaffected by growth CO2 levels. Thus, decreases in the photosynthetic capacity of the plants grown in 100 Pa CO2 could be simply accounted for by a decrease in the absolute amount of leaf N.     

Influence of Elevated CO2 Concentration and Nitrogen Source on Photosynthetic Traits in the Invasive Species Eupatorium adenophorum (Asteraceae)

Increases in the concentration of atmospheric CO2 and plant invasion are two important problems that face humans worldwide. In some plants, exposure to a short term elevated concentration of CO2 (SE［CO2］) promotes photosynthesis, but the promotion of elevated ［CO2］ (E ［CO2］) to photosynthesis might disappear after long term treatment (so called “CO2 acclimation”); this might result from the associated inhibition of nitrate assimilation. The present study investigated the physiological effects of short term (8 days) and long term (40 days) exposure to E［CO2］ when these were combined with different forms of inorganic N (full N; nitrate (NO3-) N) in the invasive species Eupatorium adenophorum. Exposure to E［CO2］ increased the biomass of Eadenophorum, regardless of the duration of exposure to E［CO2］ and the type of inorganic N that was supplied. E［CO2］ could promote the photosynthesis of Eadenophorum seedlings fertilised with non depleted Hoagland solutions (full N). For plants fertilised with NH4+ depleted Hoagland solution (NO3- N), LE［CO2］ treatment promoted the photosynthesis of Eadenop horum, but the promotion of photosynthesis by E［CO2］ disappeared under SE［CO2］ conditions. Photosynthetic pigments contents were determined to estimate potential changes in the photosynthetic capacity of Eadenophorum. For plants fertilised with non depleted Hoagland solution, there were no significant differences in chlorophyll among the three ［CO2］ treatments, but the treatment of SE［CO2］ increased the levels of chlorophyll in leaves. The apparent promotion of biomass accumulation and photosynthesis at LE［CO2］ without a decrease in chlorophyll indicates that Eadenophorum might not acclimate to long term exposure to E［CO2］. NH4+ depletion did not affect the capacity of LE［CO2］ to promote the photosynthesis of Eadenophorum. Thus, considering some plants fertilised with NO3- acclimating to LE［CO2］, Eadenophorum might be more competitive in areas where the soils are relatively poor in NH4+ as levels of atmospheric CO2 continue to rise.     

Effects of Enhanced Ultraviolet-B (280–320 nm) Radiation on Growth and Photosynthetic Activities in Aquatic Fern Azolla Microphylla Kaulf

The effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on growth and photosynthetic activities were investigated in fronds of the aquatic fern Azolla microphylla Kaulf. The fronds were exposed to UV-B radiation intermittently once in 3 d during 12 d. Biomass and relative growth rate of UV-B treated Azolla plants and the heterocyst frequency of the UV-B treated symbiont decreased resulting in an increase in doubling time over the control. The doubling time was 3.08 d for control and 3.35 d for UV-B irradiated plants. Chl and carotenoid contents per unit fresh mass and photosystem 2 (PS2) activity also decreased under UV-B treatment. Measurements of photosynthetic activity in terms of fluorescence kinetics and PS2 mediated O₂ evolution showed that the aquatic fern Azolla is sensitive to UV-B damage.
