Abstract:Excised leaves of silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) exposed to 0, 0.045, 0.090, or 0.180 mM Cd24 exhibited reduced net photosynthesis and transpiration, and increased dark respiration. Rates of net photosynthesis and transpiration diminished with time and were strongly correlated with solution concentration and tissue content of Cd24, Net photosynthesis and transpiration were reduced to 18 and 21%, respectively, of the untreated controls after 64 h. Dark respiration increased as much as 193% of the untreated controls but was poorly correlated with solution concentration or tissue content of Cd24, Diffusive resistances of leaves to carbon dioxide and water vapor transfer increased with both increasing Cd24 concentration and time. These findings are discussed in relation to stomatal function.
