Abstract: | Net photosynthetic rate, radiation use efficiency, chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence, photochemical reflectance index (PRI), and leaf water potential were measured during a 25-d period of progressive water deficit in quinoa plants grown in a glasshouse in order to examine effects of water stress and ontogeny. All physiological parameters except Fv/Fm were sensitive to water stress. Ontogenic variations did not exist in Fv/Fm and leaf water potential, and were moderate to high in the other parameters. The complete recovery of photosynthetic parameters after re-irrigation was related with the stability in Fv/Fm. PRI showed significant correlation with predawn leaf water potential, Fm, and midday Fv/Fm. Thus PRI and Chl fluorescence may help in assessing physiological changes in quinoa plants across different developmental stages and water status. |
