半根及半根交替水分胁迫对苹果幼苗光合作用的影响

 【目的】模拟研究定位灌溉及分根区交替灌溉的‘嘎拉’苹果幼苗光合反应，探讨不同水分条件下叶片光合效率的气孔与非气孔限制作用。【方法】采用18% PEG 6000（w/v）模拟水分胁迫，研究了半根（HRS，模拟定位灌溉）、半根交替（AHRS，模拟分根区交替灌溉）及全根水分胁迫（WRS）下苹果光合参数、光合色素、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和丙二醛（MDA）含量的变化，及叶绿素荧光反应特点。【结果】水分胁迫条件下叶片光合速率、气孔导度与细胞间隙CO2浓度显著降低，叶温显著升高。HRS叶片MDA含量和SOD活性及叶绿素荧光反应与对照不存在显著差异；AHRS从交替后第2天起，叶片MDA含量显著高于对照，而Fv/Fo与Fv/Fm则显著低于对照；WRS在胁迫第5或6天后，叶绿素与类胡萝卜素含量、Fv/Fo和Fv/Fm、SOD酶活性显著降低，而MDA含量则显著增加。【结论】不同水分胁迫处理光合速率下降的原因存在差异：HRS主要由气孔限制所引起；AHRS既存在气孔限制，也存在非气孔因素限制；而WRS前期由气孔限制引起，随着胁迫时间延长，非气孔限制起着重要作用。     

增强UV-B辐射和Cd2+复合胁迫下绿豆幼苗Cd积累和光合作用的气孔和非气孔限制

[目的]研究增强UV-B辐射和Cd2＋复合胁迫下绿豆（Phaseolus radiatus L.）幼苗Cd积累和光合作用的气孔和非气孔限制因素。[方法]试验设1个对照（CK）和3个试验组,分别为增强UV-B辐射（UV-B）组、Cd2＋（Cd）组、增强UV-B辐射＋Cd2＋（UV-B＋Cd）组,研究0.35 W/m2的UV-B辐射、1μmol/L Cd2＋及其复合胁迫下绿豆幼苗对Cd的吸收、分配和光合作用的气孔、非气孔限制,分别利用原子吸收分光光度仪和光合测定仪测定Cd在绿豆幼苗各部位的含量及第1对真叶的光合指标。[结果]绿豆幼苗中Cd的积累是根〉胚轴〉叶,UV-B对Cd在幼苗中的积累和分配没有影响。此外,各胁迫下幼苗的净光合速率（Pn）、气孔导度（Gs）、光合能力（A0）和羧化效率（dPn/dCi）含量均明显降低。UV-B组的细胞间隙CO2浓度（Ci）升高,气孔限制值（Ls）降低,Pn的降低是非气孔因素。Cd和复合处理组的Ci降低,而Ls升高,Cd组Pn的降低主要是气孔因素。复合组前期以非气孔因素为主,后期主要是气孔因素。[结论]该研究揭示了UV-B辐射和Cd2＋复合胁迫下绿豆幼苗光合变化的主要原因,可为进一步研究提供科学依据。

植物δ~(13)C与土壤盐分的关系研究综述

稳定碳同位素组成(δ13C)综合反映了植物的生理生态特征,可用于研究植物生理与生态环境之间的关系。大多数研究认为植物δ13C值随盐度增加而变重。盐分主要通过影响C3植物叶片气孔传导、光合作用等生理活动,使植物δ13C值发生变化。而有些植物为适应盐分胁迫可能发生光合途径的转换,使C3代谢转换成C4或CAM代谢,导致植物某些器官的δ13C值发生变化,而植株整体δ13C值变化较小。由于植物δ13C与土壤盐分的关系还受其他环境因素的影响以及室内试验的有限性,因此进一步扩大盐度梯度范围,延长盐处理时间以及开展大田试验显得很有必要。     

Diurnal variations in gas exchange,chlorophyll fluorescence quenching and light allocation in soybean leaves: The cause for midday depression in CO2 assimilation

Gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence quenching analysis were carried out to investigate the diurnal variations in photosynthesis and light allocation in leaves of soybean. Leaf net CO₂ assimilation rate showed a bimodal diurnal pattern and midday depression of CO₂ assimilation was observed at 13:00 h. Depression in CO₂ assimilation at midday was mostly attributed to non-stomatal limitation since the reduction in net CO₂ assimilation rate was not followed by significant reductions in stomatal conductance and intracellular CO₂ concentration. Midday depression in CO₂ assimilation was found to be associated with reversible inactivation of photosystem II reaction centers and increases of antenna heat dissipation and photorespiration in response to the high light intensity. It is likely that PS II down-regulation, heat dissipation and photorespiration co-operated together to prevent the chloroplast from photodamage.     

Antioxidant and stomatal responses of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) to boron toxicity

Although of considerable agronomic importance, our understanding of B toxicity mechanism in plants is still not completely understood, and remains an open question. Therefore, we investigated the effect of increasing levels of B (0, 10, 20 and 30 mg kg⁻¹) on the growth, boron (B) concentrations, stomatal resistance, lipid peroxidation (MDA), membrane permeability (MP), lypoxygenase activity (LOX), proline (PRO) and H₂O₂ accumulation, and the activities of major antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT and ascorbate peroxidase, APX) of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Kalecik Karasi) grafted on 5BB rootstock (V. berlandieri × V. riparia) was investigated. Applied toxic levels of B significantly reduced leaf and root growth and increased the B concentration of the leaf, and stem, bark and root of rootstock. In the all B levels leaf tissues of grapevine accumulated more B than that of the other plant parts. In order to restrict excessive uptake of B, stomatal resistance of the leaves increased especially at high B treatments (20 and 30 mg kg⁻¹). The concentrations of H₂O₂, MDA and membrane permeability were increased as the result of B toxicity while proline and the activity of lypoxygenase were decreased. Compared with control plants, the activities of SOD and CAT were increased by B treatments while the activity of APX was decreased. To our knowledge, this is the first report that B toxicity elevated the antioxidant enzymes to protect the membrane functions from reactive oxygen species (ROS) injury in grapevine and it was hoped that this study would provide a basis for developing strategies for reducing the risks associated with B toxicity.     

Higher than optimum temperature under CO2 enrichment influences stomata anatomical characters in rose (Rosa hybrida)

There is little available information on the effects of temperature and CO₂ enrichment on stomata anatomical characteristics of plants. Effect of these two microclimates was studied on five rose (Rosa spp.) cultivars, viz. ‘First Red’ (used as check), ‘Arjun’, ‘Raktima’, ‘Raktagandha’ and ‘Pusa Pitamber’. Budded, single-stemmed rose cultivars having five lateral buds were grown in controlled environment growth cabinets under enriched CO₂ (1000 μmol mol⁻¹) and optimum (28/18 °C, T₀) or high (35/25 °C, T₁) temperature for 50 days. All observations were made on the abaxial leaf surface. Significant increases in stomatal density (68.7%), index (29.6%) and epidermal cell density (37.3%) were recorded in plants grown at high temperature over control with CO₂ enrichment. The cultivars responded differently in terms of length and width of guard cell and stoma (pore) under high temperature, however, the values averaged over treatments showed a significant reduction in these parameters. Further, number of stomata per leaf was higher (28.3%) in plants grown at high temperature, except First Red. A reduction in mean leaf area (26.7%) and dry mass (32.0%) was recorded at high rather than optimum temperature. The specific leaf area was maximum in Arjun (87%) while in First Red, a 14% reduction was noted at high temperature.     

Analysis and modeling of gas exchange processes in Scaevola aemula

Scaevola aemula is a popular ornamental crop cultivated as a bedding plant or for hanging baskets. We characterized gas exchange properties of S. aemula ‘New Wonder’ in response to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), carbon dioxide concentration, and leaf temperature. Net CO₂ assimilation rate (A) was responsive to CO₂, exhibiting a saturation when intercellular CO₂ concentration (C_i) was greater than 600 μmol mol⁻¹. Net CO₂ assimilation rate and dark respiration rate (R_d) were 23.1 and 2.3 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively, at 25 °C and PAR = 1500 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹. Net CO₂ assimilation rates were similar at leaf temperatures between 20 and 30 °C but significantly reduced at 15 °C. These gas exchange results were used to test the extendibility of a coupled gas exchange model previously developed for cut-roses. Utilizing the gas exchange data measured at 25 °C leaf temperature, several model parameters were independently determined for S. aemula. Model predictions were then compared with observations at different leaf temperatures. The model predicted the rates of net CO₂ assimilation and transpiration of S. aemula reasonably well. Without additional calibration, the model was capable of predicting the temperature dependence of net CO₂ assimilation and transpiration rates. Applying the model to predict the effects of supplemental lighting and CO₂ enrichment on canopy photosynthesis and transpiration rates, we show that this model could be a useful tool for examining environmental control options for S. aemula production in the greenhouse.     

蒸腾速率、阻力与叶内外水势和光强关系的研究

本文采用ＬＩ一１６００稳态气孔计和压力室测定了杨柴的蒸腾速率、阻力、叶水势及其环境因子的日变化，分析结果表明：当０～２ｍ土层内土壤平均水势在－０．０４～－０．２０ＭＰａ时，光照强度是影响杨柴等树木蒸腾速率的主要因子，它主要是通过影响蒸腾阻力所致。光照强度（Ｌｉ）与蒸腾阻力（Ｄｒ）的关系符合方程Ｄｒ＝ａｅｂ／Ｌｉ。这样，根据光照强度对阻力的影响过程，把光照强度与蒸腾速率（Ｔｒ）的关系分成３个区段：①弱光照区，Ｔｒ＝Ｋ／Ｄｒ；②过渡区，Ｔｒ＝Ｋ·ψＬ－Ａ／Ｄｒ；③光饱和区，Ｔｒ＝ａ·ψＬ－Ａ＋ｂ，其中ａ、ｂ和Ｋ是系数。     

Leaf water relations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pinus densiflora</Emphasis> Sieb. et Zucc. on different soil moisture conditions

To elucidate the differences in the leaf water relations of Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. growing in different soil moisture conditions, we examined the pressure-volume curve and the diurnal changes in the stomatal conductance, the transpiration rate, and the leaf water potential. The leaf water relations were compared using field-grown 40-year-old pine trees growing on the upper and lower parts of a slope. We also compared the leaf water relations of potted 4-year-old saplings growing at pF 4.2 and pF 1.8 soil moisture levels for almost 1 year. The values of the ratio of symplasmic water at turgor loss point to symplasmic water at saturated point (V_p/V_o) and bulk modulus of elasticity () of both the adult trees on the upper part of the slope and the potted saplings growing on pF 4.2 soil moisture were higher than those values of both the adult trees on the lower part of the slope and the potted saplings growing on pF 1.8 soil moisture, respectively. The field-grown adult tree and the potted saplings growing under long-term water stress tended to reduce their stomatal conductance in response to the acute soil drying. It is suggested that P. densiflora growing under long-term water stress rapidly closed its stomata in response to soil drying and avoided losing water, and could also rapidly absorb water with reducing water loss because of the decrease in the leaf pressure potential derived from the high values.
