A  multi-layer model (FORUG) was developed, to simulate the canopy  photosynthesis of a mixed deciduous forest during the growing season.  Measured photosynthesis parameters, for beech (Fagus  sylvatica), oak (Quercus  robur) and ash (Fraxinus  excelsior), were used as input to the model. This  information at the leaf level is then scaled up to the level of the canopy,  taking into account the radiation profiles (diffuse and direct PAR) in the  canopy, the vertical LAI distribution, the evolution of the LAI and the  photosynthesis parameters during the growing season, and the temperature  dependence of the latter parameters.

Abstract Alteration in the leaf mesophyll anatomy by genetic modification is potentially a promising tool for improving the physiological functions of trees by improving leaf photosynthesis. Homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factors are candidates for anatomical alterations of leaves through modification of cell multiplication, differentiation, and expansion. Full-length cDNA encoding a Eucalyptus camaldulensis HD-Zip class II transcription factor (EcHB1) was over-expressed in vivo in the hybrid Eucalyptus GUT5 generated from Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla. Overexpression of EcHB1 induced significant modification in the mesophyll anatomy of Eucalyptus with enhancements in the number of cells and chloroplasts on a leaf-area basis. The leaf-area-based photosynthesis of Eucalyptus was improved in the EcHB1-overexpression lines, which was due to both enhanced CO2 diffusion into chloroplasts and increased photosynthetic biochemical functions through increased number of chloroplasts per unit leaf area. Additionally, overexpression of EcHB1 suppressed defoliation and thus improved the growth of Eucalyptus trees under drought stress, which was a result of reduced water loss from trees due to the reduction in leaf area with no changes in stomatal morphology. These results gave us new insights into the role of the HD-Zip II gene.
