AbstractBy generating stress conditions soil flooding can induce alterations in the cell metabolism and thus is detrimental to plant growth. This study was done under the greenhouse conditions to determine the effect of soil flooding on the chlorophyll fluorescence of some hybrids of canola (Brassica napus L.). Fifty five days old plants were subjected to flooding for six days. There was no difference in the parameters modulate chlorophyll fluorescence, in contrast, some the parameters related to the energy flux in photosystem II varied due to flooding stress. At the end of the six days, the performance indexes (PItotal and PIABS) decreased, in all hybrids except in ‘Hyola 420’. The difference kinetics of the chlorophyll a fluorescence transient showed different effects on different sites of the photosynthetic machinery. It could be concluded that compared to the other hybrids, ‘Hyola 420’ was less sensitive to flooding.

Photosynthetic performance was examined in Skeletonema costatum (Greville) Cleve. under 12 : 12-h light : dark (LD) cycle at ambient CO2 (350 μL L–1) and elevated CO2 (1000 μL L–1). At ambient CO2, the cellular chlorophyll a content, the light-saturated photosynthetic rate (Pm), the initial slope of the light saturation curves (α), the photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv / Fm), the apparent carboxylating efficiency (ACE) and the photosynthetic affinity for CO2 [1 / Km(CO2)] all showed rhythmical changes with different amplitudes during the light period. The Pm had similar changing pattern in the light period with the ACE and 1 / Km(CO2) rather than with the α and Fv / Fm, indicating that rhythmical changes of photosynthetic capacity may be mainly controlled by the activity of C-reduction associated with CO2 uptake during the light period. The CO2 enrichment reduced the ACE and the affinity to CO2, and increased the α, cellular chlorophyll a content and Pm based on cell number. By contrast, the changing patterns of all photosynthetic parameters examined here during the light period had almost the same for cells grown at ambient CO2 and elevated CO2, suggesting that the photosynthetic rhythms of S. costatum are not affected by CO2 enrichment.
