A study of photosynthesis of two grapevine cultivars, Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay and cv. Merlot in relation to the seasonal climate and internal CO2 (Ci) concentration at leaf temperatures from 15 to 45°C was undertaken. Average rates of photosynthesis at saturating CO2 concentrations and all leaf temperatures were higher in Merlot compared with Chardonnay leaves. This was attributable to higher rates of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylation (Vcmax) and regeneration (Jmax) in Merlot leaves. These differences in photosynthesis were extended as the season progressed, partly because rates of RuBP carboxylation and regeneration of Chardonnay leaves declined markedly whereas rates for Merlot leaves remained high. Although there was no cultivar difference in the seasonal average temperature optima for assimilation (34°C) and the underlying metabolism (40°C for Vcmax and 35°C for Jmax), for temperatures above 35°C, the Merlot leaves had 50% higher rates. Across the season, activation energies of the temperature sensitivity of Vcmax and Jmax declined in response to the seasonal climate but were consistently lower in Merlot than Chardonnay. This suggested some apparent differences in the biochemistry occurred between the two cultivars that limited assimilation in Chardonnay leaves, especially at higher temperatures, but did not limit assimilation in Merlot leaves.

Rooted cuttings of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sultana; syn. Thompson Seedless) were grown under glasshouse conditions and supplied with dilute nutrient solution containing either 0 or 90 mM of added NaCl. Growth and photosynthetic response to salt treatment and subsequent recovery were followed over 80 days. Shoot growth and photosynthesis were reduced by salt treatment. At relatively low concentrations of leaf chloride (< c. 150 mM, on a tissue water basis), photosynthetic reduction was largely due to increased stomatal resistance. Internal disturbances were involved at higher leaf Cl- concentrations (> c. 150 mM) and included an apparent reduction in photochemical efficiency and a faster rate of photorespiration. Levels of fraction I protein, and specific activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase measured in vitro, were not reduced by salt treatment. Vines showed remarkable adaptation to salinity insofar as leaves maintained positive turgor despite leaf Cl- concentrations exceeding 300 mM, implying osmotic adjustment. Cessation of salt treatment led to an immediate decrease in leaf Cl-, a promotion of shoot growth and a progressive recovery in photosynthesis accompanied by a marked but not necessarily concurrent reduction in both stomatal and internal resistances. Leaves tolerated Cl- levels up to 200 mM (under glasshouse conditions) without sustaining permanent reduction in photosynthetic activity. New shoots formed subsequent to stress relief are not a prerequisite for Cl- retranslocation from mature leaves as decapitation at the time of stress relief did not prevent attenuation of leaf Cl- or recovery in photosynthesis.
