The high-yielding rice cultivar Takanari has fast photosynthetic induction owing to a high electron transport rate, stomatal conductance, and metabolic flux, leading to high daily carbon gain under fluctuating light.

Fluctuating light (FL) and drought stress usually occur concomitantly. However, whether drought stress affects photosynthetic performance under FL remains unknown. Here, we measured gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, and P700 redox state under FL in drought-stressed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedlings. Drought stress significantly affected stomatal opening and mesophyll conductance after transition from low to high light and thus delayed photosynthetic induction under FL. Therefore, drought stress exacerbated the loss of carbon gain under FL. Furthermore, restriction of CO2 fixation under drought stress aggravated the over-reduction of photosystem I (PSI) upon transition from low to high light. The resulting stronger FL-induced PSI photoinhibition significantly supressed linear electron flow and PSI photoprotection. These results indicated that drought stress not only affected gas exchange under FL but also accelerated FL-induced photoinhibition of PSI. Furthermore, drought stress enhanced relative cyclic electron flow in FL, which partially compensated for restricted CO2 fixation and thus favored PSI photoprotection under FL. Therefore, drought stress has large effects on photosynthetic dark and light reactions under FL.

Drought stress is a major limiting factor for crop growth and yield. Water availability in the field can cyclically change between drought and rewatering conditions, depending on precipitation patterns. Concurrently, light intensity under field conditions can fluctuate, inducing dynamic photosynthesis and transpiration during crop growth period. The present study aimed to characterize carbon gain and water use in fluctuating light under drought and rewatering conditions by conducting gas exchange measurements in two major crops, namely rice and soybean. In both crops, drought stress reduced steady-state photosynthesis and/or photosynthetic capacity, and delayed photosynthetic induction even when it had relatively small impact on photosynthetic capacity, suggesting that the drought effects on photosynthesis should be evaluated based on induction, maximum, and steady states. This delayed photosynthetic induction resulted in a substantial loss of carbon gain under fluctuating light conditions, which can be a limiting factor for crop growth and yield in the field. Meanwhile, rewatering after drought conditions completely recovered photosynthetic capacity and induction in both crops, whereas drought experience would be memorized to slow down the stomatal opening. Therefore, the stability of photosynthetic induction can be a promising target to improve drought tolerance during crop breeding in the future.

The response of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation to changes of illumination affects plant growth and crop productivity under natural fluctuating light conditions. However, the effects of nitrogen (N) supply on photosynthetic physiology after transition from low to high light are seldom studied. To elucidate this, we measured gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence under fluctuating light in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedlings grown with different N conditions. After transition from low to high light, the induction speeds of net CO2 assimilation (AN), stomatal conductance (gs) and mesophyll conductance (gm) delayed with the decline in leaf N content. The times to reach 90% of maximum AN, gs and gm were negatively correlated to leaf N content. This delayed photosynthetic induction in plants grown under low N concentration was mainly caused by the slow induction response of gm rather than that of gs. Furthermore, the photosynthetic induction upon transfer from low to high light was hardly limited by photosynthetic electron flow. These results indicate that decreased leaf N content declines carbon gain under fluctuating light in tomato. Increasing the induction kinetics of gm has the potential to enhance the carbon gain of field crops grown in infertile soil.
