Rates of carbon dioxide exchange of field-grown tobacco crops at early flowering and maturity were measured using a pair of large closed-system field chambers. Photosynthetic responses to irradiance and temperature were investigated on both occasions. Rate of dark respiration and its response to temperature were measured during the night. Defoliation treatments were employed to disrupt the correlation between leaf age and light environment in the canopy. In these experiments, the short-term photosynthetic response to irradiance was determined for crops that were progressively defoliated upwards or downwards. Long- term effects of varying intensities of downward defoliation were also investigated. Maximum photosynthetic rates of 3.7 g CO2 m-2 h-1 were achieved at early flowering. These had fallen to 1.9 g CO2 m-2 h-1at maturity. Maximum rates occurred at an irradiance of approximately 700 W m-2. Short-term shifts in temperature in the range 10-32°C had little effect during the day, but dark respiration was strongly dependent on temperature. Defoliation experiments demonstrated that lower leaves retained a significant potential for photosynthesis but their contri- bution to the total exchange of CO2 of mature crops was only small. This was attributed in part to the poorer light regime in the lower canopy. Results are discussed in the context of the development of yield and quality in flue-cured tobacco.

Plants in natural environments receive light through sunflecks, the duration and distribution of these being highly variable across the day. Consequently, plants need to adjust their photosynthetic processes to avoid photoinhibition and maximize yield. Changes in the composition of the photosynthetic apparatus in response to sustained changes in the environment are referred to as photosynthetic acclimation, a process that involves changes in protein content and composition. Considering this definition, acclimation differs from regulation, which involves processes that alter the activity of individual proteins over short-time periods, without changing the abundance of those proteins. The interconnection and overlapping of the short- and long-term photosynthetic responses, which can occur simultaneously or/and sequentially over time, make the study of long-term acclimation to fluctuating light in plants challenging. In this review we identify short-term responses of plants to fluctuating light that could act as sensors and signals for acclimation responses, with the aim of understanding how plants integrate environmental fluctuations over time and tailor their responses accordingly. Mathematical modeling has the potential to integrate physiological processes over different timescales and to help disentangle short-term regulatory responses from long-term acclimation responses. We review existing mathematical modeling techniques for studying photosynthetic responses to fluctuating light and propose new methods for addressing the topic from a holistic point of view.

Thirteen common pasture species, (eleven C3 and two C4), were grown in controlled environments at 12/7, 18/13 and 28/23�C and at 350 and 700 ppm CO2 to evaluate the effects of elevated CO2 on their photosynthetic responses. Photosynthesis was measured at the growth temperatures and at both 350 and 700 ppm CO2. In C3 species, short-term (within minutes) increases in CO2 had the greatest effect on photosynthesis, with an average of 50-60% higher rates in plants exposed to 700 ppm CO2 at each temperature. However, there was a continuum of response between the C3 species whereas C4 species were unaffected by short-term changes in CO2. There was also a long-term (4-8 weeks) response to high CO2, with an average of about 40-50% higher rates of photosynthesis, with some response by C4 species. Both short- and long-term responses were negatively correlated with the photosynthetic rate of each species at 350 ppm CO2 and all species were less efficient at converting photosynthate to dry matter at elevated CO2. These data show clearly that photosynthesis of these cool temperate pasture species can respond to elevated CO2, especially at low temperatures. This will have consequences for predicting the potential effects of climate change, accompanied by rising CO2, on pasture ecosystems.
