Potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Benimaru) plantlets were cultured under four lighting cycles (photoperiod/dark period: 16 h/8 h, 4 h/2 h, 1 h/0.5 h, and 0.25 h/0.125 h) photoautotrophically (without sugar in the medium), and photomixotrophically (with sugar in the medium) in vitro for 28 days. Simulations of time courses of CO2 concentration in the vessel (Ci) and dry weight accumulation of the plantlets cultured photoautotrophically were conducted using a previously developed model (Niu and Kozai, 1997). While underestimation and overestimation of time courses of Ci in some treatments were observed, the simulated results of Ci and dry weight accumulation of the plantlets generally agreed with the measured ones. The difference of net photosynthetic rate response to Ci throughout the culture period was examined between the plantlets cultured photoautotrophically and photomixotrophically. Quantitative relationship between daily net photosynthetic rate (daily net production) and vessel ventilation rate per plantlet was simulated under various CO2 levels outside the vessel for given sizes of potato plantlets cultured photoautotrophically in vitro to aid appropriate CO2 enrichment and vessel design in commercial micropropagation.

Photosynthesis and the allocation of photosynthetic products are the two main factors that determine plant growth. To understand the growth and productivity of Pinus massoniana Lamb., the diurnal changes in photosynthetic rate were continuously monitored. Furthermore, the translocation and allocation of the photosynthetic products synthesized in the morning and afternoon were explored using 13C pulse labeling. The results showed that: (1) on sunny days, the diurnal variation of the net photosynthetic rate showed a “double peak” curve, with an obvious “a depression” when temperatures were highest and humidity lowest. On cloudy days, it showed an irregular “jagged” curve, which was curve consistent with the variations in photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Meanwhile, the photosynthetic rate changed with the transient changes in environmental factors such as PAR, temperature, and humidity. (2) The mean value of the net photosynthetic rate in the morning was higher than in the afternoon, and the response of the net photosynthetic rate to environmental change (PAR, temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration) in the morning was greater than that in the afternoon. (3) The translocation of photosynthetic products synthesized in the afternoon was faster than that in the morning. Shortly after synthesis of photosynthetic products, the translocation of products synthesized in the morning tended toward upper organs (including current-year leaves and 1-year leaves), while the translocation of products synthesized in the afternoon decreased in the upper organs. However, after 15 days of 13C pulse labeling, the allocation of the photosynthetic products synthesized in the morning and afternoon tended to be the same. These results indicate that the differences in the photosynthetic products synthesized and the temporal differences in the translocation rates did not affect the final allocation of the photosynthetic products in the various organs of the P. massoniana. These results improve our knowledge of the functional phases of P. massoniana during the diurnal cycle.

Lespedeza bicolor has developed root system and the ability of carbon sequestration, which can effectively improve the soil nutrient. We measured the correlation of net photosynthetic rate and physiological and environmental factors using space mutated Lespedeza bicolor of SP1 generation, the change of soil carbon and nitrogen content and microbial biomass was also discussed. The conclusion showed that the diurnal variation of photosynthesis was registered as double-peak curve and had "noon break" phenomenon. It showed strong ability of photosynthesis and its mean diurnal photosynthetic rates was 8.77 umolCO2·m-2s-1. Highly correlation was existed between net photosynthetic rate and atmospheric CO2 concentration ,the content of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen and soil microbial biomass displayed negatively relationship to the depth of the soil. Base on the study , we can conclude that the photosynthetic organic matter was effectively accumulated by Lespedeza bicolor of SP1 generation which made use of atmospheric CO2 and the root system located in the superficial soil has better potential of carbon sequestration.

Pumpkin(Cucubita pepo L.)seedlings were exposed under different low temperature-light regimes to investigate the responses of photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence to the stress. The results indicated that the contents of chlorophyll increased at first day after treatment and then decreased under special temperature(15/5、20/10、25/15°C )and poor light(50、150、250μmol•m-2•s-1).The net photosynthetic rate, evaporation rate, stomata conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration increased one day after treatment and then decreased, stomata limitation increased above15/5°C special temperature and special poor light. However, under 15/5°C temperature and special poor light, the net photosynthetic rate, evaporation rate and stomata conductance decreased, and intercellular CO2 concentration increased stomata limitation increased in 4 days after treatment then decreased. Ft、Yield(F/Fm’)、qP decreased under special temperature and poor light.The change of these parameters were less under the light density of 50μmol•m-2•s-2 than other light densities, which means that poorer light reduced the sensitivity of pumpkin to low temperature and increased the photochemical activity of PS, but the photochemical quenching (qP) decreased and the non-photochemical quenching(qN) increased at the same time.

The needles' light dynamic response for net photosynthetic rate (Pn), the diurnal changes of net photosynthetic rates of annual Mongolian Scots pine and the relationship between of its Pn and environmental factors were studied in this paper by using LI-6400 portable photosynthesis system. Results show that needles at different positions of the crown have different light response for their net photosynthetic rate. Pn, photosynthetic saturated light intensity (PSLI) and light compensation point (LCP) of needles decreased from upper-crown through mid-crown to lower-crown. It suggests that different light dynamic responses of needles at different positions be related to micro-light environment to which needles acclimated in a long time. Diurnal variation of Pn showed a single peak. It had significantly positive correlation with stomatal conduction (Cond), transpiration rate (Tr) (at 0.01 level) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) (at 0.05 level), and significantly negative correlation with the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) (at 0.05 level).

AbstractA well-developed canopy structure can increase the biomass accumulation and yield of crops. Peanut seeds were sown in a soil inoculated with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) and uninoculated controls were also sown. Canopy structure was monitored using a 3-D laser scanner and photosynthetic characteristics with an LI-6400 XT photosynthesis system after 30, 45 and 70 days of growth to explore the effects of the AMF on growth, canopy structure and photosynthetic characteristics and yield. The AMF colonized the roots and AMF inoculation significantly increased the height, canopy width and total leaf area of the host plants and improved canopy structure. AMF reduced the tiller angle of the upper and middle canopy layers, increased that of the lower layer, reduced the leaf inclination of the upper, middle and lower layers, and increased the average leaf area and leaf area index after 45 days of growth, producing a well-developed and hierarchical canopy. Moreover, AMF inoculation increased the net photosynthetic rate in the upper, middle and lower layers. Plant height, canopy width, and total leaf area were positively correlated with net photosynthetic rate, and the inclination angle and tiller angle of the upper leaves were negatively correlated with net photosynthetic rate. Overall, the results demonstrate the effects of AMF inoculation on plant canopy structure and net photosynthetic rate.

Volatile organic compound (VOCs) emission is an important cause of photochemical smog and particulate pollution in urban areas, and urban vegetation has been presented as an important source. Different tree species have different emission levels, so adjusting greening species collocation is an effective way to control biogenic VOC pollution. However, there is a lack of measurements of tree species emission in subtropical metropolises, and the factors influencing the species-specific differences need to be further clarified. This study applied an in situ method to investigate the isoprene emission rates of 10 typical tree species in subtropical metropolises. Photosynthesis and related parameters including photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate, which can influence the emission rate of a single species, were also measured. Results showed Salix babylonica always exhibited a high emission level, whereas Elaeocarpus decipiens and Ligustrum lucidum maintained a low level throughout the year. Differences in photosynthetic rate and stomatal CO2 conductance are the key parameters related to isoprene emission among different plants. Through the establishment of emission inventory and determination of key photosynthetic parameters, the results provide a reference for the selection of urban greening species, as well as seasonal pollution control, and help to alleviate VOC pollution caused by urban forests.
