Abstract Background: The research of photosynthetic characteristics of germplasm resources of cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) provides reference for genetic improvement on cotton cultivars. Chlorophyll a fluorescence (CF) is widely used for analysis of photosynthetic activity of plants leaves. However, large number of Chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters (CFPs) and inconsistency CFPs application in different studies confuse researchers, which greatly limit the accuracy of photosynthesis analysis. In this study, all 53 CFPs of 189 upland cotton cultivars (strains) measured by handy PEA were screened at 12:00 and 17:00 separately. Results: 9 CFPs including PI(abs), DIo/CSo, PI(abs, total), Sm/T, Vj, Eto/CSo, REo/CSo, RC/CSo and N at 12:00 and 8 CFPs including PI(abs, total), PI(abs), DIo/CSo, Sm/T, REo/CSo, N, Vj and Eto/CSo at 17:00 are suitable for screening of upland cotton cultivars (strains). The screened CFPs classify and evaluate the photosynthetic characteristics of upland cotton cultivars (strains). Conclusions: CFPs selected can be effect and consistent parameters to evaluate photosynthetic activity of cotton germplasm.

Chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigments content in leaves of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var.italica) cv. ‘Monaco’ F1 and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) cv. ‘Bruce’ F1 transplants were analyzed to investigatethe effects of chilling temperatures (6 and 10 °C) and the exposure length (1 or 2 weeks) on the photosynthetic apparatuscondition in 3-year experiment. Data were compared to control plants exposed to 14 °C for 1 and 2 weeks. The lowest valuesof maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and the performance index (PI) were observed in cauliflowerchilled at 6 °C for 2 weeks. This was not accompanied by any substantial reduction in chlorophylls concentration, however,significant correlations between Fv/Fm or PI and chlorophylls content in cauliflower leaves were found. There was no negativeeffects of chilling on photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content in broccoli leaves, the amount of carotenoids significantlyincreased in the broccoli chilled for 2 weeks in 6 °C. The chlorophyll a fluorescence indices and accelerated carotenoidssynthesis showed that broccoli had less vulnerable photosynthetic apparatus to stress-induced temperatures and more efficientprotection mechanisms in comparison to cauliflower transplants.

Drought is one of the major factors limiting wheat yield in many developing countries worldwide. Parameters of chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics under drought stress conditions have been used to characterize dehydration tolerance in wheat. In the present study, a set of 94 doubled haploid lines obtained from Chinese Spring × SQ1 (CSDH), mapped with 450 markers, was evaluated for yield (grain dry weight/main stem ear), number of grains/main stem ear (NG) and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters (FC) under moderate and severe drought stress, and compared with results for well-watered plants. quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified using Windows QTLCartographer version 2.5 software and the results were analysed using single-marker analysis (SMA) and composite interval mapping (CIM). Analysis using SMA and CIM showed mostly similar QTLs for all traits, though more QTLs were identified by SMA than by CIM. The genetic control of yield, NG and FC varied considerably between drought-stressed and non-stressed plants. Although no major QTL co-locations were found for yield and FC using CIM, the co-location of QTLs for NG, yield and Fv/Fm in drought-stressed plants was observed on chromosome 5A using SMA.

Bryophytes face challenges due to global climate change which is leading to in-depth research in monitoring and studying their photosynthetic activity. The aim of this preliminary experiment was to study the seasonal variation trend in the chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, Fv/Fm (ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence), photochemical fluorescence quenching (qP), photochemical quantum yield of photosystem II (ΦPS II), fluorescence quenching (qN), and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), in the moss cushions of Syntrichia ruralis [Hedw.] collected from semi-arid sandy dunes for two slopes i.e., north-east (NE) and south-west (SW) direction. Our results showed a seasonal and small-spatial scale variation trend in all chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. These variations are due to different seasonal conditions referring to different degrees of environmental stress. ΦPS II and qP values were maximum in winter and in spring seasons while Fv/Fm, NPQ and qN were maximum in summer. Based on the different exposition of dunes, the SW slope showed increased values of the effective quantum yield of PS II and qP in comparison to the NE slope due to the optimal microclimate conditions for their expansion. These results may refer to the future changing in diversification and coverage of the Syntrichia species in semi-arid sandy grassland due to more effective metabolism in the beneficial microclimatic conditions.
