Description:
Leaf anatomy and eco-physiology of Elymus repens, a temperate loess grassland species, were determined after seven years of exposure to 700 μmol (CO2) mol-1 (EC). EC treatment resulted in significant reduction of stomatal density on both surfaces of couch-grass leaves. Thickness of leaves and that of the sclerenchyma tissues between the vessels and the adaxial surfaces, the area of vascular bundle, and the volumes of phloem and tracheary increased at EC while abaxial epidermis and the sclerenchyma layer between the vessel and the abaxial surface were thicker at ambient CO2 concentration (AC). Stomatal conductance and transpiration rates were lower in EC, while net CO2 assimilation rate considerably increased at EC exposure. Contents of soluble sugars and starch were higher in EC-treated couch-grass leaves than in plants grown at AC. and A. I. Engloner ... [et al.].

Description:
An open-top chamber experiment was carried out from April through October 2006 to examine the effects of elevated (80 nmol mol-1) atmospheric O3 on Ginkgo biloba (4-years-old) in urban area. The air with ambient O3 (AA, ≈ 45 nmol mol-1) was used as control. The leaf mass and size, leaf area index, net photosynthetic rate (PN), apparent quantum yield, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance were decreased by elevated O3 (EO) exposure. Visible foliar injury, which is light-brown flecks, was observed in the EO OTCs after 90 d of exposure. Carboxylation efficiency (ΦCO2) and photorespiration and dark respiration rates were enhanced by EO exposure in the first half of the season, but all of them turned to be lower than those of the AA control at the end of experiment. Stomata limitation of photosynthesis was significantly higher than control in the whole season (p<0.05). Chlorophyll (Chl) content was lower in EO variant than in the control and the difference became more and more apparent through the season. Hence the decrease in PN of G. biloba exposed to EO was the result of both stomatal and non-stomatal limitations. In the early season, the inhibition of photosynthesis was mainly caused by the stomatal limitation, and the earliest response was photoprotective down-regulation of photosynthesis but not photodamage. However, at the end of the season, the non-stomatal limiting factors such as decrease in Chl content, decrease in ΦCO2, and anti-oxidative enzyme activity became more important. and X.-Y. He ...

Description:
Net CO2 assimilation rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E), and water use efficiency (WUE) in four perennial C3 species (grasses: Dactylis glomerata, Festuca rupicola, dicots: Filipendula vulgaris, Salvia nemorosa) grown for 231 d in open-top chambers at ambient (CA, 350 µmol mol-1) or elevated (CE, 700 µmol mol-1) CO2 concentrations were compared. When measured at CE, PN was significantly higher in CE plants of all four species than in the CA ones. The increase in PN was less prominent in the two grasses than in the two dicots. The E was significantly higher in the CE-grass F. rupicola and CE-dicot F. vulgaris than in the CA plants. There was no change in E owing to CE in the other grass and dicot. The gs in F. vulgaris and F. rupicola increased, while there was a decrease in D. glomerata and no change in S. nemorosa. WUE increased in all species grown in CE: four- to five-fold in the dicots and less than two-fold in the grasses. The increase in WUE was primarily due to an increase in PN and not to a decrease in E. and K. Szente, Z. Nagy, Z. Tuba.
