Description:
The size, shape, and number of chloroplasts in the palisade and spongy parenchyma layers of Haberlea rhodopensis leaves changed significantly during desiccation and following rehydration. The chloroplasts became smaller and more rounded during desiccation, and aggregated in the middle of the cell. The size and number of chloroplasts in the palisade parenchyma cells were higher than in spongy parenchyma. The good correlation observed between the size or number of chloroplasts and the cross-sectional area of mesophyll cells, the cross-sectional width of the leaf and its water content suggested that the palisade cells were more responsive to water availability than the spongy cells. Changes in chloroplast number during desiccation and rehydration process are characteristic features for desiccation-tolerant plants (especially in homoiochlorophyllous strategy). and H.

Description:
Photosynthesis, chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence, and nitrogen metabolism of hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge.), subjected to exogenous L-glutamic acid (GLA) (200 mg l-1, 400 mg l-1, and 800 mg l-1) that possibly affect secondary metabolic regulation, were measured. The results indicated that photosynthetic and fluorescence characteristics of hawthorn exhibited positive responses to the application of GLA. Different concentrations of GLA caused an increase in Chl content, net photosynthetic rate (PN) and stomatal conductance (g s) as well as transpiration rate (E), and improved the carboxylation efficiency (CE), apparent quantum yield (AQY) and maximum carboxylation velocity of Rubisco (Vcmax). Application of GLA could also enhance the maximum ratio of quantum yields of photochemical and concurrent non-photochemical processes in PSII (Fv/F0), the maximal quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), the probability that an absorbed photon will move an electron into the electron transport chain beyond QA (ΦEo) as well as the performance index on absorption basis (PIABS), but decreased the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and the minimal fluorescence (F0). Application of GLA also induced an increase in nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1) and glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) activities, and increased the soluble protein content, leaf nitrogen (N) content and N accumulation in leaves as well as the plant biomass. However, the effects were different among different concentrations of GLA, and 800 mg l-1 GLA was better. This finding suggested that application of GLA is recommended to improve the photosynthetic capacity by increasing the light energy conversion and CO2 transfer as well as the photochemical efficiency of PSII, and enhanced the nitrogen metabolism and growth and development of plants. and C.

Description:
The leaf water potential, gas-exchange parameters and chlorophyll fluorescence were evaluated in five common oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) tenera hybrids 913X1988, 1425X2277, 748X1988, 7418X1988, and 690X1988 under water deficit with an aim to identify hybrids which can cope up better under such conditions and understand possible differences among hybrids in relation to the physiological mechanisms triggered by water deficit. Our findings indicate oil palm hybrids 913X1988, 1425X2277, and 7418X1988 maintained higher leaf water potentials than the other hybrids. Hybrids 7418X1988 and 1425X2277 recorded lower stomatal conductance after water deficit, which resulted in higher intrinsic water-use efficiency. The excess light energy produced due to decreased photosynthesis in 7418X1988 and 690X1988 hybrids under water deficit was dissipated as heat by higher nonphotochemical quenching. The maximum efficiency of photosystem II was not affected, even after withholding water for 24 days, suggesting an increased efficiency of photoprotection mechanisms in all these oil palm hybrids., K.

Description:
Measurements of Sorbus stomata size and density, maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), variable-to-initial fluorescence ratio (Fv/F0) and potential electron acceptor capacity (‘area’) were performed during leaf development in four parental diploid species, S. aria, S. aucuparia, S. chamaemespilus, S. torminalis, and two hybrid species, S. hazslinszkyana and S. intermedia. In fully expanded mature leaves, stomata lengths and densities were significantly larger in the shrub S. chamaemespilus than in the five tree species. The best performance of both the Fv/Fm and the Fv/F0 ratio was recorded in S. intermedia, whereas S. chamaemespilus had the highest value of ‘area’. From a physiological point of view, the results of this study showed that the photosystem II reaction centers remained intact functionally through all phenological stages of leaf expansion for all examined species of Sorbus., I.

Language:

Description:
By using a wild-type rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Norin No. 8) and the chlorophyll (Chl) b-deficient mutant derived from Norin No. 8 (chlorina 11), the present study monitored the oxygen evolution, contents of Chl a and b, β-carotene, and lutein in leaf and the contents of cytochrome f, and the reaction centres of photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) in thylakoids. The oxygen evolution, maximal quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) and Chl concentration remained constant in both Norin No. 8 and chlorina 11 under 5 and 2% of full sunlight for six days. On the other hand, on the thylakoid level, the PSII reaction centre of chlorina 11 was more stable even under high irradiance, while approximately 40% decrease in levels of the PSII reaction centre occurred under 2% of full sunlight for six days. However, under such conditions, by regulating the stoichiometry of active PSII and PSI centres, the light absorption balance in both rice types was adjusted between the two photosystems. The present study attempted to examine whether the light absorption balance between PSII and PSI is altered to effectively conduct photosynthesis in the wild-type and Chl b-deficient mutant rice seedlings. and J.

Language:

Description:
Differences in structural, physiological, and biochemical features between C3 and C4 species resulted in different wateruse efficiencies and different adaptations to climate. This paper aimed at investigating, at a late successional stage, the water-use efficiency of two forage species, Dichanthium ischaemum and Dasypyrum villosum, which exhibit different growth forms (perenial, annual) and photosynthetic mechanisms (C4 and C3, respectively). The annual C3 species Avena fatua, at an early successional stage, was included in our experiments to contrast its behaviour against D. villosum. The experiment was conducted during the growing season in low-elevation grasslands of North Greece. Midday leaf water potential, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance were measured. Instantaneous water-use efficiency (WUE) and intrinsic water-use efficiency (WUEi) were calculated in D. ischaemum, D. villosum, and A. fatua. The results suggest that, under natural rainfall conditions, the annual C3 grass species D. villosum exhibits a similar WUE with higher values of WUEi than the perennial C4 species D. ischaemum at late stage of succession on the low elevation Mediterranean grasslands. Moreover, A. fatua at an early successional stage, exhibited different photosynthetic behaviour than D. villosum at a late successional stage. These findings indicate that the annual C3 species D. villosum under drought and at a late successional stage seems to modify the WUE obtaining values similar to those of C4 species. The extent to which the ecophysiological characteristics of D. villosum are environmentally or intrinsically determined remains to be answered. and M. Karatassiou, B. Noitsakis.

Description:
Primulina tabacum Hance is an endangered perennial herb distributed in calcium-rich and nitrogen-limited soil of the karst limestone areas in southern China. The morphological, ultrastructural, and physiological traits were determined for P. tabacum populations growing in three different environment conditions: twilight zone of a cave (site TZ, extremely low light intensity), at a cave entrance (site EZ, low light intensity), and in an open area (site OA, high light intensity). At site OA, P. tabacum plants were exposed to high light (635 μmol m-2 s-1 of mean daily photosynthetically active radiation) with drought stress, and expressed traits to minimize light capture and water loss. Compared to plants at sites EZ and TZ, those at site OA had thicker leaves with higher densities of stomata and pubescence, higher palisade/spongy ratio, higher light-saturated rate of net photosynthetic rate (Pmax), higher biomass, higher non-photochemical quenching coefficient (NPQ), and higher light saturation point (LSP) but fewer grana per chloroplast and less thylakoid stacking per granum. In contrast, P. tabacum growing at the cave vicinities: EZ (mean daily irradiance 59 μmol m-2 s-1) and TZ (mean daily irradiance 11 μmol m-2 s-1) showed typical shade-adapted characteristics for optimum light capture. The presence of sun- and shade-adapted characteristics indicates that P. tabacum has different strategies to cope with different environments but whether these strategies reflect genetic selection or phenological plasticity is yet to be determined. Such variability in physiological and morphological traits is important for the survival of P. tabacum in heterogeneous light conditions. and K. M. Liang ... [et al.].

Language:
Multiple languages
Description:
The major light-harvesting chlorophyll (Chl) a/b complexes of photosystem II (LHCIIb) play important roles in energy balance of thylakoid membrane. They harvest solar energy, transfer the energy to the reaction center under normal light condition and dissipate excess excitation energy under strong light condition. Many bamboo species could grow very fast even under extremely changing light conditions. In order to explain whether LHCIIb in bamboo contributes to this specific characteristic, the spectroscopic features, the capacity of forming homotrimers and structural stabilities of different isoforms (Lhcb1-3) were investigated. The apoproteins of the three isoforms of LHCIIb in bamboo are overexpressed in vitro and successfully refolded with thylakoid pigments. The sequences of Lhcb1 and Lhcb2 are similar and they are capable of forming homotrimer, while Lhcb3 lacks 10 residues in the N terminus and can not form the homotrimeric structure. The pigment stoichiometries, spectroscopic characteristics, thermo- and photostabilities of different reconstituted Lhcbs reveal that Lhcb3 differs strongly from Lhcb1 and Lhcb2. Lhcb3 possesses the lowest Qy transition energy and the highest thermostability. Lhcb2 is the most stable monomer under strong illumination among all the isoforms. These results suggest that in spite of small differences, different Lhcb isoforms in bamboo possess similar characteristics as those in other higher plants., Z. H. Jiang ...
