Alternate partial root-zone irrigation reduces bundle-sheath cell leakage to CO2 and enhances photosynthetic capacity in maize leaves
The physiological basis for the advantage of alternate partial root-zone irrigation (PRI) over common deficit irrigation (DI) in improving crop water use efficiency (WUE) remains largely elusive. Here leaf gas exchange characteristics and photosynthetic CO(2)-response and light-response curves for maize (Zea mays L.) leaves exposed to PRI and DI were analysed under three N-fertilization rates, ...
متن کاملResponses of root growth and distribution of maize to nitrogen application patterns under partial root-zone irrigation
A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen (N) supply andirrigation methods on the root growth and distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) in Wuwei,northwest China in 2011 and 2012. The irrigation treatments included alternate furrow irrigation(AI), fixed furrow irrigation (FI) and conventional furrow irrigation (CI). The N supply treatmentsincluded alternate ...
متن کاملSeparation of mesophyll protoplasts and bundle sheath cells from maize leaves for photosynthetic studies.
Mesophyll protoplasts and bundle sheath strands of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves have been isolated by enzymatic digestion with cellulase. Mesophyll protoplasts, enzymatically released from maize leaf segments, were further purified by use of a polyethylene glycol-dextran liquid-liquid two phase system. Bundle sheath strands released from the leaf segments were isolated using filtration techniques...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic electron transport in isolated maize bundle sheath cells.
Fragments of bundle sheath strands, free of mesophyll cells and showing a chlorophyll a/b ratio of 6.0 to 6.6 were prepared from Zea mays by a mechanical method. They were unable to photoreduce ferricyanide but were able to photoreduce the membrane-permeant 2,5-dimethylquinone at a rate of 250 to 420 microequivalents per hour per mg chlorophyll (mueq/hr . mg Chl) at 21 C. In the presence of the...
متن کاملTemperature response of bundle-sheath conductance in maize leaves.
A small bundle-sheath conductance (g bs) is essential for the C4 CO2-concentrating mechanism to suppress photorespiration effectively. To predict the productivity of C4 crops accurately under global warming, it is necessary to examine whether and how g bs responds to temperature. We investigated the temperature response of g bs in maize by fitting a C4 photosynthesis model to combined gas excha...
