Inhibition of seagrass photosynthesis by ultraviolet-B radiation.
Effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on the photosynthesis of seagrasses (Halophila engelmanni Aschers, Halodule wrightii Aschers, and Syringodium filiforme Kütz) were examined. The intrinsic tolerance of each seagrass to ultraviolet-B, the presence and effectiveness of photorepair mechanisms to ultraviolet-B-induced photosynthetic inhibition, and the role of epiphytic growth as a shield from ult...
متن کاملProtection of photosynthesis against ultraviolet-B radiation by carotenoids in transformants of the cyanobacterium synechococcus PCC7942
The cyanobacterium Synechococcus PCC7942 was transformed with various carotenogenic genes, and the resulting transformants either accumulated higher amounts of beta-carotene and zeaxanthin or showed a shift in the carotenoid pattern toward the formation of zeaxanthin. These transformants were exposed to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation, and the degradation of phycobilins, the inactivation of phot...
متن کاملNet Photosynthesis, Electron Transport Capacity, and Ultrastructure of Pisum sativum L. Exposed to Ultraviolet-B Radiation.
Pisum sativum L. was exposed to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (280-315 nm) in greenhouse and controlled environment chambers to examine the effect of this radiation on photosynthetic processes. Net photosynthetic rates of intact leaves were reduced by UV-B irradiation. Stable leaf diffusion resistances indicated that the impairment of photosynthesis did not involve the simple limitation of CO(...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis, Growth, and Ultraviolet Irradiance Absorbance of Cucurbita pepo L. Leaves Exposed to Ultraviolet-B Radiation (280-315 nm).
Net photosynthesis, growth, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation absorbance were determined for the first leaf of Cucurbita pepo L. exposed to two levels of UV-B irradiation and a UV-B radiation-free control treatment. Absorbance by extracted flavonoid pigments and other UV-B radiation-absorbing compounds from the first leaves increased with time and level of UV-B radiation impinging on leaf surfaces...
متن کاملCO(2) Enhancement of Growth and Photosynthesis in Rice (Oryza sativa) : Modification by Increased Ultraviolet-B Radiation.
Two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) IR-36 and Fujiyama-5 were grown at ambient (360 microbars) and elevated CO(2) (660 microbars) from germination through reproduction in unshaded greenhouses at the Duke University Phytotron. Growth at elevated CO(2) resulted in significant decreases in nighttime respiration and increases in photosynthesis, total biomass, and yield for both cultivars. Howev...
