Photosynthetic units of sun and shade plants.
A computer analysis of fluorescence induction curves of leaves treated with 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1 dimethylurea was done for several species. These measurements gave the ratios of the total chlorophyll to photosystem II reaction centers. This communication is a preliminary survey of sun and shade plants and demonstrates a significant variation in this ratio. In the sun plants, the photosynt...
متن کاملAdaptation to Sun and Shade: A Whole-plant Perspective
Whole-plant energy capture depends not only on the photosynthetic response of individual leaves, but also on their integration into an effective canopy, and on the costs of producing and maintaining their photosynthetic capacity. This paper explores adaptation to irradiance level in this context, focusing on traits whose significance would be elusive if considered in terms of their impact at th...
متن کاملAdaptation and acclimation of photosynthetic microorganisms to permanently cold environments.
Persistently cold environments constitute one of our world's largest ecosystems, and microorganisms dominate the biomass and metabolic activity in these extreme environments. The stress of low temperatures on life is exacerbated in organisms that rely on photoautrophic production of organic carbon and energy sources. Phototrophic organisms must coordinate temperature-independent reactions of li...
متن کاملTransformed Root Cultures of Solanum dulcamara L.: A Model for Studying Production of Secondary Metabolites
Solanum dulcamara L. (dogwood or bitter sweet), Solanaceae, is one of the recommended species for growing in the temperate regions as a source of steroidal alkaloids. These alkaloids are suggested to be alternatives for diosgenin in the commercial production of steroidal pharmaceuticals (Mathé et al., 1986). Steroidal alkaloids like solasodine and its C25 epimer tomatidenol can be easily conver...
متن کاملCrassulacean acid metabolism. A plastic photosynthetic adaptation to arid environments.
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an important elaboration of photosynthetic carbon fixation that allows chloroplast-containing cells to fix CO2 initially at night using phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in the cytosol. This leads to the formation of C4 organic acids (usually malate), which are stored in the vacuole. Subsequent daytime decarboxylation of these organic acids behind clos...
