Decrease in net photosynthesis caused by respiration.
نویسنده
چکیده
CO(2) exchange between air and leaf is conceived as a current along a resistor with a respiratory current, unaffected by CO(2) concentration, entering the resistor. The conclusion follows that a plant placed in an atmosphere free of CO(2) will increase the CO(2) concentration to the compensation concentration along a curve determined by the resistor and the volume of the atmosphere. This was verified. Also a photosynthesis rate calculated from the parameters of the observed curve agreed with an independent observation of photosynthesis in CO(2)-free air. The decrease in net photosynthesis caused by respiration is, according to the model, the CO(2) compensation concentration divided by the concentration in the atmosphere.

Midday depression of net photosynthesis in the tropical rainforest tree Eperua grandiflora: contributions of stomatal and internal conductances, respiration and Rubisco functioning.
High midday temperatures can depress net photosynthesis. We investigated possible mechanisms underlying this phenomenon in leaves of Eperua grandiflora (Aubl.) Benth. saplings. This tropical tree establishes in small gaps in the rainforest canopy where direct sunlight can raise midday temperatures markedly. We simulated this microclimate in a growth chamber by varying air temperature between 28...

Rates of dark respiration and net photosynthesis were measured for six replicate clonal fragments of the stony coral Galaxea fascicularis (Linnaeus 1767), which were incubated under 12 different combinations of dissolved oxygen (20%, 100% and 150% saturation), dissolved carbon dioxide (9.5 and 19.1 µmol l-1) and water flow (1-1.6 versus 4-13 cm s-1) in a repeated measures design. Dark respirati...
متن کاملEffect of short-term salinity on photosynthesis and ion relations in two sugar beet cultivars.
A factorial pot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design in green house condition to investigate the effect of short-term salt stress on leaf photosynthesis and ion relations of two sugar beet cultivars (Madison and 7233-P29). Plants were exposed to 0, 50, 150, 250, and 350 mM salinity (NaCl and CaCl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) for 48 hours. Measurements were done on younges...
متن کاملIn situ temperature relationships of biochemical and stomatal controls of photosynthesis in four lowland tropical tree species.
Net photosynthetic carbon uptake of Panamanian lowland tropical forest species is typically optimal at 30-32 °C. The processes responsible for the decrease in photosynthesis at higher temperatures are not fully understood for tropical trees. We determined temperature responses of maximum rates of RuBP-carboxylation (VCMax ) and RuBP-regeneration (JMax ), stomatal conductance (Gs ), and respirat...

The effects of aminoacetonitrile (a competitive inhibitor of glycine oxidation) on net photosynthesis, glycolate pathway intermediates, and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) levels have been investigated at different O(2) and CO(2) concentrations with soybean (Glycine max)[L] Merr. cv Pioneer 1677) leaf discs floated on 25 millimolar aminoacetonitrile (AAN) for 50 minutes prior to assay.At 2% O(...
