(IF=5.345) Abstract: The beneficial effects of elevated CO2 on plants are expected to be compromised by the negative effects posed by other global changes. However, little is known about ozone (O3)-induced modulation of elevated CO2 response in plants with differential sensitivity to O3. An old (Triticum aestivumcv. Beijing 6, O3 tolerant) and a modern (T. aestivumcv. Zhongmai 9, O3 sensitive) winter wheat cultivar were exposed to elevated CO2 (714 ppm) and/or O3 (72 ppb, for 7h d(-1)) in open-topped chambers for 21 d. Plant responses to treatments were assessed by visible leaf symptoms, simultaneous measurements of gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence, in vivo biochemical properties, and growth. It was found that elevated CO2 resulted in higher growth stimulation in the modern cultivar attributed to a higher energy capture and electron transport rate compared with the old cultivar. Exposure to O3 caused a greater growth reduction in the modern cultivar due to higher O3 uptake and a greater loss of photosystem II efficiency (mature leaf) and mesophyll cell activity (young leaf) than in the old cultivar. Elevated CO2 completely protected both cultivars against the deleterious effects of O3 under elevated CO2 and O3. The modern cultivar showed a greater relative loss of elevated CO2-induced growth stimulation due to higher O3 uptake and greater O3-induced photoinhibition than the old cultivar at elevated CO2 and O3. Our findings suggest that the elevated CO2-induced growth stimulation in the modern cultivar attributed to higher energy capture and electron transport rate can be compromised by its higher O3 uptake and greater O3-induced photoinhibition under elevated CO2 and O3 exposure.
植物叶片通常是绿色的,这样可以最大限度的吸收光合有效辐射完成光合作用。但,也有一些植物的叶片是灰色的,灰色的叶片能给植物带来什么好处?或者它依然像黑叶麦冬一样只是一个中性突变? 今日,中国科学院昆明植物研究所的Niu等人发现,拥有灰色叶片的囊距紫堇( Corydalis benecincta )相比于绿叶的植株其光合能力、繁殖力等生理形状没有多大的改变,但灰叶的囊距紫堇受到食草动物的破坏较少,主要是因为它们与环境很相似,从而躲避了食草动物的注意。作者认为这可能是灰叶囊距紫堇在长期进化的选择压力下的结果。 他们的研究论文“Grey leaves in an alpine plant: a cryptic colouration to avoidattack?”已经发表在国际知名期刊New Phytologist上。 更多阅读: 黑叶光合作用
