Abstract:

It is of great significance to study the responses of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration of plants to photosynthetic active radiation, to evaluate the utilization efficiency of light energy and water and the plant growth under different light conditions. In the present study, three vine plants (Vinca major, Passiflora caerulea and Campsis grandiflora) were used to measure their gas exchange and chlorophyll content under different light levels. The photosynthetic parameters were estimated according to non-rectangular hyperbola model. The results showed that: the light saturated point and the maximum net photosynthetic rate of P. caerulea were 1850 μmol CO2/( m2·s) and 10.9 μmol CO2/(m2·s), respectively, significantly higher than those of V. major and C. grandiflora. V. major was strongly resistant to weak light with a lower light saturation point of 580 μmol CO2/( m2·s), significantly lower than that of the other two plants. There was no significant difference in apparent quantum yield among the three plants, indicating they had similar ability to use weak light. The chlorophyll content of V. major was significantly higher than that of P. caerulea, but P. caerulea had a higher ratio of chlorophyll a/b than V. major. P. caerulea had a wide range of light adaptation and stronger utilization of low and high light. Therefore, the photosynthetic capacity of P. caerulea is higher than that of V. major and C. grandiflora.

Key words: maximum light net photosynthetic rate, light compensation point, light saturated point, apparent quantum yield, water use efficiency
