Abstract:

The aim was to study the photosynthetic characteristics and assimilates distribution of Olea europaea. photosynthetic indexes and assimilates were measured with Li-6400XT photosynthetic instrument and carbon-13 isotope labeling. The results showed that, the diurnal variation of photosynthesis of the three varieties presented a bimodal curve and an obvious ‘midday depression’ phenomenon. The main factors affecting net photosynthetic rate were stomatal conductivity and air CO2 concentration. The three O. europaea varieties were strong light demander. The light compensation point and light saturation point of the three O. europaea varieties were higher than general sun species. There were differences in photosynthetic parameters and CO2 response curves parameters among the three varieties. ‘Foao’ and ‘Ezhi 8’ had a strong photosynthetic capability, a wide utilization range and a high utilization rate of light and CO2. The photosynthetic assimilates mainly concentrated in leaves and the distribution rate was 39.52%-49.92% after the 72 hours of 13C isotope labeling. The photosynthetic assimilates concentrated in seeds was the least and the distribution rate was only 6.67%-8.18%.

Key words: Olea europaea, diurnal variation of photosynthesis, relevant parameters of photosynthetic light response curve, relevant parameters of photosynthetic CO2 response curve, photoassimilate partitioning
