The relationships between carbon isotope discrimination and photosynthesis and rice yield under shading
Authors
Abstract:
The measurement of carbon isotope discrimination (∆) provides an integrated insight into theresponse of plants to environmental change. To investigate the potential use of ∆ for identifyingshade tolerance in rice, five rice varieties were selected and artificially shaded (53% lightreduction) during the grain-filling period in 2010 and 2011, in Sichuan, China. Shadingtreatment had a significant influence on the ∆ of rice organs, resulting in clear increases in the ∆of stems plus sheaths (∆Sm), rice grains (∆Gm) and rice flour (∆Fm) at maturity, but a reductionin the ∆ of leaves (∆Lg) at the grain-filling stage. The relationships between ∆ and leafphotosynthetic and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics and grain yield showed a closedependence on plant organs and light regimes. Under shading treatment, photosynthetic ratewas negatively associated with ∆Gm and the ∆ of stems plus sheaths at the grain-filling stage(∆Sg), whereas ∆Sm was significantly (PPSII (PSII), photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ).Moreover, grain filling and grain weight under shading treatment were positively correlatedwith ∆Sg, but negatively related to ∆Sm in 2011. In contrast, a significantly (Passociation between grain weight and ∆Lg was observed in 2010. It was found that lower valuesof ∆Lg, ∆Sm and ∆Gm in rice indicated better light-harvesting and light-use capability and alsohigher grain filling and grain weight of rice.

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

Stable carbon isotope discrimination (delta13C), photosynthetic performance (A), dry matter accumulation (DW), and sucrose yield (Y(s)) of sugar beet were evaluated in a glasshouse experiment under transient (TS) and permanent (PS) water stress. A was significantly reduced under drought, to an extent depending on stress duration. The reduced A was strictly associated with a low DW and Y(s), the...
full textCarbon isotope discrimination as a tool to explore C4 photosynthesis.
Photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination is a non-destructive tool for investigating C4 metabolism. Tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy provides new opportunities for making rapid, concurrent measurements of carbon isotope discrimination and CO2 assimilation over a range of environmental conditions, and this has facilitated the use of carbon isotope discrimination as a probe of C4 ...
