The aim of this study was to compare water vapor conductance and chlorophyll a fluorescence between leaflets and fruits of Dalbergia miscolobium, the Jacaranda tree. The frequency of stomata on the leaflets was 20 times higher than that observed on the fruits, and this was related with the lower conductance of the fruits in comparison with the leaflets. The potential quantum yield of PSII (Fv /Fmax) was significantly lower in fruits than in leaflets. The Fv /Fmax values for leaflets increased to over 0.8 during the afternoon, indicating the occurrence of dynamic photoinhibition. In contrast, Fv /Fmax values for fruits remained low even at early morning, indicating the occurrence of chronic photoinhibition. The maximum values of effective quantum yield (deltaF/F'm), and of the apparent electron transport rate (ETRmax) were higher in leaflets than in fruits. It was concluded that, like other green tissues, the pericarp of D. miscolobium was photosynthetically active, and therefore can contribute to the maintenance of the fruits and/or to the development of the seeds.

Deste modo, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar as trocas gasosas e a fluorescência da clorofila a do gergelim cv. CNPA G3 irrigado com águas salinizadas e adubação com diferentes combinações de nitrato e amônio. O experimento foi conduzido em vasos adaptados como lisímetros em condições de casa-de-vegetação no município de Campina Grande, PB. Os tratamentos foram distribuídos em blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 x 5, sendo cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação - CEa (0,6; 1,2; 1,8; 2,4 e 3,0 dS m-1) e cinco combinações de nitrato-NO3- e amônio-NH4+ (200:0; 150:50; 100:100; 50:150; 0:200 mg de N kg-1 de solo), com três repetições. A salinidade da água de irrigação a partir de 0,6 dS m-1 promoveu depleção nas trocas gasosas e fluorescência da clorofila a do gergelim cv. CNPA G3; a adubação com nitrogênio na forma amoniacal (0/200 NO3-/NH4+) proporcionou efeito negativo sobre a condutância estomática, transpiração foliar e a eficiência quântica potencial do gergelim; o fornecimento de N na forma mista, sobretudo, nas plantas irrigadas com água de elevada salinidade, promoveu incremento na concentração interna de CO2. Houve interação significativa entre os níveis salinos e as combinações de nitrato e amônio para condutância estomática, transpiração foliar e eficiência quântica potencial do gergelim cv. CNPA G3.   Palavras-chave: Sesamum indicum L., Qualidade de água. N-NH4+, N-NO3-, Fotossíntese.       DIAS, A. S.; LIMA, G. S. de; GHEYI, H. R.; NOBRE, R. G.; FERNANDES, P. D.; SILVA, F. A. da GAS EXCHANGE AND PHOTOCHEMICAL EFFICIENCY OF SESAME UNDER SALINE STRESS AND NITRATE-AMMONIUM FERTILIZATION     2 ABSTRACT   In the semiarid region the quality of water used for irrigation varies both geographically and during the year, and water with high salt concentration is a common occurrence, indicating the need for research to find technologies that can minimize the deleterious effects of salinity on plants. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence of sesame cv. CNPA G3 irrigated with saline water and fertilized with different combinations of nitrate and ammonium. The experiment was conducted in lysimeters under greenhouse conditions in the municipality of Campina Grande, PB. Treatments were distributed in randomized blocks, in a 5 x 5 factorial scheme, with five levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water-ECw (0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 and 3.0 dS m-1) and five combinations of nitrate-NO3- and ammonium-NH4+ (200:0, 150:50, 100:100, 50:150, 0:200 mg of N kg-1 of soil), with three replicates. The salinity of irrigation water from 0.6 dS m-1 promoted depletion in gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence of sesame cv. CNPA G3; fertilization with nitrogen in  ammoniacal form (0/200 NO3-/NH4+) affected negatively stomatal conductance, leaf transpiration and potential quantum efficiency of sesame; the supply of N in mixed form, especially in plants irrigated with high salinity water, promoted increase in internal CO2 concentration. There was significant interaction between saline levels and nitrate and ammonium combinations for stomatal conductance, leaf transpiration and quantum efficiency of sesame cv. CNPA G3.   Keywords: Sesamum indicum L. Water quality. N-NH4+, N-NO3-. Photosynthesis.

C4 plants are considered to be less sensitive to drought than C3 plants because of their CO2 concentrating mechanism. The C4 grasses, Paspalum dilatatum Poiret (NADP-ME), Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers (NAD-ME) and Zoysia japonica Steudel (PEPCK) were compared in their response to water deficit imposed by the addition of polyethylene glycol to the nutrient solution in which they were grown. The effects of drought on leaf relative water content (RWC), net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, carboxylating enzyme activities and chlorophyll a fluorescence were investigated. In C. dactylon the RWC was more sensitive, but the photosynthetic activity was less sensitive, to water deficit than in P. dilatatum and Z. japonica. The decrease of photosynthesis in P. dilatatum under water deficit was not closely related to the activities of the carboxylating enzymes or to chlorophyll a fluorescence. However, decreased activities of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, in addition to decreased stomatal conductance, may have contributed to the decrease of photosynthesis with drought in C. dactylon and Z. japonica. The different responses to water deficit are discussed in relation to the natural habitats of C4 grasses.

The mutual shading among individual field-grown maize plants resulting from high planting density inevitably reduces leaf photosynthesis, while regulating the photosynthetic transport chain has a strong impact on photosynthesis. However, the effect of high planting density on the photosynthetic electron transport chain in maize currently remains unclear. In this study, we simultaneously measured prompt chlorophyll a fluorescence (PF), modulated 820 nm reflection (MR) and delayed chlorophyll a fluorescence (DF) in order to investigate the effect of high planting density on the photosynthetic electron transport chain in two maize hybrids widely grown in China. PF transients demonstrated a gradual reduction in their signal amplitude with increasing planting density. In addition, high planting density induced positive J-step and G-bands of the PF transients, reduced the values of PF parameters PIABS, RC/CSO, TRO/ABS, ETO/TRO and REO/ETO, and enhanced ABS/RC and N. MR kinetics showed an increase of their lowest point with increasing high planting density, and thus the values of MR parameters VPSI and VPSII-PSI were reduced. The shapes of DF induction and decay curves were changed by high planting density. In addition, high planting density reduced the values of DF parameters I1, I2, L1 and L2, and enhanced I2/I1. These results suggested that high planting density caused harm on multiple components of maize photosynthetic electron transport chain, including an inactivation of PSII RCs, a blocked electron transfer between QA and QB, a reduction in PSI oxidation and re-reduction activities, and an impaired PSI acceptor side. Moreover, a comparison between PSII and PSI activities demonstrated the greater effect of plant density on the former.

Drought is one of the major factors limiting wheat yield in many developing countries worldwide. Parameters of chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics under drought stress conditions have been used to characterize dehydration tolerance in wheat. In the present study, a set of 94 doubled haploid lines obtained from Chinese Spring × SQ1 (CSDH), mapped with 450 markers, was evaluated for yield (grain dry weight/main stem ear), number of grains/main stem ear (NG) and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters (FC) under moderate and severe drought stress, and compared with results for well-watered plants. quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified using Windows QTLCartographer version 2.5 software and the results were analysed using single-marker analysis (SMA) and composite interval mapping (CIM). Analysis using SMA and CIM showed mostly similar QTLs for all traits, though more QTLs were identified by SMA than by CIM. The genetic control of yield, NG and FC varied considerably between drought-stressed and non-stressed plants. Although no major QTL co-locations were found for yield and FC using CIM, the co-location of QTLs for NG, yield and Fv/Fm in drought-stressed plants was observed on chromosome 5A using SMA.
