As a secondary messenger, calcium participates in various physiological and biochemical reactions in plants. Photosynthesis is the most extensive biosynthesis process on Earth. To date, researchers have found that some chloroplast proteins have Ca2+-binding sites, and the structure and function of some of these proteins have been discussed in detail. Although the roles of Ca2+ signal transduction related to photosynthesis have been discussed, the relationship between calcium and photosynthesis is seldom systematically summarized. In this review, we provide an overview of current knowledge of calcium’s role in photosynthesis.

Light conditions and nitrogen fertilizer are crucial for plant growth, especially in the underground situations without sunlight and nitrogen deposition. In this paper, the effects of photoperiod (12 h and 16 h lighting time per day), light intensity (200, 300 and 400 μmol m−2 s−1) and nitrogen addition (0, 0.15, 0.3 and 0.45 g N kg−1 soil) on pakchoi growth and specific soil enzyme activity were investigated. The results demonstrated that there were strong interactive effects of light intensity and nitrogen addition on plant yield. The plant yield changed parabolically with increasing nitrogen addition when a light intensity was given between 200 and 300 μmol m−2 s−1, while the yield decreased linearly with increasing nitrogen application under the light intensity of 400 μmol m−2 s−1. The combination of 16 h photoperiod, 300 μmol m−2 s−1 light intensity and 0.3 g N kg−1 soil nitrogen addition was the best for pakchoi growth. The investigation of soil enzyme showed that the activity of urease responded negatively to nitrogen addition, whereas the activity of phosphatase had positive correlation with light intensity but was not affected by nitrogen addition. Our results suggested that the toxic effect of excessive nitrogen was a better explanation for the interactive effects of light and nitrogen than the plant-microbe interaction framework. The critical toxicity level of nitrogen for pakchoi was determined and showed negative correlation with light intensity.

Initial Color

A number of environmental variables have been identified as affecting anuran color, but rarely have the interactions between these variables been investigated. In attempt to elucidate the function of color change, we conducted a within-subject, full factorial experiment designed to determine the simple and interactive effects of background, temperature, and light intensity on the rate of color change in the Pacific tree frog (Hyla regilla Baird and Girard, 1852). Color was investigated holistically, as well as by decomposing it into its constituent parts (hue, chroma, and lightness), using digital photography. The rate of color change was faster on the green versus the brown background, at 10 versus 25 °C, and at low versus high light intensity. There was also a significant effect of the interaction between background color and temperature on the rate of color change. We found increased rates of hue, chroma, lightness, and color change with increasing initial hue, chroma, lightness, and color distances between the Pacific tree frog and its background, respectively. In addition, initial color distance covaried with changes in environmental variables. After controlling for initial color distance, and thus the effects of background matching, background color and temperature still showed a significant interaction for their effects on rate of color change. These results suggest that crypsis (i.e., background matching) is not the only function of physiological color change in H. regilla. Physiological color change may also be used to hydro- and (or) thermo-regulate.
