Authors:

The results of study of the morphophysiological components of productivity in serviceberry variety samples are presented. These results revealed that the species A. canadensis, Slayt, and A. alnifolia feature a high level of morphostructural components of productivity under the conditions of the Central Black Earth zone.

Brassica alboglabra Bailey plants were first grown under full nutrient solution for 2, 3 and 4 weeks and then were transferred to phosphorus (P)-deprivation solution for 3 weeks (–P3), 2 weeks (–P2) and 1 week (–P1), respectively. The total growth duration was 5 weeks for all plants and the full P plants were grown under complete nutrient solution for 5 weeks. Full P and –P1 plants had similar ... [Show full abstract] productivity which was significantly higher than –P2 and –P3 plants. P-deprivation treatments caused a reduction of the P concentration in all treated plants compared to full P plants. The total P content per plant was significantly higher in full P than any other P-deprivation plants. P-deprivation did not cause significant changes in chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence Fv/Fm ratio and Chl content. There were no differences in light saturated photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (Asat) and stomatal conductance (gssat) in young leaves (YL) among all plants. However, P-deprivation resulted in reduction of gssat for old leaves (OL).Full P plants had the lowest soluble sugarsaccumulated inboth YL and OL compared to P-deprivation plants. There were no significant differences in the concentration of insoluble sugar of YL among all plants. The concentration of insoluble sugar in OL of full P and –P3 plants were significantly lower than in –P1 and –P2 plants. This study concludes that B. alboglabraBaileyplants are able to accumulate adequate P in its early growth stages and reserves of P are sufficient one week before harvest for quality crop yield. Relationships among productivity, photosynthesis and carbohydrate levels under P deprivation at different growth stage were discussed.

42 Role of Plant Growth Regulators in Stomatal Limitation to Photosynthesis during Water Stress

March 2005

Although water is the most abundant molecule on the Earth’s surface, the availability of water greatly restricts terrestrial plant production. Thus, if we want to increase productivity of agriculture and forestry we need to understand how plants regulate their water status and the physiological consequences of water stress. © 2005 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC CRC Press is an imprint of Taylor & ...

December 2018

The expected rise in [CO2] concentration from 400 to 550 μmol mol⁻¹ by the middle of this century will have a significant impact on crop productivity and quality. For C3 plant species, photosynthesis, biomass, and yield will be substantially increased at elevated CO2 levels, whereas only a small increase will be observed for C4 plants. For both C4 and C3 species, stomatal conductance will ... [Show full abstract] significantly be reduced, and this will greatly improve the water use efficiency in all the functional groups. Elevated CO2 will modify many of the grain quality traits such as proteins, minerals (zinc and iron), fatty acid composition, and starch properties. However, when accompanied by rising temperatures and periodic drought, some of the positive impacts on crop yield will be reduced. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying the response of crop plants to high CO2 is important to prepare effectively for food security issues in the future. Further, understanding the genetic basis for responding to elevated CO2 and breeding new crops adapted is essential to address immediate global food security concerns.

Leaf Area and Productivity in Grasslands

January 1977

Erika Geyger

In searching for causal analyses of the productivity of plants, scientists of various branches of biology have endeavoured to find adequate methods. The basic process of organic matter production, photosynthesis, has become an increasingly interesting target of quantitative investigation; Šesták, Čatský & Jarvis (1971) report on at least nine different methodical approaches. Many of them include ... [Show full abstract] measurement of the assimilatory surface, as it is the essential part of the plant body in CO2 -exchange and sun energy fixation. These invisible processes can be detected by the presence of intact Chlorophyll. Active green (chlorophyllous) surfaces are found mainly spread out in flat leaves, but are also present on stems, leaf sheathes, buds, fruits and even under the bark of branches. The amount of green surfaces can be expressed in terms of the ratio of foliage area to unit land area, the “leaf area index (LAI)”, introduced by Watson (1947).

Environmental MicrobiologyArsenic in action

October 2008 · Nature Reviews Microbiology

The first species of bacteria that derives its energy from arsenic through anoxygenic photosynthesis has now been discovered. As reported in Science, this finding by Kulp and colleagues may have important implications for how the arsenic cycle was established and maintained on the ancient anoxic Earth.

Michinao Kojima

This paper presents the method for estimating coupled photosynthetic and stomatal conductance model parameters using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method based on Metropolis algorithm. Photosynthesis model have important parameters to estimate photosynthetic rate. The parameter values vary a great deal depending on plant species and growth environment. For this reason appropriate parameter ... [Show full abstract] estimation is important to apply the model to understand biological process.

Biomass and the Problems of Ecology, Agrochemistry and Energy

December 1991 · Studies in Environmental Science

E.S. Pantskhava

This chapter describes the biomass and the problems of ecology, agrochemistry, and energy. There are a number of possible applications of modern biomass—the major accumulator of solar energy on the Earth—as an additional fuel source. The introduction of achievements in bioenergetics into the national economy depends, first of all, on the solution of the tasks connected with intensification of ... [Show full abstract] organic material conversion to fuel and with large-scale production of biomass. Only intensive and fundamental research into the problem will enable a highly-efficient branch of the national economy to meet the requirements of scientific and technical progress that will be established. The solution of problems of bioenergetics depends on: the prospect for and development of highly-productive sources of biomass, for example, photosynthesis, production of woody biomass, and industrial cultivation of plants. Biomass is not only a source of future energy, but, is life on the Earth. However, biomass contribution to power engineering will vary depending on the biomass yield and productivity in each individual country.

Plant stand architecture, photosynthesis and productivity

January 1981

Juhan Ross

In terms of energy, an increase in crop yields is equivalent to an increase in the amount of PAR absorbed by crops and to its optimal utilization by plants in the process of photosynthesis. Since the stand architecture is closely related to its radiation regime, a question arises as to what role the stand architecture plays in photosynthesis and productivity and to what extent the stand ...

Primary Plant Production during Increasing Global CO2 Concentration

January 1984

H. Z. Enoch

During the 3,400 million years photosynthesizing organisms have existed on Earth, the global atmospheric CO2 concentration has not been constant. Plants have modified and are in turn influenced by atmospheric CO2 concentration. In the last 100 years the global CO2 concentration has increased from a pre-industrial level of about 280 ppm to the present 340 ppm. Further increases are expected to ... [Show full abstract] lead to a doubling or even a several-fold increase of atmospheric CO2 during the next one or two centuries. These elevated CO2 concentrations are expected to affect the productivity and modify the global climate. An overview of the plant processes which are likely to be affected are presented. The implication of the changes in CO2 concentration for photosynthesis is discussed. A research technique which can be used to study the influence of elevated atmospheric CO2 on managed and unmanaged plant communities is outlined.
