Abstract:

【Objective】 The objective of this paper was to study the effects of low temperature treatment below the daily variation rule of natural temperature on leaf photosynthetic properties of wheat. 【Method】 The environment-controlled phytotron experiments with two different temperature sensitive wheat cultivars were conducted under four low temperature levels and two low temperature durations at jointing and booting stages. During low temperature treatment stage and in 7 days after low temperature treatments, the photosynthetic and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics in wheat leaves were measured. 【Result】 During low temperature treatment stage, the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), transpiration rate (Tr), maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) , PSⅡ actual photochemical efficiency (ФPSII) and photochemical quenching (qP) decreased with the decreasing temperature. During jointing stage, Pn, Gs, Tr, Fv/Fm, ФPSII and qP decreased firstly and then increased with the increasing of low temperature duration, while the decreased trends were observed in the response of Pn, Gs, Tr, Fv/Fm, ФPSII and qP to low temperature duration when low temperature treatments were conducted at booting stage. After low temperature treatments, except for T4 (Tmin/Tmax/Tavg, -6℃/4℃/-1℃) at booting stage, Pn, Gs, Tr, Fv/Fm, ФPSII, qP and NPQ in all low temperature treatments could recover to the same status with T1. Moreover, under low temperature treatments, the relative of Fv/Fm, ФPSII and qP were significantly positively correlated to the relative Pn, while the relative NPQ was significantly negatively correlated to the relative Pn. Compared with the relative of Fv/Fm and NPQ, the correlation coefficients between the relative of ФPSII, qP and Pn were more higher. 【Conclusion】 The decreases in photosynthetic rate of leaves under low temperature condition were mainly attributed to the decreased ФPSII and qP, leading to the reduction of dry matter accumulation, finally caused the lower grain yield of wheat.
