摘要  

叶片的光照异质性可引起其结构与生理功能的异质性。对于单个叶片来说,其叶片不同部位的受光往往存在较大的异质性。然而,单个叶片不同部位的异质性光照如何影响其所在部位的结构与生理功能尚未明确。本研究以具有叶片翘曲特性的海岛棉为材料,开展田间原位测定和遮荫模拟试验。田间试验测定了东西南北四个方向叶片主脉两侧的光合特性和形态结构。研究表明,各方向叶片主脉两侧的光合能力的差异与光照日辐射量(DPI)密切相关。这表明叶片主脉两侧的光合异质性受其自身的光照日辐射量的影响。进一步通过叶片局部遮荫模拟试验验证了这一结论。同时,局部遮荫叶片未遮荫侧的光合能力和叶片厚度等显著低于未遮荫叶片。因此,单个叶片的不同部位间存在光合性能的系统调控




Abstract  Light heterogeneity leads to anatomically and physiologically heterogeneous features in leaves.  However, little attention has been paid to the effects of nonuniform illumination on the anatomical and photosynthetic performance on both sides along the leaf main vein.  This study explored such effects by combining in situ determination in the field with shading simulation in the phytotron, on pima cotton that has cupping leaves.  Photosynthetic characteristics and morphological structures were measured in the field on both sides along the main vein of eastward, westward, southward, and northward leaves.  The results showed that the difference in photosynthetic capacity between the two sides along the main vein in different directions was closely related to the daily photo irridiance (DPI).  This result indicates that the photosynthetic heterogeneity between the two sides is related to their intercepted light energy.  The conclusion was further verified by the shading simulation experiments.  Photosynthetic capacity and leaf thickness of the unshaded sides of leaves in the half-shaded treatment decreased, compared to those in the unshaded treatment.  Therefore, it is conjectured that the development of  photosynthetic characteristics on one side is systematically regulated by that on the other side.  The study provides theoretical guidance on accessing the feasibility of sampling and directional planting.
