    Notes: Abstract Two weeks old maize (Zea mays L. cv. XL-72.3) plants were submitted to 0 to 81 g m-3 Al for 20 d in a growth medium of low ionic strength. The increasing Al concentrations sharply increased chlorophyll (Chl) concentrations. The rates of photosystem 2 activities (H2O→DCPIP and DPC→DCPIP) increased at 9 g(Al) m-3 but at higher Al doses they decreased again. A slight decrease of qE and qN coupled to an increase of qP was also observed until the 27 g m-3 Al. The Al-induced decline in cytochrome (cyt) b contents per Chl unit was parallel for the b559LP and cyt b559HP forms, but on a leaf area basis more or less opposite trend in both these cyt forms was observed. Increased Al concentrations also decreased carotene and zeaxanthin contents.

    Notes: Abstract Two-weeks-old maize (Zea mays L. cv. XL-72.3) plants were submitted to Al concentrations of 0-81 g m-3 for 20 d, after which the A1 concentration-dependent effects on CO2 uptake by the mesophyll tissue and subsequent CO2 assimilation in the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle of bundle sheath cells were investigated. The net photosynthetic rate (PN) and stomatal conductance (gs) increased continuously up to 27 g m-3 Al, whereas the intercellular CO2 concentration showed minimum values with the 27 g m-3 Al treatment. Moreover, the starch and saccharide concentrations, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase did not change significantly with increasing Al concentrations. The photosynthetic electron transport rates along with photosystems 2 and 1 started falling from 9 g m-3 Al onwards, while thylakoid acyl lipid composition did not show a clear pattern. With the Al concentration at 81 g m-3, NADP-malate dehydrogenase activity decreased to minimum values, whereas the opposite occurred with those of pyruvate dikinase, NADP-malic enzyme, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Thus in vivo Al concentrations modulate the photosynthetic reduction cycle, possibly by interacting with the carbon flow rate exported to the cytosol. Although the inhibition of NADP-malate dehydrogenase activity might limit pyruvate dikinase, NADP-malic enzyme, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activities, in vivo the balance between phosphoenolpyruvate production and its carboxylation remains unaffected.

    Aluminium Toxicity Modulates Nitrate to Ammonia Reduction (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Two weeks-old maize (Zea mays cv. XL-72.3) plants were exposed to Al concentrations 0 (Al0), 9 (Al9), 27 (Al27) or 81 (Al81) g m-3 for 20 d in a growth medium with low ionic strength. Thereafter, the Al concentration-dependent interactions on root nitrate uptake, and its subsequent reduction to ammonia in the leaves were investigated. Al concentrations in the roots sharply increased with increasing Al concentrations while root elongation correspondingly decreased. Root fresh and dry masses, acidification capacity, and nitrate and nitrogen contents decreased from Al27 onwards, whereas leaf nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia concentrations decreased starting with Al9. Electrolytic conductance increased by 60 % in root tissues from Al0 to Al81 but it did not increase significantly in the leaves. In Al9, Al27, and Al81 plants a decrease in shoot fresh and dry masses was observed. Al concentrations between 0 and 27 g m-3 increased net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and the quantum yield of photosynthetic electron transport, whereas the intercellular CO2 concentration was minimum in Al27 plants. In the leaves, nitrate reductase (E.C. 1.6.6.1) activity increased until Al27, and nitrite reductase (E.C. 1.6.6.4) activity until Al81. Hence there may be an Al mediated extracellular and intracellular regulation of root net nitrate uptake. Nitrate accumulation in the roots affects the translocation rates and, therefore, the nitrate concentration in the leaves. The in vivo reducing power generated by the photosynthetic electron flow does not limit nitrate to ammonia reduction, and the increase of maximum nitrate and nitrite reductase activities parallels the decreasing nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia concentrations.

    Drought Effects on Membrane Lipids and Photosynthetic Activity in Different Peanut Cultivars (2000)

    Notes: Abstract The effects of drought on thylakoid acyl lipid composition, photosynthetic capacity (P max), and electrolyte lekage were evaluated in two-months-old peanut cultivars (57-422, 73-30, GC 8-35) growing in a glasshouse. For lipid studies, plants were submitted to three treatments by withholding irrigation: control (C), mild water stress (S1), and severe water stress (S2). Concerning membrane and photosynthetic capacity stability, drought was imposed by polyethylene glycol (PEG 600). In the cv. 73-30 a sharp decrease in the content of thylakoid acyl lipids was observed, already under S1 conditions, whereas cv. 57-422 was strongly affected only under S2. Cv. GC 8-35 had the lowest content of acyl lipids under control conditions, a significant increase under S1 conditions, and only under S2 a decrease occurred. Thus concerning lipid stability, cv. 73-30 was the most sensitive. Among lipid classes, phospholipids and galactolipids were similarly affected, as was MGDG relatively to DGDG. Water deficit imposed by PEG induced a higher increase in electrolyte leakage in cv. 73-30 than in the other cvs. A positive relationship between acyl lipid concentration and membrane integrity was found in all studied cvs. A positive association between acyl lipid concentration, membrane integrity, and P max was found in the cvs. 57-422 and 73-30.

    Notes: Abstract Photosynthetic capacity (PC) of three peanut cultivars (Arachis hypogaea L. cvs. 57-422, 73-30, and GC 8-35) decreased during drought stress (decline in relative water content from ca. 95 to 70 %) and recovered two days after rewatering. Mild water stress was not limiting for the total ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity, since this enzyme activity increased under drought. Photosystem (PS) 2 and PS1 (the latter only in cv. GC 8-35) electron transport activities decreased under drought. The ratio of the variable to maximal chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) decreased mainly in the cv. GC 8-35. All cultivars showed decreases in photochemical quenching (qP) and quantum yield of PS2 electron transport (Φe). Increase of basal fluorescence (F0) was observed in the cvs. 73-30 and GC 8-35, while the cv 57-422 showed a decrease. After rewatering a sharp increase was observed in the majority of the parameters. Thus under the present stress conditions, the cv GC 8-35 was the most affected for all the parameters under study. The cv. 57-422 showed a higher degree of tolerance being gradually affected in photosynthetic capacity (PC) in contrast to the two other cvs. which showed a sharp decrease in PC at the beginning of the drought cycle.
