Abstract:

Three-year-old seedlings of Sinocalycanthus chinensis were used as experimental materials and set up eightalkaline salt NaHCO3 treatment levels (CK, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%) to explore the effects of different alkaline salt stresses on the photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics of Sinocalycanthus chinensis, whichprovided theoretical guidance for the production practice and cultivation of Sinocalycanthus chinensis. The results showed that under NaHCO3 stress, photosynthetic indices such as net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), stomatal conductance (Gs), water use efficiency (WUE), maximum net photosynthetic rate (Pnmax) and light saturation point (LSP) all showed downward trends, and the higher the concentration was, the more significant the decline. The intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) exhibited changes of decreasing followed by increase, while the light compensation point (LCP) showed an upward trend. With the increase of NaHCO3 concentration, the OJIP curve of Sinocalycanthus chinensis leaves gradually showed an obvious K point, and Fo exhibited changes of decreasing followed by increase, while Fm, Fv, Fv/Fm and Fv/Fo exhibited changes of increasing followed by decrease. The light energy absorbed by the unit reaction center ABS/RC, the energy dissipated by heat DIo/RC and the energy captured for QA reduction TRo/RC all exhibited changes of decreasing followed by increase, while the energy used for electron transfer in the unit reaction center ETo/RC gradually decreased. It indicated that the alkaline salt stress caused damage to the photosynthetic system of Sinocalycanthus chinensis, and the higher the concentration was, the greater the damage degree was. Low concentration of NaHCO3 stress caused the decrease of net photosynthetic rate Pnof Sinocalycanthus chinensis due to stomatal limitation and had a weak inhibitory effect on the photochemical fluorescence performance of leaves, which properly improved the activity of PSⅡreaction center. The reason for the decrease of Pn caused by high concentration (>0.3%) stress might be non-stomatal restriction, seriously damaging the donor side and receptor side of PSⅡreaction center and leading to the inactivation of most PSⅡreaction centers.
