Abstract

Abstract:

Aims Our objective was to explore the effects of saline-alkali stress on photosynthetic apparatus of Helianthus tuberosus seedlings.
Methods H. tuberosus seedlings were treated with NaCl (50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mmol·L^-1) and Na₂CO₃ (25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mmol·L^-1) in plastic pots with sand. Others were cultured in modulated half-strength Hoagland solution as a control. We studied the effects of NaCl and Na₂CO₃ on net photosynthetic rate (P_n) and parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence by measuring chlorophyll content, P_n, stomatal conductivity (G_s) and fluorescence parameters after 7 days.
Important findings Significant increases of chlorophyll content, P_n and G_s compared with the control were observed under the 150 mmol·L^-1 NaCl treatment, whereas there were no effects on fluorescence parameters, F_v/F_m (maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ) while all PSⅡ reaction centers are open), F_m/F_o (another expression for the maximal photochemical efficiency of PSⅡ), Φ_PSⅡ (actual quantum yield of PSⅡ under actinic irradiation), q_P (photochemical quenching coefficient), and NPQ (non-photochemical quenching coefficient). But with greater NaCl concentration, the chlorophyll content, P_n, G_s and fluorescence parameters significantly decreased except for an increase of NPQ compared with the control. When H. tuberosus seedlings were treated with Na₂CO₃, chlorophyll content, P_n, G_s, F_v/F_m, F_m/F_o, Φ_PSⅡ and q_P significantly decreased and NPQ increased compared with the control. At the same concentration of Na ⁺, the decrease of chlorophyll content, P_n, G_s, F_v/F_m, F_m/F_o, Φ_PSⅡ, q_P and the increase of NPQ were higher in Na₂CO₃ stress than in NaCl stress. All results suggested that the tolerance of H. tuberosus seedlings to saline stress was higher than to alkaline stress.

Key words: NaCl, Na₂CO₃, Helianthus tuberosus, stress, photosynthesis, fluorescence
