Effects of Water Stresses on the Photosynthetic Characteristics of Hemarthria Compressa

Article Preview

Abstract:

The photosynthetic characteristic of plants may reflect the situation of growth and drought resistance. This study showed that drought affected significantly the Pn and Tr of Hemarthria compressa, the daily variation of Pn and Tr showed the “single peak” curve under different water condition, however, the change trend was totally opposite; the Gs and the Ci decreased with the increase of water stresses; the peak value of WUE of different water condition appeared before 10:00AM; the WUE decreased with the increase of Tr after 10:00AM. The WUE of different water stresses were higher than control before 12:00AM, however, less than control during 12:00 to 18:00. Hemarthria compressa generally tends to reduce the stomatal opening and transpiration in order to achieve high WUE under the water deficit, which belongs to strong drought resistance forage species.
