采用开顶箱气室(OTC)模拟熏蒸法,研究高浓度臭氧(O3)对沈阳市常用绿化树种梓树(Catalpa ovata)生长和光合作用的影响。结果表明: 高浓度臭氧显著抑制了梓树的生长;与对照组(OA)相比,160 nmol·mol-1 O3处理20 d后,梓树叶片的相对含水量、干重、鲜重、比叶重、干重增量、鲜重增量均显著下降(P〈0.05);梓树叶片净光合速率(Pn)随O3处理时间延长逐渐降低,胞间CO2浓度(Ci)和蒸腾速率(Tr)与气孔导度(Gs)的变化趋势一致,表现为先降低后升高的趋势,高浓度O3对梓树叶片Pn的降低主要是由非气孔因素限制引起;高浓度O3处理后,梓树叶片光合系统受损,发生光抑制现象,PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)和PSⅡ电子传递量子产率(ΦPSⅡ)随着处理时间的延长而显著下降(P〈0.05);梓树叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性在高浓度O3处理下呈下降趋势,表明梓树抗氧化系统无法承受高浓度的臭氧胁迫,2种抗氧化酶在短期O3胁迫下都未能做出积极的生理响应。
By using opentop chambers (OTCs), this paper studied the effects of elevated O3 concentration on the growth and photosynthesis of Catalpa ovata, a common greening tree species in Shenyang City. The results showed that elevated O3 concentration significantly inhibited the growth of C. ovata. Compared to the ambient air control, relative water content, dry weight, fresh weight, specific leaf weight, dry weight increment and fresh weight increment were significantly decreased in leaves of C. ovata after 20 days exposure to O3 (160 nmol·mol-1). The net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of C. ovata gradually decreased with the extension of time. The decrease in photosynthesis of C. ovata was related to nonstomatal factors. The change trends of intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and transpiration rate (Tr) and stomatal conductance (Gs) were consistent, with decline first and then increase. The maximal photochemistry efficiency of PSⅡ (Fv/Fm) and quantum yield of PSⅡ electron transport (ΦPSⅡ) decreased significantly over the time (P〈0.05), the decline of C. ovata photosynthesis correlated markedly with the excess of light energy, and photoinhibition phenomenon under O3 stress. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbic acid peroxidase (APX) activities showed no significant change during the whole O3 stress, which implied that it was quite difficult for C. ovata to tolerate excessive O3 concentration, and two antioxidant enzymes did not make positive physiological response to the acute stress of O3.
