Abstract

Seedlings of kudzu were grown at 350, 675, or 1000 ..mu..l/L CO/sub 2/ in controlled-environment chambers. At elevated CO/sub 2/ in controlled-environment chambers. At elevated CO/sub 2/ concentrations, maximum leaf expansion rates were approximately 40% greater, leaves were fully expanded several days sooner, fully expanded leaves were larger at each leaf position, and leaf production rates were increased 12%. Peak starch accumulation was much greater in plants grown at elevated CO/sub 2/ concentrations. Total xylem water potentials were higher (less negative) at full hydration, and osmotic potentials were decreased (more negative) by CO/sub 2/ enrichment. At 1000 ..mu..l/L CO/sub 2/, leaf trigger pressure was twice that at 350 ..mu..l/L CO/sub 2/. Results suggest that leaf expansion rates and leaf expansivity may have been increased due to higher trigger pressure at the higher CO/sub 2/ concentrations. The potential for successful seedling establishment may be enhanced as the atmospheric CO/sub 2/ concentration continues to rise, increasing kudzu invasiveness.

Light and CO sub 2 effects on photosynthesis and growth in Kudzu

Conference Schweder, M; Bowes, G; Cure, J - Plant Physiology, Supplement; (USA)

Kudzu (Pueraria lobata Willd.) was grown for 28 days under four permutations of light (1,500 or 450 {mu}mol quanta m{sup {minus}2} s{sup {minus}1}) and CO{sub 2} (700 or 350 {mu}L L{sup {minus}1} CO{sub 2}). Total biomass and leaf area were up to 55% and 52% respectively greater in the high CO{sub 2} treatments. When measured at the growth CO{sub 2} concentration, photosynthetic rates showed little reduction over the 28 day period, and remained up to 29% higher in the high CO{sub 2} treatments. Under high light, soluble protein was 27% greater in the plants grown at high CO{sub 2}. Neithermore »« less
Water stress, temperature, and light effects on isoprene emission and photosynthesis of Kudzu leaves

Conference Sharkey, T; Loreto, F - Plant Physiology; (United States)

Kudzu (Pueraia lobata (Willd) Ohwi.) emits isoprene, a hydrocarbon which can significantly affect atmospheric chemistry. Isoprene emission under standard conditions of 1000 [mu]mol photons[center dot]M[sup [minus]2][center dot]S[sup [minus]1] and 30[degrees]C developed only after the leaf bad reached full expansion and was not maximal until up to two weeks past the point of full expansion of the leaf. Isoprene emission from kudzu was stimulated by increases in temperature and photon flux density (up to 3000 [mu]mol photons[center dot]m[sup [minus]2][center dot]s[sup [minus]1]). For unstressed plants, 20 % of the carbon fixed in photosynthesis was reemitted as isoprene at 1000 [mu]mol photons[center dot]m[supmore »« less
Elevated CO sub 2 does not delay leaf senescence in white oak or yellow-poplar seedlings in the field

Conference Norby, R; O'Neill, E; Cockrill, M - Plant Physiology, Supplement; (USA)

We hypothesized that the higher rates of photosynthesis in plants grown in elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO{sub 2} would delay the onset and progression of autumn leaf senescence. An effect of CO{sub 2} on leaf duration could be an important determinant of growth and could alter the processes of nutrient conservation and winter hardening. In May of 1989, white oak and yellow-poplar seedlings were planted in the ground in open-top chambers. The plants were exposed continuously to regulated CO{sub 2} concentrations (ambient, ambient+150 {mu}l{center dot}l{sup {minus}1}, and ambient+300 {mu}l{center dot}l{sup {minus}1}), with two chambers per treatment and up to 10more »« less
Effects of atmospheric CO/sub 2/ concentration and water stress on water relations of wheat

Journal Article Sionit, N; Strain, B; Hellmers, H; ... - Bot. Gaz. (Chicago); (United States)

Water status and growth responses of wheat (Triticum aestivuum L. (GWO-1809)) to increased CO/sub 2/ concentration and water stress were studied in controlled-environment chambers. Plants were grown in 350 ..mu..l/liter or 1000 ..mu..1/liter CO/sub 2/ at similar temperature, irradiance, and photoperiod conditions. Groups of plants were subjected to water stress by withholding irrigation for one or two cycles of treatment. In most treatments, decreasing leaf water potential was correlated with decreasing osmotic potential. In leaves grown in both low and high CO/sub 2/ concentrations, the osmotic potentials were lower during the second stress cycle than during the first cycle. Themore »« less

The effect of elevated [CO{sub 2}] on growth and photosynthesis of two eucalyptus species exposed to high temperatures and water deficits

Journal Article Roden, J; Ball, M - Plant Physiology (Bethesda)

Two species of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus macrorhyncha and Eucalyptus rossii) were grown for 8 weeks in either ambient (350 {mu}L L{sup {minus}1}) or elevated (700 {mu}L L{sup {minus}1}) CO{sub 2} concentrations, either well watered or without water additions, and subjected to a daily, 3-h high-temperature (45{degrees}C, maximum) and high-light (1250 {mu}mol photons m{sup {minus}2} s{sup {minus}1}, maximum) stress period. Water-stressed seedlings of E. macrorhyncha had higher leaf water potentials when grown in elevated [CO{sub 2}]. Growth analysis indicated that increased [CO{sub 2}] may allow eucalyptus species to perform better during conditions of low soil moisture.
