Research Abstract

Photosynthetic induction responses to variable light were examined in situ for leaves of three species, Fagus crenata, Daphniphyllum humile, and Acer rufinerve, grown in the gap and understory of a Fagus crenata (Japanese beech) forest, with abrupt increases in photon flux density (PFD) to 800 and 1500, mu mol photons m^<-2> s^<-1> from either darkness or 100 mu moM photons m^<-2>s^<-1>. Fagus crenata exhibited the greatest assimilation rate (A_<100>), stomatal conductance (g^<s100>) at the back ground PFD of 100 mu mol photons m^<-2>s^<-1>, and A_<100>/A_<max> (A_<max> : maximum assimilation rate) both in the gap and understory. Time required to achieve full induction depend on both background PPD s and high PFDs. induction period at the ground PFD of 100 mumol photons m_<-2> s_<-1> was 2-4-fold shorter than in darkness. For the three species in the uncierstory, time required to full induction was 2-3-fold Longer as the light was increased from darkness to 800 than to 1500 mumol photons m_<-2>s_<-1>. Acer rufinerve in the understory showed greater initial stomatal conductance (g_<s0>) and shorter induction period than in the gap. Fagus crenata tended to have similar g_<s0> and induction in both habitats. Daphniphyllum humi(e demonstrated lower g_<s0> and a longer induction period in the understory than in the gap. These findings indicate that initial stomatal conductance is closely correlate to the photosynthetic induction response. Light conditions plants experienced before a sudden increase in irradiance and the degree of the increase affected the photosynthetic induction response.
