Download or read book Chilling and photosynthetic productivity of field grown maize (Zea mays); changes in the parameters of the light-response curve, canopy leaf CO2 assimilation rate and crop radiation-use efficiency written by C M. Stirling and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of growth temperatures on the photosynthetic performance of field grown maize (Zea mays cv. LG11) was examined for crops sown on 1 May and 28 June 1991. During the period of growth, 2 May to 10 August, the early-sown crop experienced temperatures below 10 degrees C on 33 occasions compared with only one for the crop sown on 28 June. The prolonged period of low temperatures throughout May and beginning of June were associated with a marked depression in CO2 assimilation rates at all light levels in the early- sown treatment. Chili-induced depression of the photosynthetic light-response curve reflected a sustained reduction in canopy leaf photosynthesis and crop radiation-use efficiency (RUE). During the early stages of growth, RUE was 65% lower in the early- than late-sown treatment, with no marked recovery observed in the former treatment until approximately three weeks after chilling conditions had ceased. Data show a close correlation between chill-induced depression of quantum yield (Phi) and RUE, with corresponding reductions in the light- saturated rates of CO2 assimilation (P-max). The convexity of the light-response curve recovered most rapidly from chilling temperatures, and at least three weeks before any improvement in RUE. It is concluded that photosynthetic productivity of immature maize stands is less sensitive to changes in the convexity of the light response, than to changes in either Phi or P-max.

Download or read book An Evaluation of Leaf Angle Effect on Maize Photosynthesis and Productivity written by Thomas Russell Sinclair and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work was undertaken to study further the hypothesis thata corn crop photosynthetic activity could be increaded by developing plants with more erect leaves. Research was done at both the experimental and theoretical levels. Experimental work was undertaken to verify the theoretical assumptions used to predict the increased photosynthesis for an erect-leaf crop. In addition, experimental data provide a direct comparison of the photosynthetic capacity of a normal-leaf and erect-leaf corn crop. The theoretical studies were undertaken in conjunction with the development of a simulation model to predict the microclimate of a corn field. The research was executed in three phases. The first phase was a study of solar energy penetration in corn canopies. The basis for the simulations of De with and Duncan were the theoretical predictions of light distribution in a leaf canopy. Field measurement of photosynthetically active radiation penetration in several types of corn canopies were made and compared with predicted values (Chapter I). In addition, the relative irradiances of red and far-red radiation above and within the corn canopies were measured (Chapter II). The two wavelength bans were studied because the red band is highly absorbed by leaves and the far-red band is poorly absorbed and they allowed further tests of the predicted distribution of scattered radiation in the crop canopies. Also these wavelength bans are known to affect the phytochrome pigment of plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing concerns of global climatic change have stimulated research in all aspects of carbon exchange. This has restored interest in leaf-photosynthetic models to predict and assess changes in photosynthetic CO2 assimilation in different environments. This is a comprehensive presentation of the most widely used models of steady-state photosynthesis by an author who is a world authority. Treatments of C3, C4 and intermediate pathways of photosynthesis in relation to environment have been updated to include work on antisense transgenic plants. It will be a standard reference for the formal analysis of photosynthetic metabolism in vivo by advanced students and researchers.

Book excerpt: This partially annotated bibliography contains the first 1000 references from a computerized file of literature on the global ecological implications of carbon cycles and climatic changes. Many early citations originated from the Biogeochemical Ecological Information Center established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1968 and from profiles of computerized files such as Government Research Abstracts (GRA) and Biological Abstracts (BA). Later citations have been extracted from the open literature through 1978 and early 1979, from government reports and impact statements, and from profiles of GRA, BA, and the Energy Data Base of the Department of Energy Technical Information Center, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The subject categories covered by this bibliography may be divided into two main topics: carbon cycling and climate system analysis. Volume I contains an introduction and overview. Volume 2 contains an alphabetical (by author) listing of citations. Volume 3 provides indexes for author, organization (corporate authority), keywords (or free index terms), taxonomic category, subject category, Chemical Abstracts codes, Biological Abstracts codes (crosscode), and COSATI/Weekly Government Abstracts codes concentrated with permuted title words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international workshop on `CO2 and Biosphere' was held in Wageningen, the Netherlands on 15-19 November 1991 as part of the activities of the CO2 Commission of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research: this volume includes 32 papers presented at the workshop. The CO2 Commission stimulates and coordinates a broad range of research projects related to the greenhouse effect. This is reflected in the scope of papers presented, ranging from detailed analyses of ecological and physiological effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment to biosphere-atmosphere aspects, such as regional evaporation, energy balance and ecosystem responses. Relevant directions for future research are indicated by presentations on carbon fluxes in the soil, secondary plant metabolism and plant-insect interactions.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first premise of this book is that farmers need access to options for improving their situation. In agricultural terms, these options might be manage ment alternatives or different crops to grow, that can stabilize or increase household income, that reduce soil degradation and dependence on off-farm inputs, or that exploit local market opportunities. Farmers need a facilitating environment, in which affordable credit is available if needed, in which policies are conducive to judicious management of natural resources, and in which costs and prices of production are stable. Another key ingredient of this facilitating environment is information: an understanding of which options are viable, how these operate at the farm level, and what their impact may be on the things that farmers perceive as being important. The second premise is that systems analysis and simulation have an impor tant role to play in fostering this understanding of options, traditional field experimentation being time-consuming and costly. This book summarizes the activities of the International Benchmark Sites Network for Agrotechnology Transfer (IBSNAT) project, an international initiative funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). IBSNAT was an attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of understanding options through systems analysis and simulation for the ultimate benefit of farm households in the tropics and subtropics. The idea for the book was first suggested at one of the last IBSNAT group meetings held at the University of Hawaii in 1993.
