Plants respond to environment with fluxes • Plant fluxes • Mass • Energy • Momentum • Soil Plant Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) defines where fluxes occur • subcellular to global • Deriving flux equations; connecting anatomy • Photosynthesis • Transpiration • Importance of scale
SPAC What other fluxes in SPAC besides water? http://www.fsl.orst.edu/~bond/phystalk/Ecohydrology/SPAC%20diagram.jpg
Plant and Environmental Controls Over Photosynthesis • Within a given CA, plants control supply and demand for CO2 • full model of A requires both • Supply of CO2 determined by stomatal conductance (gs) • Balance transpiration (EL) and A • Environmental controls? • Demand for CO2 determined by mesophyll biochemistry • Limited by amount of RuBP, Rubsico, ATP, & NADPH • Farqhuar model with fluorescence combines all of above • Leaf vs. whole plant limitations
Use of Environmental Response Curves in Photosynthesis • Response curves help propose and test physiological mechanisms in ecology • Light response reveals some light dependent mechanisms • Parameters: quantum yield, saturation, compensation, curvature • CO2 responses reveals some light independent mechanisms • Parameters: supply, demand, compensation, Rubisco, RuBP, CO2 and Phosphate • Multivariate controls on response curves

States of Calvin Cycle Photosynthesis • State one-Rubsico limited • CO2 low • No Vcmax limitation • State two-RuBP regeneration limited • Light limited • Enzymes of Calvin cycle limited • Increases with increasing CO2 • State three-Triose Phosphate Use (TPU) • Photosynthesis at higher rate than capacity to use products • Not CO2 or O2 limited • Actual A rate is which of three states is limiting • Farqhuar et al (1980) model used to determine which one
Sharkey et al. PCE 2007; incorporates newest material to Farquhar model
Farquhar Model Overview • Five parameters from Farquhar model • VCmax - maximum carboxylation by Rubisco • J - rate of photosynthetic electron transport • TPU - triose phosphate use • Rd - day respiration • gm-mesophyll conductance • Parameters adjusted to 25 °C for comparison • c is scaling constant = 1 at 25 C), ΔHa enthalpy of activation, ΔHd enthalpy of deactivation, ΔS entropy, R is universal gas constant, T is temperature in K
