Abstract
Diurnal changes of photosynthetic rate in millet leaves were observed under low relative humidity (about 5%RH), high CO 2 concentration (730 μl CO 2/L) and assimilate accumulation by heat girdling of leaf sheath by CI 301 CO 2 gas analyzer. It was found that the midday depressions of photosynthesis in nature conditions (Fig.1) and low RH(Fig.2) and high CO 2 concentration treatments(Fig.3) were significantly correlated with the accumulation of photosynthates. High CO 2 concentration(730 μl CO 2/L) can increase photosynthetic rate(Fig.4) and decrease transpiration rate(E), so improve water use efficiency(WUE) greatly. Low relative humidity(5%RH) can decrease photosynthetic rate(P n), but improve WUE too, it is why low RH decease stomatal aperture and the E is more dependent on the stomata than P n; assimilate accumulation(heat girdling of leaf sheath) could decrease P n and WUE(Table 1).
