Abstract
Respiration rate in light (Rd) and the CO 2 compensation point in absence of Rd (г *) were 0.33μmol·m -2 ·s -1 and 46.5μl·L -1 in leaves of Musa paradisiaca exposed to UV B radiation (4.8μW·cm -2 ) respectivty. They were higher than those in control plants by 5.6% and 10%, respectively. The initial slope of light response curves, the apparent quantum yield (α A) in leaves of control plants was 0.023±0.007 while the relative value was decreased by 13.0% in plants exposed to UV B radiation. A parameter related to the efficiency of light energy conversion (δ) was also decreased by 28.6% for plants exposed to UV B radiation in comparison with that of control plant. The partial An/Ci curves measured under θp 1100μmol·m -2 ·s -1 , was An=0.028Ci+ 1.41 for leaves of control plants and An=0.021Ci+1.01 for leaves exposed to UV B radiation. Maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax) and electron transport rate in saturated θp in leaves exposed to UV B treatment were also lower than those of controls considerably. The partitioning coefficients for leaf nitrogen in Rubisco (P R) and in bioenergetic (P B) in leaves exposed to UV B radiation were lower than those of controls by 8.1% and 3.0%, respectively. And the fraction of leaf nitrogen in thylakoid light harvesting component (P L) increased finely in plant exposed to UV B radiation as compared to that of controls. The results imply that supplementary UV B radiation cause the decrease of nitrogen partition in the components of photosynthetic carbon cycle and decrease photosynthetic rate.
