Acceptor-side limitation of PSII increased with a direct Cd action at 80 μM that was overcome with an indirect Cd action at 250 μM.

NaCl (150 mM) exposure alone suppressed a growth of seedling, weakened photosynthetic efficiency and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters, reduced photosynthetic pigments, Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM) contents, and downregulated TaCaM expression in wheat leaves. The opposite changes of these parameters were caused by 0.5 or 1 mM CaCl2 treatments alone. Moreover, 0.5 or 1 mM CaCl2 application effectively alleviated sodium salt-induced changes of these parameters, which was blocked by LaCl3 or EGTA. Therefore, exogenous Ca presence effectively promoted the growth of NaCl-stressed wheat seedlings through the enhancement of photosynthesis and Chl synthesis mediated by the Ca-CaM signal.","PeriodicalId":20157,"journal":{"name":"Photosynthetica","volume":"16 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135634143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While both species decreased net CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation rate (<i>P</i><sub>N</sub>) to a similar extent under drought, in pima cotton rewatering rapidly restored <i>P</i><sub>N</sub>, the stomatal conductance (<i>g</i><sub>s</sub>), the maximum carboxylation rate (<i>V</i><sub>cmax</sub>), and the maximum electron transport rate above the control level. Meanwhile, the response of leaf intrinsic WUE (WUE<sub>i</sub>) to drought and recovery was different between the two cotton species, which was mainly co-regulated by <i>V</i><sub>cmax</sub> and <i>g</i><sub>s</sub>.
