Abstract

Photosynthesis is limited by CO2 if chloroplastic CO2 concentration (Cc) is lower than the intersection point (C ctr) in the Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry (FvCB) model. This range is defined as light-saturated conditions. If Cc > Cctr, photosynthesis is limited mainly by light (non-light-saturated conditions). Therefore, the relationship between Cc and Cctr can reveal whether photosynthesis is limited by light or CO2. In this work, a process to identify the photosynthetic limitation was illustrated based on the relationship between Cc and Cctr. We described C ctr as a function of light and biochemical parameters (V cmax) in the FvCB model and simulated the Cctr-light response with different sets of FvCB parameters. Results of simulations indicated that photosynthesis is limited by light when Vcmax is above 120 (μmol CO2 m-2s-1), and a decrease of Vcmax increases the limitations from CO2 diffusion pathways. We show data that photosynthesis of young cucumber leaves (10-14 days) was limited by light, and limitation caused by CO2 started on day 14 after leaf appearance.
