Effects of phosphate deficiency on photosynthesis and accumulation of starch and soluble sugars in 1-year-old seedlings of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait)

Abstract: Summary -Maritime pine seedlings were grown in 4 L pots filled with coarse sand in a greenhouse. Seedlings were supplied with a nutrient solution with three different concentrations of phosphorus (0, 0.125 and 0.5 mM). After 1 year of growth, gas exchange measurements were performed on mature needles. From these measurements, the main parameters of CO 2 assimilation (the carboxylation efficiency, the apparent quantum efficiency and the maximal rate of electron transport) were estimated using the biochemical mo… Show more

“…At higher levels of P (IP and HP), RGR increased with light, which means that light was the limiting factor. This result is consistent with the available knowledge on the photosynthetic requirements of Pinus pinaster [2,3,34]. Indeed, incident PPFD was 120 to 180 µmole m -2 s -1 , which is far below the saturating PPFD for maritime pine [34].…”

“…3). In agreement with the observation that V cmax is affected at this level of P concentrations in maritime pine [2,15], the between-stand difference in V cmax is well correlated to the needle P concentration measured across sites (R 2 = 0.99, n = 4). This conclusion holds true for the additional data issued from Porté and Loustau [25] and Medlyn et al [18] where needle P a is in the range 0.11 -0.13 g P m -2 (data not shown).…”

“…Strong relationships between phosphorus (P) and A max have been observed for conifers, for example in Pinus radiata [15,47], P. pinaster [6,30] and Pinus strobus [43]. A partial explanation may lie in a positive relationship between the concentration of P and amount of Rubisco, as observed in P. pinaster [55] and in herbaceous species [11,23,26,42].…”
