Photosynthetic rate prediction model of newborn leaves verified by core fluorescence parameters

Abstract

Due to the imperfect development of the photosynthetic apparatus of the newborn leaves of the canopy, the photosynthesis ability is insufficient, and the photosynthesis intensity is not only related to the external environmental factors, but also significantly related to the internal mechanism characteristics of the leaves. Light suppression and even light destruction are likely to occur when there is too much external light. Therefore, focus on the newborn leaves of the canopy, the accurate construction of photosynthetic rate prediction model based on environmental factor analysis and fluorescence mechanism characteristic analysis has become a key problem to be solved in facility agriculture. According to the above problems, a photosynthetic rate prediction model of newborn leaves in canopy of cucumber was proposed. The multi-factorial experiment was designed to obtain the multi-slice large-sample data of photosynthetic and fluorescence of newborn leaves. The correlation analysis method was used to obtain the main environmental impact factors as model inputs, and core chlorophyll fluorescence parameters was used for auxiliary verification. The best modeling method PSO-BP neural network was used to construct the newborn leaf photosynthetic rate prediction model. The validation results show that the net photosynthetic rate under different environmental factors of cucumber canopy leaves can be accurately predicted. The coefficient of determination between the measured values and the predicted values of photosynthetic rate was 0.9947 and the root mean square error was 0.8787. Meanwhile, combined with the core fluorescence parameters to assist the verification, it was found that the fluorescence parameters can accurately characterize crop photosynthesis. Therefore, this study is of great significance for improving the precision of light environment regulation for new leaf of facility crops.

Higher Photochemical Quenching and Better Maintenance of Carbon Dioxide Fixation Are Key Traits for Phosphorus Use Efficiency in the Wheat Breeding Line, RAC875

“…During photosynthesis, the PS2 measures the proportion of light absorbed by PSII reaction centers that is used in photochemistry, the ETR measures the rate of electron transport, and the qP measures the degree of openness of the reaction center during photosynthesis (Zhang et al, 2020). This study showed that low P had no significant effect on PS2 , ETR, and qP (Tables 6A,B and Figures 8A-D,F).…”

Performance and mechanism of the in situ restoration effect on VHCs in the polluted river water based on the orthogonal experiment: photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics and microbial community analysis

“…The photosynthesis ability of plants was a drive factor that regulate the growth and metabolism, implied the net assimilation rates of plants, which characterized the plant stress responses at the same (Zhang et al, 2020b). Rapid light curves (RLC) are plots of mechanisms of photosynthesis for 10s, it could reflect the influence of differ environmental factors on the photosynthetic reactions (White & Critchley, 1999).…”

Potential of Sorghum Varieties as Biofuel

“…Leaves are essential organs for plants as food production by photosynthesis process. This parameter was included as growth indicator of which describes the ability of plants to carry out photosynthetic activities (Zhang et al, 2020). In this research, we took the sample for calculating leaves of sorghum plant at nine weeks after planting date.…”

“…Our finding revealed that the higher plant did not result more leaves. The former study had explained that number of leaves were affected by environmental factor and plant growth regulators, such as air temperature, water availability, and light intensity (Qaderi et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020). The number of leaves increases due to the formation of new leaves (Wu et al, 2021).…”
