dc.description.abstract | Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides L.) was collected in South Carolina,
maintained in a greenhouse, then exposed to five levels of photosynthetic
photon flux density (PPFD) for 3 weeks. Following this treatment,
plants were sampled for chlorophyll concentrations, nocturnal acid accumulations,
and photosynthetic responses to subsequent exposure at a
range of PPFD. No acclimation to PPFD was observed; all plants
exhibited similar patterns of nocturnal C02 uptake and acid accumulation
regardless of initial PPFD treatment. These patterns revealed that at a
PPFD level of approximately 200 micromoles per square meter per
second (daytime integrated PPFD of 10 moles per square meter per day),
CAM saturated or, in low-PPFD plants, was optimal. The results of this
study indicate that adaptation to high PPFD is not necessarily a requirement
of CAM. | |
