摘要:Simultaneous measurements of CO2 and O2 fluxes from wheat (Triticum aestivum) shoots indicated that short-term exposures to elevated CO2 concentrations diverted photosynthetic reductant from NO[IMG]f1.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> or NO[IMG]f2.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> reduction to CO2 fixation. With longer exposures to elevated CO2, wheat leaves showed a diminished capacity for NO[IMG]f1.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> photoassimilation at any CO2 concentration. Moreover, high bicarbonate levels impeded NO[IMG]f2.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> translocation into chloroplasts isolated from wheat or pea leaves. These results support the hypothesis that elevated CO2 inhibits NO[IMG]f1.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> photoassimilation. Accordingly, when wheat plants received NO[IMG]f1.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> rather than NH[IMG]f3.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> as a nitrogen source, CO2 enhancement of shoot growth halved and CO2 inhibition of shoot protein doubled. This result will likely have major implications for the ability of wheat to use NO[IMG]f1.gif" ALT="Formula" BORDER="0"> as a nitrogen source under elevated CO2.
