Abstract:

In this paper we investigated effects of apoplastic ion dynamic changes in the tender stems of Populus wutunenses and "P.simonii×P. euphratica"×P. sp. on gas exchange parameters under salt stress. The apoplastic ions were monitored by microdialysis and atomic absorption, and the gas exchange parameters were determined with a portable photosynthesis system. The net photosynthetic rates (Pn) of the two poplar cultivars all decreased with increasing salt-treated duration. The stomatal conductance (Gn) and intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) of P.×wutunenses increased and then decreased, whereas its stomatal limitation (Ls) exhibited a contrary changing trend. The Gn and Ci of "P. simonii×P. euphratica "× P. sp. gradually reduced, whereas its Ls increased gradually. The results indicated that the photosynthetic inhibition of P.×wutunenses under the stress of 100 mmol·L-1 NaCl resulted from non-stomatal limitation and stomatal limitation successively, whereas that of "P. simonii×P. euphratica "× P. sp. resulted from stomatal limitation throughout the entire experiment. PnS of the two poplar cultivars were negatively correlated with Na+ concentration and Na+/K+ ratio significantly, however were positively correlated with K+ concentration extremely significantly. A multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was performed with Pn as the dependent variable, and Na+, K+, Ca2+ concentrations and Na+/K+ as the independent variables. Pn was only significantly correlated with Na+/K+ aomg those independent variables. P.×wutunenses was more salt-tolerant than "P. simonii×P. euphratica "× P. sp. under salt stress. The statistical equation showed that apoplastic ion contents in the tender stems of poplar cultivars were collinearly correlated with their photosynthesis performance under salt stress.
