摘要
Carbon assimilation rate (A) and stomatal conductance (g) are highly correlated. However, the slope of the A versus g relationship differs among species and environments resulting in differences in gas exchange efficiency which should reflect water use efficiency. The objective of this research was to determine the genetic variation for A and g in grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench.). Field experiments were conducted using 30 sorghum hybrids with four water supply treatments. A, g, and leaf water potential (Ψw) of individual leaves were monitored every 15 to 20 days. Significant genetic variation existed among the hybrids for A and g. Plant age and water supply also affected A and g as expected. When A was regressed on g for each hybrid, large and significant differences existed among the slopes, implying differences in intrinsic gas exchange efficiency. The regression analysis of A and g versus Ψw suggested that A was more sensitive than g to increasing water stress. Genetic differences in the rate of change in A as water stress increased were observed. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the individual hybrid response relative to other hybrids. Twofold difference in slopes existed for A. These results provide evidence for genetic variation in gas exchange rates which might directly contribute to whole plant water use efficiency and productivity.
