Abstract/Contents:"Panicum virgatum L., Paspalum notatum Flugge, Paspalum dilatatum Poir, × Festulolium Asch et Graebn., Phalaris arundinnacea L. and Lolium perenne L. are important forage grasses but their productivity are often limited by the summer drought stress in most areas of China. There are research evidences showing these six species differ in their growing traits and production performance under drought stress; however research is lacking to understand the response of ultrastructure of mesophyll cells to water stress in different plant species, which is highly relevant to the mechanism of plant drought tolerance. In order to provide morphological and physiological indications for selection, introduction and breeding of the species, the effect of water stress on the ultrastructure and physiological function of chloroplast and mitochondria in mesophyll cells in the six grass species were studied under pot culture conditions using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and measurement of the chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate, respectively. The results showed that, after 8 d water stress, the chloroplasts swelled, became round, and moved towards the center of the cell. Some plastoglobulis and starch grains were found inside the chloroplasts. Grana and envelope in severely affected chloroplasts were disrupted. The mitochondria had better tolerance to water stress than chloroplasts and the number of mitochondria increased under water stress. The net photosynthetic rate was closely related to the change in chloroplast structure. The six grass species were classified into three groups with different tolerance to water stress: P. virgatum and Pa. notatum as the high tolerant, × Festulolium and Ph. arundinnacea as the medium tolerant, and Pa. dilatatum and L. perenne as the poor tolerant."
