| Abstract/Contents: | "Growth chamber experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of light intensity on carbohydrate accumulation in buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides) leaf tissues. Seedlings were placed under high (400 μmol m-2· s-1) or low (25 μmol m-2·s-1) light intensity. After 7 days of initial light treatments, some seedlings were transferred from high to low light intensity or from low to high light intensity and kept for 3 or 7 days under the final light conditions. Sucrose levels in the leaf tissue increased in response to high light intensity as compared to those found in plants exposed to low light intensity. Starch accumulation in the leaf tissue was greatest when plants initially grown in low light intensity were transferred to high light condition and grown for 3 days. The leaf starch concentration in these plants exceeded those of the seedlings continuously maintained at high light intensity. After 3 days, the elevated starch concentration in the leaves of transferred plants dropped down to the normal level found in plants continuously maintained at high light intensity. Results of this study may indicate that the rate of carbohydrate accumulation and export in the leaf tissue is greatly influenced by shifts in light intensity from low to high." |
