Measuring Canopy Gas Exchange Using CAnopy Photosynthesis and Transpiration Systems (CAPTS).

Abstract

Canopy photosynthesis (A c ), rather than leaf photosynthesis, is critical to gaining higher biomass production in the field because the daily or seasonal integrals of A c correlate with the daily or seasonal integrals of biomass production. The canopy photosynthesis and transpiration measurement system (CAPTS) was developed to enable measurement of canopy photosynthetic CO 2 uptake, transpiration, and respiration rates. CAPTS continuously records the CO 2 concentration, water vapor concentration, air temperature, air pressure, air relative humidity, and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) inside the chamber, which can be used to derive CO 2 and H 2 O fluxes of a canopy covered by the chamber. Here we describe the protocol of using CAPTS to perform experiments on rice (Oryza sativa L.) in paddy field, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in upland field, and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in pots.

Plant phenotyping relevance

CAPTSは作物キャノピーの光合成、蒸散、呼吸を定量する測定システムであり、植物生理形質の取得プロトコル自体が論文の中心である。
