Effects of Warming and Drought Stress on the Coupling of Photosynthesis and Transpiration in Winter Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.)

The coupling of photosynthesis and transpiration in plant leaves forms the basis of carbon–water coupling in terrestrial ecosystems. Previous studies have attributed the coupling of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration to joint stomata control, but they lack analyses of the coupling mechanism. In t...

description The coupling of photosynthesis and transpiration in plant leaves forms the basis of carbon–water coupling in terrestrial ecosystems. Previous studies have attributed the coupling of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration to joint stomata control, but they lack analyses of the coupling mechanism. In this study, winter wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) was selected as a plant material on the North China Plain. Under the conditions of warming and drought stress, the photosynthetic rate (An), transpiration rate (Tr), water pressure saturation (VPD), and leaf temperature (T1) of wheat were recorded on clear days at the jointing, flowering, and grain-filling stages from 9:00 to 12:00 a.m. Then, the measured values were fitted to the simulated values obtained using the Ball–Berry and Penman–Monteith models. The results showed that the stomatal size, stomatal conductance, An, and Tr of winter wheat leaves were decreased by warming, drought stress, and their synergistic effects. Based on the Ball–Berry model, different fitting effects were observed in the treatments of adequate water supply with warming (R-g), water deficit with warming (R-d), adequate water supply without warming (N-g), and water deficit without warming (N-d). The R<sup>2</sup> values of the R-g, R-d, N-g, and N-d treatments were 0.962, 0.958, 0.964, and 0.943, respectively. The Tr values were fitted based on the Penman–Monteith model. In the R-g, R-d, N-g, and N-d treatments, the R2 values of the R-g, R-d, N-g, and N-d treatments were 0.923, 0.849, 0.934, and 0.919, respectively. In conclusion, both warming and water deficit reduce stomatal conductance, An, Tr, and the coupling effect of photosynthesis and transpiration.
