Profiles of 14C fixation through spinach leaves in relation to light absorption and photosynthetic capacity
Abstract
The profile of photosynthetic rate with depth through a leaf depends on the profiles of light absorption and photosynthetic capacity. Using a combination of several techniques, a comprehensive description of spinach leaves has been obtained. Profiles of CO 2 fixation were obtained by exposing leaves to 14 CO 2 for 10 s under blue or green light before freeze clamping and paradermal sectioning. Profiles of light absorption were measured on adjacent parts of the leaf by quantifying chlorophyll fluorescence images of the transversely cut face obtained when blue or green light was applied to the adaxial or abaxial surface. The profile of CO 2 fixation was modelled using the measured profiles of light absorption and photosynthetic capacity. There was remarkably good agreement between the observed and modelled CO 2 fixation profiles for the eight combinations of colour, orientation and irradiance tested. Gas exchange of an intact leaf was also measured concurrently with conventional chlorophyll fluorescence under blue or green light. These data were consistent with the multi‐layer leaf model with the exception of blue light applied to the abaxial surface, where chlorophyll fluorescence appeared to come from layers deeper than expected. Photosynthetic capacity matched the profile of green but not white light absorption through the leaf.

In dark-green leaves, the majority of light absorption occurs in the uppermost adaxial chloroplasts, causing light limitation in lower chloroplasts.
“In dark-green leaves, the majority of light absorption occurs in the uppermost adaxial chloroplasts, causing light limitation in lower chloroplasts (Vogelmann and Evans, 2002; Evans and Vogelmann, 2003; Slattery et al., 2016).”

This has been shown to create a within-leaf gradient in photosynthesis as well as photoinhibition that decreases with depth in the leaf and limits overall photosynthetic efficiency.
“This has been shown to create a within-leaf gradient in photosynthesis (Evans and Vogelmann, 2003) as well as photoinhibition (Oguchi et al., 2011) that decreases with depth in the leaf and limits overall photosynthetic efficiency.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
