3.1.1 Effects of different concentrations of zinc on net
photosynthetic rate (Pn) and transpiration rate
(Tr) of Dendrobium nobile
Figure 1a shows that the net photosynthetic rate varies with the time of
zinc treatment and zinc concentration. Compared with the control group,
the net photosynthetic rate of the treatment group with zinc
concentration less than 800 μmol/L was significantly higher than that of
the control group. When the zinc concentration was less than 400 μmol/L,
the net photosynthetic rate increased slowly with the prolongation of
zinc treatment time, but there was no significant difference between
different treatment days. At the same time, when the zinc concentration
is less than 400, the net photosynthetic rate increases with the
increase of zinc concentration. When the zinc concentration was 400
μmol/L, it reached the maximum value, and there was significant
difference compared with the control group.
Figure 1b shows that the transpiration rate varies with the time of zinc
treatment and zinc concentration. Compared with the control group, the
transpiration rate of all treatment groups with zinc concentration less
than 400 μmol/L was significantly higher than that of the control group,
and increased significantly with the increase of zinc concentration. At
the same time, we found that when the zinc concentration was between 200
μmol/L and 400 μmol/L, the transpiration rate increased significantly
with the increase of zinc treatment time. However, when the
concentration of zinc was more than 400 μmol/L, the transpiration rate
decreased significantly with the increase of zinc concentration. When
the zinc concentration was 400 μmol/L and the treatment time was 21
days, the transpiration rate reached the maximum value, and there was
significant difference compared with the control group.
