Merr.) soybean can be increased by increasing photosynthetic efficiency. The yield of cultivars with high photosynthetic efficiency (HPE) increased by 30% - 40% in comparison with the cultivars with normal photosynthetic efficiency, indicating that the breeding of soybean by increasing RPE may have a bright prospect. HPE breeding can be used as the temporal monitoring in the breeding process to avoid the divergency of the predetermined goal, although HPE breeding does not shorten the breeding time. It was observed that limited C-4 pathway exists in soybean leaf and pod, suggesting that by increasing the genetic expression of some C-4 enzymes in C-3 crops through traditional or genetic engineering techniques, new breakthroughs in increasing the photosynthetic efficiency of C-3 plant may be practicable in the future.展开更多

Peiai 64S/E32 and a traditional hybrid rice cv. Shanyou 63 at different developing stages. Results show that the activity of PEP carboxylase (PEPCase) increased with age of flag leave; the activity of NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH) increased and reached to a peak value at grain filling stage (68-75 d after transplanting), then fell down; the activity of NADP-MDH in cv. Peiai 64S/E32 was much higher than that in cv. Shanyou 63. Before ripening stage (95 d after transplanting), NADP-malic enzyme activity rose gradually. The level of stable carbon isotope discrimination (Delta(13)C) in flag leaves and grains at different developing stages were similar and exhibited a comparative high value at ripening stage. The average Delta(13)C in leaf of cv. Peiai 64S/E32 during different developing stages was 0.43parts per thousand more than that in cv. Shanyou 63.展开更多
