Photosynthetic characteristics of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis in response to different light intensities and soil water contents by Yaling Zhang, Yaling Zhang, Rong Xu, Rong Xu, Rong Xu, Zhaozhao Wang, Juan Zhang, Xinghao Tang, Yu Chen, Xiao-Li Yan, Lu-Ping Qu, Lu-Ping Qu

“…It is imperative to study the photochemical processes of P. polyphylla in order to determine the optimal levels of shading and moisture management for its cultivation in artificial environments.MethodsIn this study, six shading levels (no shading, 30%, 50%, 70%, 80% and 90% shading) and three soil water contents (20%, 40% and 60% of the soil water saturation capacity) were established to determine the appropriate shade intensity and soil moisture content for the growth of P. polyphylla.ResultsThe results showed that only the low shade groups (no shade and 30% shade) showed irreversible damage to the daily photosynthetic dynamics of the plant over the course of a day. …”
