Performing Light Response Curve using LI6800 and LI6400XT + Extra Intro to do A-Ci Curve

KURSUS UNTUK RAKYAT : COURSES FOR PEOPLE

Delivered on: 21 AUGUST 2022


This lecture focuses on understanding and creating light response curves, a key tool in plant physiology. Explained how to set up and use a Portable Photosynthesis System (LI-6800 & LI-6400XT) to measure photosynthetic rates under varying light intensities. It emphasizes the importance of acclimating leaves to controlled conditions before measurement and interpreting the resulting biphasic curve. Key information derived from light response curves includes dark respiration rate, light compensation point, quantum efficiency, and maximum photosynthetic rate (Amax). Highlighted how light response curves can reveal a plant's adaptability to sun or shade conditions, providing insights into its physiology and potential responses to future environmental changes.


A light response curve can provide indications of the:

  • Dark respiration rate: The photosynthesis rate with no light,

  • Light compensation point: Absorbed quantum flux for which photosynthesis and respiration are balanced

  • Quantum efficiency: Initial slope of the assimilation rate, and

  • Light saturated photosynthetic rate (Asat).
