The efficiency of photosynthesis in strawberry plants is measured to maintain the quality and quantity of strawberries produced. The latest method used to measure the photosynthetic status of plants is chlorophyll fluorescence imaging (CFI), which has the advantage of obtaining plant spatiotemporal data non-destructively. This study developed a CFI system to measure the maximum quantum efficiency of photochemistry (Fv/Fm). The main components of this system include a chamber for plants to adapt to dark environments, blue LED light sources to excite the chlorophyll in plants, and a monochrome camera with a lens filter attached to capture the emission spectra. In this study, 120 pots of strawberry plants were cultivated for 15 days and divided into four treatment groups: control, drought stress, heat stress, and a combination of drought and heat stress, resulting in Fv/Fm values of 0.802 ± 0.0036, 0.780 ± 0.0026, 0.768 ± 0.0023, and 0.749 ± 0.0099, respectively. A strong correlation was found between the developed system and a chlorophyll meter (r = 0.75). These results prove that the developed CFI system can accurately capture the spatial and temporal dynamics resulting from the response of strawberry plants to abiotic stresses.
为了维持草莓的产量和品质,需对草莓植株的光合作用效率进行测定。用于测量植物光合状态的最新方法是叶绿素荧光成像(CFI),该方法具有无损获取植物时空数据的优势。本研究开发了一种CFI系统来测量光化学最大量子效率(Fv/Fm)。该系统的主要组件包括一个用于让植物适应黑暗环境的暗箱、用于激发植物叶绿素的蓝色LED光源,以及一个附有镜头滤镜的单色相机,用于捕捉发射光谱。在本研究中,120盆草莓植株种植了15天,并分为四个处理组:对照组、干旱胁迫组、热胁迫组以及干旱和热胁迫组合组,其Fv/Fm值分别为0.802±0.0036、0.780±0.0026、0.768±0.0023和0.749±0.0099。研究发现所开发的系统与叶绿素仪之间存在很强的相关性(r = 0.75)。这些结果证明,所开发的CFI系统能够准确捕捉草莓植株对非生物胁迫响应所产生的时空动态。
