However, microelement contents are influenced by low-P stress, and their effects on the photosynthetic capability of B. pa- pyrifera remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of low-P treatment on net photosynthetic rate （PN）; chlorophyll a fluorescence （ChlF） characteristics; and Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn contents of B. papyrifera and Morus alba L. seedlings. Results show that B. papyrifera exhibited better photosynthetic capability under moderate P defi- ciency （0.125, 0.063, and 0.031 mmol/L P treatments）, whereas the photosynthetic capability of M. alba decreased under moderate and severe P deficiency （0.016 and 0 mmol/L P treatments）. Under moderate P deficiency, the decrease in Cu and Zn contents in B. papyrifera was lower than that in M. alba. Under severe P deficiency, a consid- erable decrease of photosynthetic capability in B. pa- pyrifera and M. alba was associated with low Cu and Zn contents. The PN of the two Moraceae species exhibited a better correlation with Cu and Zn contents than with Fe or Mn content. P deficiency could not only decrease cyclic photophorylation and photosynthetic efficiency, but could also affect the stability of thylakoid membrane structureand electron transport efficiency by influencing the con- tents of Cu or Zn, thereby affecting photosynthesis.展开更多
