Ploidy level enhances the photosynthetic capacity of a tetraploid variety of Acer buergerianum Miq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polyploidy plays an important role in plant breeding and has widespread effects on photosynthetic capacity. To determine the photosynthetic capacity of the tetraploid variety Acer buergerianum Miq. 'Xingwang', we compared the gas exchange parameters, chloroplast structure, chlorophyll contents, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters between the tetraploid Acer buergerianum 'Xingwang' and the diploid 'S4'. To evaluate the effects of genome duplication on the photosynthetic capacity of Acer buergerianum 'Xingwang', the transcriptomes of the autotetraploid 'Xingwang' and the diploid 'S4' of A. buergerianum were compared.

Methods

The ploidy of Acer buergerianum 'Xingwang' was identified by flow cytometry and the chromosome co
