Abstract: 【Objective】To investigate the photosynthetic characteristics changes in leaves at different growth stages of Cyperus esculentus and to elucidate the photosynthetic physiological mechanisms as well.【Methods】At the five leaf stage(L5),ten leaf stage(L10),and fifteen leaf stage(L15) of Cyperus esculentus,the diurnal changes in net photosynthetic rate(Pn),intercellular CO2 concentration(Ci),stomatal conductance(Gs),transpiration rate(Tr),and light response curves of leaves were measured. A non-rectangular hyperbolic model was used to mimic the measured light response curves.【Results】The net photosynthetic rate of L5 and L10 leaves had a double peak trend,while L15 leaves had a single peak. The daily mean of net photosynthetic rate comparison in the three growth stages was L10>L15>L5,with values of 11.858,10.750,and 8.654 μmol/(m2·s)respectively. L5,L10,and L15 had almost identical variation trends in intercellular CO2 concentrations,with a “V” trend of decreasing first and then increasing. The minimum value appeared between 11:00 and 13:00. The stomatal conductance of L5 showed a single peak trend with peak at 11:00 and a value of 0.478 mol/(m2·s). L10 and L15 showed a double peak trend. The diurnal change of L5,L10,and L15 transpiration rates had a single peak trend. The highest daily average value was L10,and the minimum was L5,with values of 3.218 and 2.048 mmol/(m2·s),respectively. In terms of simulation parameters,the maximum net photosynthetic rate of L10 was the highest[21.616 μmol/(m2·s)],which was 5.03% and 6.96% higher than that of L5 and L15 respectively. The maximum light saturation point of L10 was 534.121 μmol/(m2·s),and the maximum light compensation point of L5 was 60.359 μmol /(m2·s).【Conclusion】The overall photosynthetic performance of L10 was stronger than that of L5 and L15,and L10 had the highest utilization efficiency of strong light,while L5 had better utilization efficiency of light energy than L10 and L15 under low light conditions.
