Article Abstract
Ardisia violacea is one of the rare and endangered species, and distributes only in Zhejiang and Taiwan Provinces in China. In order to understand the light requirement and adaptability of A. violacea, the effects of different light intensities (shading rate of 90%, 60%, 25%, and the full light) on leaf photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll fluorescence of A. violacea were studied. The photosynthetic rate (Pn) and stomatal conductance (g(s)) of A. violacea varied as a bimodal curve with a 'midday depression' phenomenon in full bright light, and as a unimodal curve in the shading treatments. With the increasing shading rate, the Pn and apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) first increased, and then decreased, the light compensation point (LCP) and light saturation point (LSP) decreased, and the g(s), transpiration rate (Tr), original light energy conversion (Fv/Fm) and potential activity of PS II (Fv/Fo) increased. The total quantity of chlorophyll and the carotenoid (Car) content increased, and Chl a/b decreased under shading conditions. When the shading rate was 25%, the specific leaf mass (LMA) and root to shoot (R/T) ratio of A. violacea reached the maximum. A. violacea possessed a strong flexibility to different light environments, suggesting that light could not be the main limiting factor for natural regeneration of A. violacea populations.

Low solar irradiance reaching the canopy due to fog and heavy haze is a significant yield-limiting factor worldwide. However, how plants adapt to shade stress and the mechanisms underlying the reduction in leaf photosynthetic capacity and grain yield remain unclear. In this study (conducted during 2018-2021), we investigated the impact of light deprivation (60%) at the pre-anthesis and post-anthesis stages on leaf carboxylation efficiency, source-to-sink relationships, sucrose metabolism, and grain yield of wheat cultivars with contrasting shade tolerance.

This research looked at how three different light intensities (1600, 4300, and 7200 lx) affect the biomass development, treatment of fuel synthesis wastewater and the recovery of valuable bioproducts between biofilm and suspended growth in a purple-bacteria enriched photobioreactor. Each condition was run in duplicate using an agricultural shade cloth as the biofilm support media in a continuously mixed batch reactor. The results showed that the highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate (56.

The rare and endangered wild plant, , has been listed as a second-level key protected plant in China. Currently, its habitat is severely damaged, and the population has dramatically declined, necessitating urgent intervention for protection. In this study, the aim was to explore the correlations and differences from the perspectives of photosynthetic characteristics and leaf structure, providing scientific references for conservation and cultivation.

To reveal the global regulation of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in shade plants, the changes in chlorophyll fluorescence induction kinetics (CFI) curves and proteomics were investigated using varieties. There was a significant difference in CFI curves between 'Fire Island' and other varieties (such as 'Sum and Substance') grown under weak light. Weak light induced the appearance of the W phase of CFI curves in the two varieties, which was consistent with a clear decrease in the oxygen-evolving complex and a large upregulation of photosystem (PS) II proteins.

The integration of three-dimensional (3D) printed resin denture teeth represents a significant advancement in digital dentistry. This study aims to assess the ability of 3D-printed denture teeth to withstand chipping and indirect tensile fractures, comparing them with conventionally manufactured resin denture teeth. Four groups, each comprising 30 specimens, were examined: Group 1 featured 3D-printed denture teeth (NextDent, 3D Systems, Soesterberg, The Netherlands), while the others included commercially obtained Ivostar Shade, SpofaDent Plus, and Major Super Lux teeth.
