Abstract:
By analyzing the physiological response of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite leaves to CO
2 enrichment, and exploring the application of CO
2 fertilization in the greenhouse of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite, it could provide theoretical and technical support for effectively improving the cultivation efficiency of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite in greenhouse. The CO
2 enrichment experiment was carried out with the 2.5-inch cup seedlings of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite Big Pepper as the materials, and the CO
2 releasing time (2 levels) and CO
2 concentration (4 levels) were taken as the investigation factors. A total of 8 treatments were set up according to the random block experiment. And the samples were taken on the 1 st, 3 rd, 8 th, 18 th and 30 th day after the treatment of CO
2 enrichment to analyze the effects of CO
2 enrichment on the content of osmotic adjustment substance and antioxidant enzyme activity in the leaves of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite. The results showed that: Whether at AM 8:00-11:00 or PM 19:00-23:00, the MDA content, soluble protein content, total phenolic content, SOD activity, POD activity and CAT activity in the leaves of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite showed a downward trend after 18 days when the the concentration of CO
2 was 400, 600 and 800 μmol/mol. However, when the concentration of CO
2 enrichment was 1 000 μmol·mol
-1, the content of soluble protein, POD activity and CAT activity in the leaves of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite still showed an upward trend on the 30 th day. The results showed that the leaves of
Phalaenopsis aphrodite began to adapt to the environmental conditions of CO
2 enrichment after 18 days when the concentration of CO
2 enrichment was below 800 μmol·mol
-1.
