Abstract: Biao 810S is a yellow-green leaf mutant of the thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) rice which has higher photosynthetic rate. The photosynthetic characteristics of Biao 810S were studied with the wild type TGMS line 810S as a control to clarify the physiological basis of high photosynthetic efficiency and provide a theoretical basis for further utilization. The photosynthetic pigment, photosynthetic rate, fluorescence parameters and activity of photosynthetic key enzyme were measured. The content of photosynthetic pigment in Biao 810S was approximately half of that in 810S. However, the net photosynthetic rate of Biao 810S was higher than that of 810S under high intensity light and Biao 810S had no obvious ‘Midday depression’ phenomenon. The stomatal conductance of Biao 810S was highly increased and the light quantum transformation efficiency was higher than that of 810S. The activity of ribulose -1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) in Biao 810S was 69.80% of that in 810S, but the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase) and NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) were 79.50% and 69.06% higher than those of 810S. The efficiency of light utilization in Biao 810S was enhanced by reduction of thermal dissipation and increase of electron transfer rate was generate sufficient assimilation power for the dark reactions. Consequently, the increased activities of PEPCase and stomatal conductance led to more effective fixation of CO2, and the synergistic effect of light reactions and dark reactions contributed to the higher photosynthetic rate of Biao 810S.
