8 ix Preface The association between plants and wind that first comes to mind might be plant damage from a strong wind such as a typhoon or monsoon. The winds this book will discuss, however, are not this strong at all, but rather are only 2 m s 1 or weaker, like a breeze that gently blows over a farming area. Such a breeze, in fact, instills vitality into plants and increases their growth rates. This book is an attempt to explain these beneficial effects on plants from a field perspective. One fundamental process necessary for plant growth is photosynthesis. Since it is a photochemical reaction, this synthesis has been studied with emphasis on light. Yet to shed light on dry-matter or carbohydrate production by plants, it is indispensable to pursue research not only into the mechanism of photosynthesis but also into photosynthetic production itself. I have observed various phenomena occurring in the production field, and have thereby realized it necessary to recognize photosynthesis as a phenomenon that carbon dioxide (C0 2) in the air diffuses into chloroplasts in the leaves, and to study which environmental factors promote C02 diffusion into the leaves. In this book, I am going to describe the effects of the natural environment on photosynthetic production, placing focus on the leaf boundary layer as an environmental factor for plant production. As a wind blows, the air becomes viscous through friction with the leaf surface, creating a layer along the surface with a lower-velocity airflow. This air layer, termed the "leaf boundary layer, has great effect on the amount of atmospheric C02 diffusion into the leaf (photosynthetic production), as well as on the rate of transpiration or heat transmission. In this respect, the layer is a dominant element of plant dry-matter production. The adoption of the boundary layer as a factor for C02 diffusion into the leaf has enabled quantitative analysis into a variety of phenomena, and new suggestions of dry-matter production. Atmospheric C0 2 diffuses into chloroplasts through physically and chemically diverse organs and substances, all of which act to resist C0 2 diffusion. Compared to electrical currents, the amount of C0 2 diffusion (photosynthetic production) is proportional to the difference in C02 concentration between the air and the chloroplast, while being inversely proportional to the resistance values. This idea is the so-called "diffusive resistance theory" first advanced in 1900 by Brown and Escombe. Further research was conducted by Penman and Schofield (1951), and Gaastra (1959), who all presented several resistances. In addition, there have been many treatises and books published on wind or diffusive resistance in relation to
9 X plants and photosynthesis. Among them, Grace's Plant Response to Wind (1977) provides further details on this subject. This selection of my readings will provide: (I) a background to why I adopted the leaf boundary layer as a resistance to C0 2 diffusion; (II) the details of the structure of the layer disclosed by a series of experiments; and (III) the relationships discovered between the layer of each type and its photosynthetic rate. The book will then describe about (IV) various phenomena observed in relation to wind by measuring aerodynamically the photosynthetic rate of the plant community in the natural environment, and will conclude with (V) another perspective on photosynthesis, different from that found in the previous chapters. The last chapter will discuss the research project that I conducted on a type of mangrove with chlorophyll in their pneumatophores. The research discovered that photosynthesis in the pneumatophores produces oxygen (02) that is transported to the roots for respiration. This kind of photosynthesis was found to be considerably different from the previously believed method of dry-matter production. It was also disclosed that the pneumatophore exchange gases with the roots in a complicated mechanism involving active transport across a membranous structure of aerenchyma. I decided to include an additional chapter in the book to explain the specificity of this type of photosynthesis. The book is a comprehensive compilation of studies that I have pursued since It can therefore be called a history of my research including the concepts, experiments, and observations that have supported my studies along the way. During my career, I could not have conducted such studies without cooperation and support from many fellow researchers and assistants. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all of them for their help. Their names are omitted here but will be listed in the papers contained in the book. I owe deep appreciation to Dr. S. Suzuki, Dr. Y. Mihara, Dr. R. Yakuwa, Dr. H. Nishiuchi, Dr. T. Kira, Dr. T. Imazu, and Dr. J. Sugi, who have all provided me with invaluable guidance since I first started treading the path of agricultural science. I also offer great thanks to Dr. Sanga Sabhasri, Dr. Watna Stienswat, Dr. Kasem Chunkao, and Dr. Vipak Jintana for graciously extending use of their various facilities and cooperation when I worked on a research project in Thailand. Also, I am sincerely grateful to Mrs. T. Sakurai for her 20-year cooperation in filing documents and papers for me. Finally, I owe deep appreciation to Dr. T. Kozai for his great efforts to edit this book, and to Mr. Y. Ohmura and Ms. H. Toida for his technical help to edit the book. K.Yabuki, Sakai, Japan, September 25, 2003
