Abstract: Effects of different low night temperature (12℃, 9℃, 6℃, and 15℃ as control) on photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics were investigated in tomato seedlings . Results showed that the dry matter accumulation of plants was restrained under low night temperature. Total chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate decreased. The stomatal conductance (Gs) , intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) , transpiration rate ( Tr) decreased but the stomatal limitation (Ls) increased in comparison with the
control. The photosynthetic rate and related factors could be resumed to normal standard after 10 days treatment of 12℃and 9℃. Photosynthetic related factors could be recovered, but the net photosynthetic rate could
not resumed at 6℃. This indicated that the low photosynthetic rate was not related to Gs, Ci, Tr and Ls during the recovery period after 6℃ treatment. Fv/Fm, ΦPSⅡ , ETR were not significantly affected under low night temperature, because all of them could be recovered soon after released from low night temperature stress. The results indicated that PSⅡ of tomato seedlings was not damaged under the low night temperature and the period of treatment within the designed experiments.
