Abstract: The coupled processes of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration are controlled by stomotal,and the relation2ship between stomotal conductance and photosynthesis rate is the basis of understanding carbon and water cycle in terres2trial ecosystem. The differences in the relationship between stomotal conductance and photosynthesis rate in C3and C4plant species were studied under controlled light density and CO2concentration by LI26400 Portable Photosynthesis Sys2tem. The results showed:Ball2Berry model can reasonably simulate the relation between stomotal conductance and photo2synthesis rate even under various CO2concentration conditions. The coefficient between stomotal conductance and photo2synthesis rate revealed the difference in the ratio of water2carbon exchange,and in the limitations of stomotal and interphysiochemical processes between the different crop types.Because obvious differences in the coefficient between stomotalconductance and photosynthesis rate were found between C3and C4crops,and between terricolous and aquicolous C3crops,the crop ecotype can be generally distinguished three types:C4,terricolous and aquicolous C3crops. The differentia2tion of crop ecotype will improve the accuracy in modeling carbon and water cycle in regional scale.

Key words: C3crop, C4crop, Stomotal conductance, Photosynthesis rate, Ecotype
