Abstract: In order to study the effects of multi-leaf on photosynthesis and yield of konjac,the photosynthesis and yield indexes of single leaf plants and multi-leaf plants were measured and compared with the rhizomes of konjac as the materials.The results showed that the occurrence rate of multi-leaf from rhizomes was high and most of them were two-leaf plants.The lobule number and leaf area of multi-leaf plants were significantly higher than those of single leaf plants.The net photosynthetic rate(Pn) of the lobules was not significant among different types of plants and different leaves.The intercellular CO2 concentration,stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were not significantly different between the leaves of single leaf plants and the first leaves of multi-leaf plants.The maximum photosynthetic efficiency and non-photochemical quenching of photosystem Ⅱ of single leaf plants were higher,while other chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were not significantly different.The corm weight and coefficient of expansion of the multi-leaf plants were significantly higher than those of the single leaf plants,and there was no significant difference in the content of glucomannan of the corms.It was concluded that the multi-leaf mainly increased the lobule number and the leaf area to improve the yield,and had no significant effect on Pn and the content of glucomannan of the corms.
