Responses to Deficiencies in Macronutrients

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 7))

Summary

All organisms are able to acclimate to less than optimal environmental conditions. In this chapter we discuss how Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acclimates to deficiencies in macronutrients. The physiological changes that occur during macronutrient starvation can be classified as specific and common responses. Specific responses occur during limitation for a particular nutrient, while common responses occur during limitationfor any nutrient.Specific responses include changes in nutrient transport characteristics and induction of nutrient scavenging systems. General responses include decreases in cell division, photosynthesis and respiration. The decrease in photosynthesis has been shown to be essential for surviving severe sulfur-stress as a mutant unable to decrease photosynthesis cannot survive these conditions. We propose a model of how specific and general responses to nutrient limitation are regulated and discuss how mutants deficient in these responses fit in to this model.
