Photosynthetic induction responses to abrupt increases in photon flux density (PFD) to 800 and 1500 &amp;mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1) from either darkness or 100 &amp;mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1) were examined in situ in leaves of Fagus crenata Blume, Daphniphyllum humile Maxim., and Acer rufinerve Siebold &amp; Zucc. growing in a gap and the understory of an F. crenata forest. Among the species studied, F. crenata exhibited the highest assimilation rate (A(100)), stomatal conductance (g(s100)) at the background PFD of 100 &amp;mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1), and A(100)/A(max) (A(max) = maximum assimilation rate), in both the gap and the understory. Time required for full induction depended on both background PFD and maximum PFD. The induction period was 2-4-fold shorter at a background PFD of 100 &amp;mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1) than in darkness. For the three understory species, time required to full induction was 2-3-fold longer when irradiance was increased from darkness to 800 &amp;mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1) than when irradiance was increased from darkness to 1500 &amp;mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1). Acer rufinerve showed higher initial stomatal conductance (g(s0)) and a shorter induction period in the understory than in the gap. Fagus crenata exhibited a similar g(s0) and induction period in both habitats. Daphniphyllum humile demonstrated lower g(s0) and a longer induction period in the understory than in the gap. These findings indicate that initial stomatal conductance is closely correlated with the photosynthetic induction response. We conclude that the photosynthetic induction response is affected by the light conditions experienced by plants before the sudden increase in irradiance and by the extent of the increase in irradiance.
