Abstract:
      The diurnal variation of photosynthetie eharacteristics in jujube field in Tarim Basin under water stress was monitored using portable LI-6400 photosynthesis system at the stage of full fruit. The results showed that the curves of diurnal variation in Pn(net photosynthetic rate)and Tr(transpiration rate)had single peaks; Pn, PAR(photosyn- thetically active radiation), RH(relative humidity), Ta(atmospherie temperature)and Ca(CO2 concentration in the field)differed significantly amongst four water treatments at 0.01 level; WUE(water use efficiency)differed significantly amongst four water treatments at 0.5 level, whereas there was no difference in Tr. Based on tendency of changes of photosynthesis characteristics and WUE, it was speculated that jujube could adapt to extreme arid condition, dry condi-tion, and the proper water amount of drip irrigation was about 320 m3/667m2.
