A pot experiment was performed to study the light-response curve of photosynthesis (PN-PAR curve) of Mangifera indica and the applicability of light-response models under different soil water conditions. The experimental data were fitted and analyzed using the rectangular hyperbola model, the nonrectangular hyperbola model, the exponential model, the modified rectangular hyperbola model, and the kinetic model. The results showed that the optimal range of relative soil water content (RSWC) for the normal photosynthesis of M. indica was 45.1-77.3%. The modified rectangular hyperbola model could well fit the PN-PAR curves and photosynthetic parameters under wide range of soil water conditions (RSWC 23.3-77.3%). The rectangular hyperbola model, the nonrectangular hyperbola model, the exponential model, and the kinetic model could only be used to fit the PN-PAR curves of M. indica under mild and moderate drought stress (RSWC 45.1-77.3%).

Keywords: field capacity; light-compensation point; light-response curve; model comparison; net photosynthetic rate.
