Rice plants with different N content were prepared by additional application of ammonium sulfate to soils several days before the measurement of photosynthetic rate in gasmetric system using an IR gas analyzer. Stomatal aperture and conductance on the same leaf blades used for the measurement of photosynthesis was measured by improved infiltration method and by diffusive resistance meter, respectively. A positive correlation was found between N content in leaf blades and photosynthetic rate, but the photosynthetic rate varied to some extent even in leaf blades with the same N content, probably due to the difference of stomatal aperture and conductance. A high positive correlation was clarified between stomatal aperture or conductance and the photosynthetic rate in leaf blades with wide range of N content. The photosynthetic rate increased due to the increase in the stomatal aperture and conductance in leaf blades with higher N content. A positive correlation was found between N content and photosynthetic rate in leaf blades with the same stomatal aperture and conductance only when the extent of stomatal opening was sufficient. The increase in the photosynthetic rate due to the increase in N content was comparatively small in leaf blades with the same stomatal aperture and conductance. Mesophyll conductance was positively correlated with N content in leaf blades, especially with lower N content. Two factors are considered in the increase in photosynthetic rate in relation to N content: an increase in chloroplast activity in CO2 fixation and a decrease in the resistance to CO2 transfer from the atmosphere to mesophyll due to the increase in stomatal aperture and conductance.
