Oscillations in the rate of photosynthesis of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) leaves were induced by subjecting leaves, whose photosynthetic apparatus had been activated, to a sudden transition from darkness or low light to high-intensity illumination, or by transfering them in the light from air to an atmosphere containing saturating CO2. It was found that at the first maximum, light-and CO2-saturated photosynthesis can be much faster than steady-state photosynthesis. Both QA in the reaction center of PS II and P700 in the reaction center of PS I of the chloroplast electron-transport chain were more oxidized during the maxima of photosynthesis than during the minima. Maxima of P700 oxidation slightly preceded maxima in photosynthesis. During a transition from low to high irradiance, the assimilatory force FA, which was calculated from ratios of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to phosphoglycerate under the assumption that the reactions catalyzed by NADP-dependent glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase and triosephosphate isomerase are close to equilibrium, oscillated in parallel with photosynthesis. However, only one of its components, the calculated phosphorylation potential (ATP)/(ADP)(Pi), paralleled photosynthesis, whereas calculated NADPH/NADP ratios exhibited antiparallel behaviour. When photosynthetic oscillations were initiated by a transition from low to high CO2, the assimilatory force FA declined, was very low at the first minimum of photosynthesis and increased as photosynthesis rose to its second maximum. The observations indicate that the minima in photosynthesis are caused by lack of ATP. This leads to overreduction of the electron-transport chain which is indicated by the reduction of P700. During photosynthetic oscillations the chloroplast thylakoid system is unable to adjust the supply of ATP and NADPH rapidly to demand at the stoichiometric relationship required by the carbonreduction cycle.Abbreviations PGA

The kinetics of the postillumination reduction of P700+ which reflects the rate constant for plastoquinol (PQH2) oxidation was recorded in sunflower leaves at different photon absorption densities (PAD), CO2 and O2 concentrations. The P700 oxidation state was calculated from the leaf transmittance at 830 nm logged at 50 s intervals. The P700+ dark reduction kinetics were fitted with two exponents with time constants of 6.5 and about 45 ms at atmospheric CO2 and O2 concentrations. The time constant of the fast component, which is the major contributor to the linear electron transport rate (ETR), did not change over the range of PADs of 14.5 to 134 nmol cm-2 s-1 in 21% O2, but it increased up to 40 ms under severe limitation of ETR at low O2 and CO2. The acceptor side of Photosystem I (PS I) became reduced in correlation with the downregulation of the PQH2 oxidation rate constant. It is concluded that thylakoid pH-related downregulation of the PQH2 oxidation rate constant (photosynthetic control) is not present under normal atmospheric conditions but appears under severe limitation of the availability of electron acceptors. The measured range of photosynthetic control fits with the maximum variation of ETR under natural stress in C3 plants. Increasing the carboxylase/oxygenase specificity would lead to higher reduction of the PS I acceptor side under stress.Abbreviations Cyt b

Summary Evolutionary and ontogenetic variation of six seedling esterases of independent genetic control is studied in polyploid wheats and their diploid relatives by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Four of them are shown to be controlled by homoeoallelic genes in chromosomes of third, sixth and seventh homoeologous groups.The isoesterase electrophoretic data are considered supporting a monophyletic origin of both the primitive tetraploid and the primitive hexaploid wheat from which contemporary taxa of polyploid wheats have emerged polyphyletically and polytopically through recurrent introgressive hybridization and accumulation of mutations. Ancestral diploids belonging or closely related to Triticum boeoticum, T. urartu, Aegilops speltoides and Ae. tauschii ssp. strangulata are genetically the most suitable genome donors of polyploid wheats. Diploids of the Emarginata subsection of the section Sitopsis, Aegilops longissima s.str., Ae. sharonensis, Ae. searsii and Ae. bicornis, are unsuitable for the role of the wheat B genome donors, being all fixed for the esterase B and D electromorphs different from those of tetraploid wheats. 相似文献

Chl fluorescence induction (FI) was recorded in sunflower leaves pre-adapted to darkness or low preferentially PSI light, or inhibited by DCMU. For analysis the FI curves were plotted against the cumulative number of excitations quenched by PSII, n q, calculated as the cumulative complementary area above the FI curve. In the +DCMU leaves n q was <1 per PSII, suggesting pre-reduction of Q A during the dark pre-exposure. A strongly sigmoidal FI curve was constructed by complementing (shifting) the recorded FI curves to n q = 1 excitation per PSII. The full FI curve in +DCMU leaves was well fitted by a model assuming PSII antennae are excitonically connected in domains of four PSII. This result, obtained by gradually reducing Q A in PSII with pre-blocked Q B (by DCMU or PQH2), differs from that obtained by gradually blocking the Q B site (by increasing DCMU or PQH2 level) in leaves during (quasi)steady-state e? transport (Oja and Laisk, Photosynth Res 114, 15–28, 2012). Explanations are discussed. Donor side quenching was characterized by comparison of the total n q in one and the same dark-adapted leaf, which apparently increased with increasing PFD during FI. An explanation for the donor side quenching is proposed, based on electron transfer from excited P680* to oxidized tyrosine Z (TyrZox). At high PFDs the donor side quenching at the J inflection of FI is due mainly to photochemical quenching by TyrZox. This quenching remains active for subsequent photons while TyrZ remains oxidized, following charge transfer to Q A. During further induction this quenching disappears as soon as PQ and Q A become reduced, charge separation becomes impossible and TyrZ is reduced by the water oxidizing complex. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is dependent on apolipoprotein CII (apoCII), a component of plasma lipoproteins, for function in vivo. The hydrophobic fluorescent probe 1,1'-bis(anilino)-4,4'-bis(naphthalene)-8,8'-disulfonate (bis-ANS) was found to be a potent inhibitor of LPL. ApoCII prevented the inhibition by bis-ANS, and was also able to restore the activity of inhibited LPL in a competitive manner, but only with triacylglycerols with acyl chains longer than three carbons. Studies of fluorescence and surface plasmon resonance indicated that LPL has an exposed hydrophobic site for binding of bis-ANS. The high affinity interaction was characterized by an equilibrium constant Kd of 0.10-0.26 microm and by a relatively high on rate constant kass = 2.0 x 10(4) m(-1) s(-1) and a slow off-rate with a dissociation rate constant kdiss = 1.2 x 10(-4) s(-1). The high affinity binding of bis-ANS did not influence interaction of LPL with heparin or with lipid/water interfaces and did not dissociate the active LPL dimer into monomers. Analysis of fragments of LPL after photoincorporation of bis-ANS indicated that the high affinity binding site was located in the middle part of the N-terminal folding domain. We propose that bis-ANS binds to an exposed hydrophobic area that is located close to the active site. This area may be the binding site for individual substrate molecules and also for apoCII. 相似文献

Chlorophyll fluorescence constitutes a simple, rapid, and non-invasive means to assess light utilization in Photosystem II
(PS II). This study examines aspects relating to the accuracy and applicability of fluorescence for measurement of PS II photochemical
quantum yield in intact leaves. A known source of error is fluorescence emission at 730 nm that arises from Photosystem I
(PS I). We measured this PS I offset using a dual channel detection system that allows measurement of fluorescence yield in
the red (660 nm < F < 710 nm) or far red (F > 710 nm) region of the fluorescence emission spectrum. The magnitude of the PS
I offset was equivalent to 30% and 48% of the dark level fluorescence F0 in the far red region for Helianthus annuus and Sorghum bicolor, respectively. The PS I offset was therefore subtracted from fluorescence yields measured in the far red spectral window
prior to calculation of PS II quantum yield. Resulting values of PS II quantum yield were consistently higher than corresponding
values based on emission in the red region. The basis for this discrepancy lies in the finite optical thickness of the leaf
that leads to selective reabsorption by chlorophyll of red fluorescence emission originating in deeper cell layers. Consequently,
red fluorescence measurements preferentially sense emission from chloroplasts in the uppermost layer of the leaf where levels
of photoprotective nonphotochemical quenching are higher due to increased photon density. It is suggested that far red fluorescence,
corrected for the PS I offset, provides the most reliable quantitative basis for calculation of PS II quantum yield because
of reduced sensitivity of these measurements to gradients in leaf transmittance and quenching capacity.

Molecular allozyme markers of three polymorphic isozymes were used to estimate the genetic diversity among the seed progeny in fragmented Estonian populations of sickle medic Medicago sativa ssp. falcata L. depending on the population size and the isolation degree. Genetic diversity He was high in all populations, ranging between 0.795 and 0.893. No correlation between the genetic diversity measures and population size or isolation distance was found. Even the smallest population had equally high genetic diversity as about a hundred times larger population. Genetic differentiation of populations into two major groups was associated with the geographic position of populations, except one remote population. Elimination of seed progeny of reduced fitness by embryo abortion and continuous yearlong contribution of the highly heterozygous progeny through the soil seed bank are considered as important supplementary factors that have contributed to maintaining high levels of genetic diversity in populations of sickle medic in addition to its autotetraploid nature and perennial life form. 相似文献

Oxidation of photosystem I (PSI) donors under far-red light (FRL), slow re-reduction by stromal reductants and fast re-reduction
in the dark subsequent to illumination by white light (WL) were recorded in leaves of several C3 plants at 810 and 950 nm. During the re-reduction from stromal reductants the mutual interdependence of the two signals followed
the theoretical relationship calculated assuming redox equilibrium between plastocyanin (PC) and P700, with the equilibrium
constant of 40 ± 10 (ΔE
m = 86–99 mV) in most of the measured 24 leaves of nine plant species. The presence of non-oxidizable PC of up to 13% of the
whole pool, indicating partial control of electron transport by PC diffusion, was transiently detected during a saturation
pulse of white light superimposed on FRL or on low WL. Nevertheless, non-oxidizable PC was absent in the steady state during
fast light-saturated photosynthesis. It is concluded that in leaves during steady state photosynthesis the electron transport
rate is not critically limited by PC diffusion, but the high-potential electron carriers PC and P700 remain close to the redox
equilibrium. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a 70-residue hormone containing three intramolecular disulfide bridges. IGF-1 and other growth factors are oxidatively folded in the endoplasmic reticulum and act primarily in the blood, under relatively oxidative conditions. It is known that IGF-1 exists in various intracellular and extracellular compartments in the oxidized form; however, the reduction potential of IGF-1 and the ability of fully reduced IGF-1, which contains six cysteine residues, to bind transition metal ions are not known. In this work, we determine that the redox potential of human IGF-1 is equal to -332 mV and the reduced form of hIGF-1 can bind cooperatively four Cu(+) ions, most probably into a tetracopper-hexathiolate cluster. The Cu(+) binding affinity of hIGF-1 is, however, approximately 3 times lower than that for the copper chaperones; thus, we can conclude that fully reduced hIGF-1 cannot compete with known Cu(+)-binding proteins. 相似文献
