Abstract: | Electric field-induced charge recombination in Photosystem II (PS II) was studied in osmotically swollen spinach chloroplasts (blebs) by measurement of the concomitant chlorophyll luminescence emission (electroluminescence). A pronounced dependence on the redox state of the two-electron gate QB was observed and the earlier failure to detect it is explained. The influence of the QB/QB
– oscillation on electroluminescence was dependent on the redox state of the oxygen evolving complex; at times around one millisecond after flash illumination a large effect was observed in the states S2 and S3, but not in the state S4 (actually Z+S3). The presence of the oxidized secondary electron donor, tyrosine Z+, appeared to prevent expression of the QB/QB
– effect on electroluminescence, possibly because this effect is primarily due to a shift of the redox equilibrium between Z/Z+ and the oxygen evolving complex.Abbreviations BSA
