Abstract: | The present study examined the effect of UV andphotosynthetically active radiation (PAR) onphotoinhibition and recovery in the Phaeophyte Macrocystis pyrifera, the Rhodophyte Chondruscrispus and the Chlorophyte Ulva lactuca underoutdoor culture conditions. There was an increase inphotoinhibition as a consequence of high exposure toUV-B radiation in M. pyrifera, however, highlevels of PAR accounted for most of thephotoinhibition in C. crispus and U.lactuca. Photodamage by UV-A, UV-B and PAR wascompletely repaired within 5 h and effective quantumyield reached pretreatment values in the three speciesstudied. Species were less susceptible tophotoinhibition after being incubated for 5 d underhigh exposures of natural irradiance suggesting aphotoadaptive process. The recovery of the effectivequantum yield was impaired by long exposure to highlevels of UV-B in C. crispus and UV-A, UV-B andPAR in M. pyrifera. This suggests a differentkind of damage by UV-A and PAR radiation, one to thephotosynthetic apparatus and another which affects therepair mechanism of some species. There was anincrease in UV-absorption ( 330 nm) in M. pyrifera and C. crispus within four days ofthe initiation of the experiment suggesting that thesespecies photoprotect their photosynthetic system whenexposed to elevated UV and PAR levels. |
