Isolated embryos ofKarwinskia humboldtiana were cultured in vitro. The growth of embryos and development to plantlets on woody plant medium supplemented with indole-3-acetic acid 6.10-2 mol l–1, gibberellic acid (GA3) 3.10-2 mol l–1, and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) 2 mol l–1 was obtained. Multiplication of shoots and rooting of excised shoots has been achieved. Callus formation on modified Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid 10 mol l–1, GA3 14 mol l–1, and kinetin 5 mol l–1 on hypocotyls, or on root cultures on medium supplemented with 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid 10 mol l–1 and BA 10 mol l–1 was induced.Abbreviations BA

The effects of a 60 min exposure to photosynthetic photon flux densities ranging from 300 to 2200 mol m–2s–1 on the photosynthetic light response curve and on PS II heterogeneity as reflected in chlorophyll a fluorescence were investigated using the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It was established that exposure to high light acts at three different regulatory or inhibitory levels; 1) regulation occurs from 300 to 780 mol m–2s–1 where total amount of PS II centers and the shape of the light response curve is not significantly changed, 2) a first photoinhibitory range above 780 up to 1600 mol m–2s–1 where a progressive inhibition of the quantum yield and the rate of bending (convexity) of the light response curve can be related to the loss of QB-reducing centers and 3) a second photoinhibitory range above 1600 mol m–2s–1 where the rate of light saturated photosynthesis also decreases and convexity reaches zero. This was related to a particularly large decrease in PS II centers and a large increase in spill-over in energy to PS I.Abbreviations Chl

This study reports survival and physiological responses of micropropagated Ceratonia siliqua L. cvs. Galhosa and Mulata plants during ex vitro acclimatization under ambient (AC; 330 mol mol–1) or elevated (EC; 810 mol mol–1) CO2 concentration and a photosynthetic photon flux density of 125 mol m–2 s–1. CO2 enrichment during acclimatization did not improve survival rate that was around 80 % for both treatments. Eight weeks after ex vitro transplantation, photosynthetic capacity and apparent quantum yield in acclimatized leaves were higher in comparison with those in in vitro-grown leaves, without any significant difference between CO2 treatments. Chlorophyll content increased after acclimatization. However, EC led to a decrease in the total amount of chlorophyll in new leaves of both cultivars, compared to those grown at AC. Soluble sugars and starch contents were not markedly affected by growth EC, although starch had significantly increased after transfer to ex vitro conditions. EC induced an increase in the stem elongation and in the effective life of leaves, and a decrease in the number of new leaves. 相似文献

Efficiency of photosynthesis in continuous and pulsed light emitting diode irradiation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The light utilization efficiency and relative photon requirement of photosynthesis in pulsed and continuous light from light emitting diodes (LEDs) has been measured. First, we chacterized the photon requirement of photosynthesis from light of LEDs that differ in spectral quality. A photon requirement of 10.3±0.4 was measured using light from a 658 nm peak wavelength (22 nm half band width) LED over the range of 0–50 mol photons m–2 s–1 in 2 kPa O2 in leaves of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv. VF36). Because the conversion of electrical power to photons increased with wavelength, LED lamps with peak photon output of 668 nm were most efficient for converting electricity to photosynthetically fixed carbon. The effect of pulsed irradiation on photosynthesis was then measured. When all of the light to make the equivalent of 50 mol photons m–2 s–1 was provided during 1.5 s pulses of 5000 mol photons m–2 s–1 followed by 148.5 s dark periods, photosynthesis was the same as in continuous 50 mol photons m–2 s–1. When the pulse light and dark periods were lengthened to 200 s and 19.8 ms, respectively, photosynthesis was reduced, although the averaged photon flux density was unchanged. Under these conditions, the light pulses delivered 1017 photons m–2, which we calculate to be equivalent to the capacitance of PS I or PS II. Data support the theory that photons in pulses of 100 s or shorter are absorbed and stored in the reaction centers to be used in electron transport during the dark period. When light/dark pulses were lengthened to 2 ms light and 198 ms dark, net photosynthesis was reduced to half of that measured in continuous light. Pigments of the xanthophyll cycle were not affected by any of these pulsed light treatments even though zeaxanthin formation occurred when leaves were forced to dissipate an equal amount of continuous light.Abbreviations CWF

The responses to irradiance of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and photosystem 2 (PS2) electron transport were simultaneously studied by gas exchange and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence measurement in two-year-old apple tree leaves (Malus pumila Mill. cv. Tengmu No.1/Malus hupehensis Rehd). Net photosynthetic rate (P
N) was saturated at photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) 600-1 100 (mol m-2 s-1, while the PS2 non-cyclic electron transport (P-rate) showed a maximum at PPFD 800 mol m-2 s-1. With PPFD increasing, either leaf potential photosynthetic CO2 assimilation activity (Fd/Fs) and PS2 maximal photochemical activity (Fv/Fm) decreased or the ratio of the inactive PS2 reaction centres (RC) [(Fi – Fo)/(Fm – Fo)] and the slow relaxing non-photochemical Chl fluorescence quenching (qs) increased from PPFD 1 200 mol m-2 s-1, but cyclic electron transport around photosystem 1 (RFp), irradiance induced PS2 RC closure [(Fs – Fo)/Fm – Fo)], and the fast and medium relaxing non-photochemical Chl fluorescence quenching (qf and qm) increased remarkably from PPFD 900 (mol m-2 s-1. Hence leaf photosynthesis of young apple leaves saturated at PPFD 800 mol m-2 s-1 and photoinhibition occurred above PPFD 900 mol m-2 s-1. During the photoinhibition at different irradiances, young apple tree leaves could dissipate excess photons mainly by energy quenching and state transition mechanisms at PPFD 900-1 100 mol m-2 s-1, but photosynthetic apparatus damage was unavoidable from PPFD 1 200 mol m-2 s-1. We propose that Chl fluorescence parameter P-rate is superior to the gas exchange parameter P
N and the Chl fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm as a definition of saturation irradiance and photoinhibition of plant leaves. 相似文献

Synopsis Arsenic persists in Chautauqua Lake, New York waters 13 years after cessation of herbicide (sodium arsenite) application and continues to cycle within the lake. Arsenic concentrations in lake water ranged from 22.4–114.81 g l–1, = 49.0 ag l–1. Well water samples generally contained less than 10 g l–1 arsenic. Arsenic concentrations in lake water exceeded U.S. Public Health Service recommended maximum concentrations (10 g l–1) and many samples exceeded the maximum permissible limit (50 g l–1). Fish accumulated arsenic from water but did not magnify it. Fish to water arsenic ratios ranged from 0.4–41.6. Black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) contained the highest arsenic concentrations (0.14–2.04 g g–1 ), X = 0.7 g g–1) while perch (Perca flavescens), muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) contained the lowest concentrations (0.02–0.13 g g–1). Arsenic concentrations in fish do not appear to pose a health hazard for human consumers. 相似文献

Photosynthesis and growth rates of Laurencia brongniartii J. Agardh (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) in preparation for cultivation 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Laurencia brongniartii is usually found at depths below 4 m, but can be found in shallow subtidal areas in crevices and on the walls of a coral reef in Amami Oshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, where irradiances were significantly lower than those at similar depths in open water. In preparation for the possible cultivation of this species for its antibiotic compounds, the effects of temperature and irradiance on photosynthesis and growth were measured. Photosynthesis and growth rates of L. brongniartii explants were highest at 26 and 28 °C, which closely corresponded to temperatures found during August to late December when it was most abundant. The estimated maximum photosynthesis rate (P
max) was 4.41 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 26 °C and 4.07 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 28 °C. Saturating irradiance occurred at 95 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 26 °C and 65 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 28 °C. In contrast, growth experiments at 41.7 mol photon m–2 s–1 caused bleaching of explants and the maximum growth rate observed during the study was 3.02 ± 0.75% day–1 at 28 °C and 25 mol photon m–2 s–1. The difference in the saturating irradiance for photosynthesis and the irradiance that caused bleaching in growth experiments suggests that long-term exposure to high irradiance was detrimental and should be addressed before the initiation of large scale cultivation. 相似文献

2–, Co2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Zn2+) on the biosynthesis of camptothecin and the growth of suspension cultures of Camptotheca acuminata were studied. The increase of I– to 25 M l–1, Cu2+ to 1 M l–1, Co2+ to 2 M l–1 and MoO4
2– to 10 M l–1 in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium resulted in 1.66, 2.84, 2.53 and 2.04 times higher of camptothecin yield than that in standard MS medium respectively. Combined treatment of I– (25 M l–1), Cu2+ (1 M l–1), Co2+ (2 M l–1) and MoO4
2– (10 M l–1) lead to improve cell dry weight, camptothecin content, and camptothecin yield to 30.56 g l–1, 0.0299%, and 9.15 mg l–1, respectively, which were 20.2, 208.9 and 273.8% increment respectively when compared with those of control. 相似文献

Strawberry (Fragaria ananassaDuch. cv. Fengxiang) plantlets were cultured under two in vitroenvironments for rooting, and then acclimatized under two ex vitroirradiance conditions. At the end of rooting stage plant height, fresh weight and specific leaf area of T1-plants grown under high sucrose concentration (3 sucrose), low photosynthetic photon flux density (30 mol m–2 s–1) and normal CO2 concentration (350–400 l l–1) were significantly higher than those of T2-plantlets grown under low sucrose concentration (0.5), high photosynthetic photon flux density (90 mol m–2 s–1) and elevated CO2 concentration (700–800 l l–1). But T2-plantlets had higher net photosynthetic rate (Pn), effective photochemical quantum yield of PSII (PSII), effective photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR), photochemical quenching (qP) and ratio of chlorophyll fluorescence yield decrease (Rfd). After transfer, higher irradiance obviously promoted the growth of plantlets and was beneficial for the development of photosynthetic functions during acclimatization. T2-plantlets had higher fresh weight, leaf area, PSII and ETR under higher ex vitroirradiance condition. 相似文献

Hydrodictyon reticulatum (L.) Lagerh. is a recent addition to the New Zealand flora and is expanding its distribution rapidly. Proliferations of the alga now constitute an economic nuisance in waters which have not previously suffered filamentous algal blooms. To better understand the current and likely future spread of the alga and to identify possible management options the alga's growth requirements have been investigated. A strain isolated from New Zealand tolerated temperatures between 5 and 40 °C and salinities from 0 to 5. Optimal growth was at 25 °C, 150 mol photon m–2s–1 and in freshwater. Nett photosynthesis was saturated at photon flux densities of 100 and 160 mol m–2s–1 at 12 and 20 °C, respectively. Growth rate was linearly related to internal N concentration and hyperbolically to internal P concentration. Minimum cellular nutrient contents, by weight, were 1% N and 0.2% P. Growth was saturated at contents of 5% N and 0.5% P under the conditions of culture (20 °C, 150 mol photon m–2s–1). The alga maintained optimal cellular N content at low ambient nitrate concentrations (100 mg m–3) half optimum content at 18 mg m–3. Affinity for filtrable reactive phosphorus was not unusually high compared to other filamentous algae. We suggest that this alga is occupying a niche in New Zealand which has been precluded from other filamentous nuisance algae by low N concentration and N:P ratio. The significance of these findings in setting environmental targets for management of this nuisance alga is discussed.Author for correspondence 相似文献

A method of measuring CO2gas exchange (caused, for example, by microalgal photosynthesis on emersed tidal mudflats) using open flow IR gas analyzers is described. The analyzers are integrated in a conventional portable photosynthesis system (LI-6400, LI-COR, Nebraska, USA), which allows manipulation and automatic recording of environmental parameters at the field site. Special bottomless measuring chambers are placed directly on the surface sediment. Measurements are performed under natural light conditions and ambient CO2concentrations, as well as under different CO2concentrations in air, and various PAR radiation levels produced by a LED light source built into one of the measurement chambers. First results from tidal channel banks in a north Brazilian mangrove system at Bragança (Pará, Brazil) under controlled conditions show a marked response of CO2assimilation to CO2concentration and to irradiance. Photosynthesis at 100molmol–1CO2in air in one sample of a well-developed algal mat was saturated at 309mol photons m–2s–1, but increased with increasing ambient CO2concentrations (350 and 1000mol mol–1CO2) in the measuring chamber. Net CO2assimilation was 0.8mol CO2m–2s–1at 100mol mol–1CO2, 5.9mol CO2m–2s–1at 350mol mol–1CO2and 9.8mol CO2m–2s–1at 1000mol mol–1CO2. Compensation irradiance decreased and apparent photon yield increased with ambient CO2concentration. Measurements under natural conditions resulted in a quick response of CO2exchange rates when light conditions changed. We recommend the measuring system for rapid estimations of benthic primary production and as a valuable field research tool in connection with certain ecophysiological aspects under changing environmental conditions. 相似文献

Young sporophytes of short-stipe ecotype ofEcklonia cavafrom a warmer locality (Tei, Kochi Pref., southern Japan) and those of long-stipe ecotype from a cooler locality (Nabeta, Shizuoka Pref., central Japan) were transplanted in 1995 to artificial reefs immersed at the habitat of long-stipe ecotype in Nabeta Bay, Shizuoka Pref., central Japan. The characteristics of photosynthesis and respiration of bladelets of the transplanted sporophytes of the two ecotypes were compared in winter and summer 1997; the results were assessed per unit area, per unit chlorophyllacontent and per unit dry weight. In photosynthesis-light curves at 10–29 °C, light saturation occurred at 200–400 mol photon m–2s–1in sporophytes from both Tei and Nabeta. The maximum photosynthetic rate (P
max) at 10–29 °C and the light-saturation index (I
k) at 25–29 °C in sporophytes from both localities were generally higher in winter than in summer.P
maxat 25–29 °C (per unit area and chlorophylla) were higher in sporophytes from Tei than those from Nabeta in both seasons. The optimum temperature for photosynthesis was 25 °C in winter and 27 °C in summer at high light intensities of 100–400 mol photon m–2s–1. However, at lower light intensities of 12.5–50 mol photon m–2s–1, it was 20 °C in winter and 25–27 °C in summer for sporophytes from both locations. Dark respiration increased with temperature rise in the range of 10–29 °C in sporophytes from both locations in summer and winter. The sporophytes transplanted from Tei (warmer area) showed higher photosynthetic activities than those from Nabeta (cooler area) at warmer temperatures even under the same environmental conditions. This indicates that these physiological ecotypes have arisen from genetic differentiation. 相似文献

Certain yeast cells on solid nutrient medium produced colonies surrounded by a light zone of selenite absorption. This screening procedure resulted in the selection of 22 strains out of 200 isolates with different Se4+-absorbing capacity ranging from 16 to 98.8 g Se4+ g–1 l–1 h–1. The highest rate of Se4+ elimination from the Na2SeO3 solution was observed with an oval shaped, cream pigmented fermentative yeast, tentatively called Candida sp. strain MS4. This strain was isolated from wastewater and found to accumulate selenium oxyanions. Se4+ uptake involved both inactive and active phenomena. The amounts of selenium (initial concentration 2 mg Se4+ l–1) removed from aqueous solution by inactive and active phenomena were 667 g Se4+ g–1 l–1, and 1580 g Se4+ g–1 l–1, respectively. The strain also removed selenate inactively (135 g Se6+ g–1 l–1). 相似文献

The utility of interstitial water concentrations of metals and simultaneously extracted metals/acid-volatile sulfide differences (SEM–AVS) in two seasons were investigated to explain the biological availability of zinc in sediments to benthic organisms exposed in the laboratory. The amphipod Grandidierella japonica was exposed, in 10-day acute toxicity tests, to clean sediment spiked with zinc to obtain nominal treatments ranging from 0.25 to 74.4 mol g–1 dry weight with respect to the molar difference between SEMZn and AVS. When the molar difference between SEMZn and AVS (i.e., SEM–AVS) was <0 mol g–1, the concentration of zinc in the sediment interstitial water was low and few adverse effects were observed for any of the biological endpoints measured. Conversely, when SEMZn–AVS exceeded 0 mol g–1, the concentration of zinc in the interstitial water and amphipod mortality increased. These data compare favorably with observations made in short-term exposures and thus support the use of AVS as a normalization phase for predicting toxicity in metal-contaminated sediments in different season. 相似文献

The light-dependent modulation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity was studied in two species: Phaseolus vulgaris L., which has high levels of the inhibitor of Rubisco activity, carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P), in the dark, and Chenopodium album L., which has little CA1P. In both species, the ratio of initial to fully-activated Rubisco activity declined by 40–50% within 60 min of a reduction in light from high a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD; >700 mol · m–2 · s–1) to a low PPFD (65 ± 15 mol · m–2 · s–1) or to darkness, indicating that decarbamylation of Rubisco is substantially involved in the initial regulatory response of Rubisco to a reduction in PPFD, even in species with potentially extensive CA1P inhibition. Total Rubisco activity was unaffected by PPFD in C. album, and prolonged exposure (2–6 h) to low light or darkness was accompanied by a slow decline in the activity ratio of this species. This indicates that the carbamylation state of Rubisco from C. album gradually declines for hours after the large initial drop in the first 60 min following light reduction. In P. vulgaris, the total activity of Rubisco declined by 10–30% within 1 h after a reduction in PPFD to below 100 mol · m–2 · s–1, indicating CA1P-binding contributes significantly to the reduction of Rubisco capacity during this period, but to a lesser extent than decarbamylation. With continued exposure of P. vulgaris leaves to very low PPFDs (< 30 mol · m–2 · s–1), the total activity of Rubisco declined steadily so that after 6–6.5 h of exposure to very low light or darkness, it was only 10–20% of the high-light value. These results indicate that while decarbamylation is more prominent in the initial regulatory response of Rubisco to a reduction in PPFD in P. vulgaris, binding of CA1P increases over time and after a few hours dominates the regulation of Rubisco activity in darkness and at very low PPFDs.Abbreviations CA1P

Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. cvs. TX430 and KS82] was grown in a Haynie very fine sandy loam (coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, calcareous, mesic Mollic Udifluvents) under constant 47 % shade or full irradiance in a greenhouse under two watering regimes to see the combined and individual effects of low irradiance (LI) and low water (LW) on the sorghum genotypes. Under the high-irradiance (HI) and high-water (HW) treatment (control) and the LI-HW treatment, TX430 grew taller than KS82. Both LI and LW reduced several times the fresh and dry masses. Under the control conditions, TX430 reached its maximum net photosynthetic rate (P
Nmax) of 28.93 mol m–2 s–1 at a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 1 707 mol m–2 s–1, and KS82 reached its P
Nmax of 28.32 mol m–2 s–1 at a PPFD of 2 973 mol m–2 s–1. The fact that TX430 had P
Nmax under a lower PPFD than KS82 may relate to its taller growth under LI conditions. Hence genotypes of sorghum might be selected for low irradiance using curves relating P
N to PPFD. 相似文献

The effect of lead on the filtration rate of the zebra musselDreissena polymorpha was investigated, together with the accumulation of Pb in the soft tissues of the mussels. The NOEC-filtration was 116 g.l–1 (0,56 mol.l–1) and the EC50-filtration was 370 g.l–1 (1.79 mol.l–1). The NOEC-accumulation was the concentration found in the control water (1.4g.l–1). These experiments show that the EC50-filtration for Pb is similar to that for Cd, higher than that for Cu and lower than that for Zn. The water quality criteria for lead allow 25 g Pb.l–1 in surface water. This will not cause short-term effects. Long-term effects may, however, occur, since an accumulation of Pb as low as 16 g.l–1 was recorded in this study. 相似文献

Hydrogenase was solubilized from the membrane of acetate-grown Methanosarcina barkeri MS and purification was carried out under aerobic conditions. The enzyme was reactivated under reducing conditions in the presence of H2. The enzyme showed a maximal activity of 120±40 mol H2 oxidized · min–1 · min–1 with methyl viologen as an electron acceptor, a maximal hydrogen production rate of 45±4 mol H2 · min–1 · mg–1 with methyl viologen as electron donor, and an apparent K
m for hydrogen oxidation of 5.6±1.7 M. The molecular weight estimated by gel filtration was 98,000. SDS-PAGE showed the enzyme to consist of two polypeptides of 57,000 and 35,000 present in a 1:1 ratio. The native protein contained 8±2 mol Fe, 8±2 mol S2–, and 0.5 mol Ni/mol enzyme. Cytochrome b was reduced by hydrogen in a solubilized membrane preparation. The hydrogenase did not couple with autologous F420 or ferredoxin, nor with FAD, FMN, or NAD(P)+. The physiological function of the membrane-bound hydrogenase in hydrogen consumption is discussed.Abbreviation CoM-S-S-HTP

The growth and photosynthetic responses ofPterocladiella capillaceato NH4, PO4, CO2-enrichment, pH, irradiance and temperature were evaluated for winter or summer plants cultivated under laboratory and outdoor settings. In the laboratory, using a gradient table, optimal growth temperature and irradiance for winter plants occurred at 10–20 °C and 100 mol photon m–2s–1, averaging 24.3% per week. The optimal growth conditions found for summer plants were 10–20 °C and 20 mol photon m–2s–1, averaging 29.0% per week. In a pH-stat cultivation system photosynthetic rates and growth rates were largely unaffected by pH in the range 6.5–8.5, however, they both decreased significantly above 8.5. In outdoor settings, using 40 L tanks,P. capillaceawas more responsive to the frequency the algae were fed with NH4and PO4rather than the relative concentrations of these nutrients. The average growth rates during winter were 28.3% and 12.5% per week when NH4and PO4were included once and twice a week for 24-h periods, respectively, while summer plants grew 15.0% and 25.3% per week at these nutrient regimes. Algae grown in seawater (containing 13.8 ± 1.8 M CO2) or CO2-enriched seawater (averaging 33.7 ± 13.2 M CO2) had similar growth rates or even reduced productivity under CO2-enrichment during winter. Concentrations of chlorophyllawere in average significantly higher in winter as compared to summer especially when nutrients were included twice a week. Phycoerythrin levels were also higher for plants fed with nutrients twice a week particularly during summer time. Although agar yields were limited and not seasonally dependent, this study shows high growth capacity forP. capillaceaas compared to previous investigations. Future mariculture prospective using current tank cultivation techniques for this species will likely depend on market demands for high quality agar. 相似文献

To investigate whether the in-vivo photoinhibition of photosystem II (PSII) function by excess light is an intrinsic property of PSII, the maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) and the content of functional PSII (measured by repetitive flash yield of oxygen evolution) were determined in leaves of pea (Pisum sativum L.), grown in 50 (low light), 250 (medium light), and 650 (high light) mol photons·m–2·s–1. The modulation of PSII functionality in vivo was induced in 1.1% CO2 by varying either (i) the duration (0–2 h) of light treatment (fixed at 1800 mol photons· m–2·s–1) or (ii) irradiance (0–3200 mol photons·m–2·s–1) at a fixed duration (1 h), after infiltration of leaves with water (control), lincomycin (an inhibitor of chloroplast-encoded protein synthesis), or a combination of lincomycin with nigericin (an uncoupler), through the cut petioles of leaves of 22-to 24-d-old plants. The reciprocity law of irradiance and duration of illumination for PSII function in vivo (Park et al. 1995, Planta 196: 401–411) holds in all differently light-grown peas, demonstrating that inactivation of functional PSII depends on photon exposure (mol photons·m–2), not on the rate of photon absorption. In vivo, PSII acts as an intrinsic photon counter and at higher photon exposures is inactivated following absorption of about 3 × 107 photons. There is a functional heterogeneity of PSII in vivo with 25% less-stable PSIIs that are inactivated at low photon exposure, compared to 75% more-stable PSIIs regardless of modulation of the photosynthetic apparatus. We suggest that the less-stable PSIIs represent monomers located in the nonappressed granal margins, while the more-stable PSIIs are dimers located in the appressed grana membrane cores. The capacity for D1-protein synthesis was the same in all the light-acclimated peas and saturated at low light, indicating that D1-protein repair is also an intrinsic property of PSII. This accounts for the low intensity required for recovery of photoinhibition in sun and shade plants which is independent of light-harvesting antennae size or PSII/PSI stoichiometries.Abbreviations D1-protein
