Isolated mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells of Digitaria sanguinalis were used to study the light-absorbing pigments and electron transport reactions of a plant which possesses the C 4-dicarboxylic acid cycle of photosynthesis. Absorption spectra and chlorophyll determinations are presented showing that mesophyll cells have a chlorophyll a- b ratio of about 3.0 and bundle sheath cells have a chlorophyll a- b ratio of about 4.5. The absorption spectrum of bundle sheath cells has a greater absorption in the 700 nm region at liquid nitrogen temperature, and there is a relatively greater amount of a pigment absorbing at 670 nm in the bundle sheath cells compared to the mesophyll cells. Fluorescence emission spectra, at liquid nitrogen temperature, of mesophyll cells have a fluorescence 730 nm-685 nm ratio of about 0.82 and bundle sheath cells have a ratio of about 2.84. The reversible light-induced absorption change in the region of P 700 absorption is similar in both cell types but bundle sheath cells exhibit about twice as much total P 700 change as mesophyll cells on a total chlorophyll basis. The delayed light emission of bundle sheath cells is about one-half that of mesophyll cells. Both mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells evolve oxygen in the presence of Hill oxidants with the mesophyll cells exhibiting about twice the activity of bundle sheath cells, and both activities are inhibited by 1 μM 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea. Ferredoxin nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reductase is present in both cells although it is about 3- or 4-fold higher in mesophyll cells than in bundle sheath cells. Glyceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenases, both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, are equally distributed in the two cell types on a chlorophyll basis. Malic enzyme is localized in the bundle sheath cells. 相似文献

Heterobaric leaves are characterized by transparent regions in their lamina, due to the occurrence of bundle sheath extensions. Fused silica fibre‐optic microprobes were used to monitor light gradients and part of the spectral regime along the bundle sheath extensions, as well as along the mesophyll in the heterobaric leaves of two representative plants, one mesomorphic ( Vitis vinifera L.) and one xeromorphic ( Quercus coccifera L.). It was found that the attenuation of collimated visible light by the bundle sheath extensions of both plants was weaker than the attenuation by the photosynthetic parenchyma layers. However, only a small portion of the amount of light that strikes the leaf surface is transmitted through these structures. The adaxial epidermis covering the bundle sheath extensions, as well as the mesophyll, afforded similar effective protection against UV radiation in both tissues. The relative amount of the forward‐scattered visible light inside the bundle sheath extensions approached that detected by the microprobe at the adaxial illuminated leaf surface. Moreover, light transmitted through the bundle sheath extensions was enriched mainly in the blue and red regions, compared to light transmitted through the photosynthetic tissue. The time course of photosynthetic starch formation in the leaves of V. vinifera detected by iodine staining showed that the accumulation of starch during the first minutes of illumination was high within photosynthetic parenchyma cells adjacent to the bundle sheath extensions. The data showed that bundle sheath extensions act as transparent ‘windows’ which enrich the neighbouring mesophyll areas with high levels of photosynthetically active radiation (400–700 nm). The phenomenon was more pronounced in the thick and compact sclerophyllous leaves of Q. coccifera by virtue of the greater abundance of bundle sheath extensions as compared to that in V. vinifera. The enhancement of the light micro‐environment within the deep internal layers of the mesophyll may affect the photosynthetic performance of such leaves, giving adaptive advantages. 相似文献

Mesophyll protoplasts and bundle sheath strands of maize ( Zea mays L.) leaves have been isolated by enzymatic digestion with cellulase. Mesophyll protoplasts, enzymatically released from maize leaf segments, were further purified by use of a polyethylene glycol-dextran liquid-liquid two phase system. Bundle sheath strands released from the leaf segments were isolated using filtration techniques. Light and electron microscopy show separation of the mesophyll cell protoplasts from bundle sheath strands. Two varieties of maize isolated mesophyll protoplasts had chlorophyll a/ b ratios of 3.1 and 3.3, whereas isolated bundle sheath strands had chlorophyll a/ b ratios of 6.2 and 6.6. Based on the chlorophyll a/ b ratios in mesophyll protoplasts, bundle sheath cells, and whole leaf extracts, approximately 60% of the chlorophyll in the maize leaves would be in mesophyll cells and 40% in bundle sheath cells. The purity of the preparations was also evident from the exclusive localization of phosphopyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) and NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1) in mesophyll cells and ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39), phosphoribulokinase (EC 2.7.1.19), and “malic enzyme” (EC 1.1.1.40) in bundle sheath cells. NADP-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.13) was found in both mesophyll and bundle sheath cells, while ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.6) was primarily found in bundle sheath cells. In comparison to the enzyme activities in the whole leaf extract, there was about 90% recovery of the mesophyll enzymes and 65% recovery of the bundle sheath enzymes in the cellular preparations. 相似文献

Images of chlorophyll fluorescence emitted at wavelengths above and below 700 nm were recorded from leaf sections of C 4 species using confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM). We investigated species exhibiting both NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) C 4 photosynthesis and NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) C 4 photosynthesis. Comparing LSM fluorescence of leaf sections with flow-cytometrically determined fluorescence from individual chloroplasts revealed that LSM fluorescence was distorted by the optical properties of leaf sections. Leaf section fluorescence, when corrected by transmission data derived from light transmission images, agreed with flow cytometry data. The corrected LSM fluorescence yielded information on the distribution of the individual photosystems in the C 4 leaf sections: PSII concentrations in bundle sheath cells were elevated in NAD-ME species but diminished in most of the NADP-ME species investigated. The NADP-ME species, Arundinella hirta, however, showed normal PSII and increased PSI concentration in bundle sheath chloroplasts. Finally, a gradient of PSI was observed within the bundle sheath cells from Euphorbia maculata. 相似文献

(1) The equilibrium constants for the redox reactions occurring between Photosystem (PS) I donors were measured on chloroplasts, dark-adapted in the presence of sodium ascorbate and 3-(3′,4′-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) and then illuminated by d.c. light. The equilibrium constant for the electron transfer between plastocyanin and P-700 is close to 1 and the overall equilibrium constant between cytochrome f and P-700 is about 2.3. As these equilibrium constants do not depend upon the intensity of the d.c. beam, the low values we measured cannot be due to kinetic limitations. (2) The equilibrium constants were measured also in the absence of DCMU using chloroplasts in oxidizing conditions (ferricyanide or far red illumination) illuminated by a saturating flash. During the course of the reduction of PS I donors by plastoquinol molecules formed by the flash, the equilibrium constants are higher than in the preceding conditions: the value for plastocyanin to P-700 is close to 5, and that for cytochrome f to P-700 is about 25. (3) The variations of these equilibrium constants are tentatively interpreted as being due to mutual electrostatic interactions between cytochrome b and f which are included in the same complex. This model implies that the perturbation of the redox properties of cytochrome f by a positive charge located on cytochrome b is identical to the perturbation of the redox properties of cytochrome b by a positive charge located on cytochrome f. 相似文献

In the presence of 0.1–5 μM N-methylphenazonium methosulphate approx. 50–70% oxidation of cytochrome b-559 can be induced by far-red light. The oxidation is best observed with long wavelength far-red light (732 nm) of moderate intensities (approx. 10 4 ergs/cm 2 per s) and is reversed by subsequent illumination with red light. Concentrations of N-methylphenazonium methosulphate above 5 μM are inhibitory probably due to cyclic electron flow. The far-red oxidation is inhibited by low concentrations of the plastoquinone antagonist 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl- p-benzoquinone, while 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea inhibits red light reduction and increases the amplitude of far-red oxidation. The effect of N-methylphenazonium methosulphate is mimicked by N-methyl-phenazonium ethosulphate, but not by pyocyanine or diaminodurene. Low concentrations (2–3 μM) of N-methylphenazonium methosulphate also stimulate a 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl- p-benzoquinone-inhibitable red light reduction of cytochrome f. 相似文献

The activity and extent of light activation of three photosynthetic enzymes, pyruvate,Pi dikinase, NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH), and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), were examined in maize ( Zea mays var Royal Crest) leaves relative to the rate of photosynthesis during induction and under varying light intensities. There was a strong light activation of NADP-MDH and pyruvate,Pi dikinase, and light also activated FBPase 2- to 4-fold. During the induction period for whole leaf photosynthesis at 30°C under high light, the time required to reach half-maximum activation for all three enzymes was only 1 minute or less. After 2.5 minutes of illumination the enzymes were fully activated, while the photosynthetic rate was only at half-maximum activity, indicating that factors other than enzyme activation limit photosynthesis during the induction period in C 4 plants. Under steady state conditions, the light intensity required to reach half-maximum activation of the three enzymes was similar (300-400 microEinsteins per square meter per second), while the light intensity required for half-maximum rates of photosynthesis was about 550 microEinsteins per square meter per second. The light activated levels of NADP-MDH and FBPase were well in excess of the in vivo activities which would be required during photosynthesis, while maximum activities of pyruvate,Pi dikinase were generally just sufficient to accommodate photosynthesis, suggesting the latter may be a rate limiting enzyme. There was a large (5-fold) light activation of FBPase in isolated bundle sheath strands of maize, whereas there was little light activation of the enzyme in isolated mesophyll protoplasts. In mesophyll protoplasts the enzyme was largely located in the cytoplasm, although there was a low amount of light-activated enzyme in the mesophyll chloroplasts. The results suggest the chloroplastic FBPase in maize is primarily located in the bundle sheath cells. 相似文献

1. Cytochrome f ( λmax = 554 nm, Em = +0.35 V) and cytochrome b558 ( λmax = 558 nm, Em = +0.35 V) were photooxidized by Photosystem I and photoreduced by Photosystem II in a cell-free preparation from the blue-green alga Nostoc muscorum. The steady-state oxidation levels of both cytochromes were affected by noncyclic electron acceptors and by inhibitors of noncyclic electron transport. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the mechanism of NADP reduction by water involves a Photosystem II and a Photosystem I light reaction operating in series and linked by a chain of electron carriers that includes cytochrome f and cytochrome b558.2. Phosphorylation cofactors shifted the steady-state of cytochrome f to a more reduced level under conditions of noncyclic electron transport but had no effect on cytochrome b558. These observations suggest that the noncyclic phosphorylation site lies before cytochrome f (on the Photosystem II side) and that cytochrome f is closer to this site than is cytochrome b558.3. A Photosystem II photoreduction of C550 at 77 °K was observed, suggesting that in blue-green algae, as in other plants, C550 is closely associated with the primary electron acceptor for Photosystem II. A Photosystem I photooxidation of P700 at 77 °K was observed, consistent with P700 serving as the primary electron donor of Photosystem I. 相似文献

Partial photochemical activities and concentrations of electron carriers were measured relative to chlorophyll in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) thylakoids, isolated from primary leaves during ontogeny and senescence. Thylakoids from mature leaves generated somewhat higher quantum efficiencies than thylakoids from premature or senescing leaves; this phenomenon did not appear to be caused by any deficiency of water-splitting enzyme. Under conditions of saturating light, the noncyclic electron flux from water to the reducing side of photosystem I increased during leaf ontogeny, peaked at maturity, and declined during senescence. However, electron fluxes appeared to be limited at different steps before and after leaf maturity. Before leaf maturity, the rate-limiting step was located prior to the reoxidation of plastohydroquinone. After leaf maturity, the decline in noncyclic electron flux correlated with a decrease in the concentration of cytochromes f and b6. This correlation, together with a consideration of mechanisms of entry and exit of electrons in 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea-treated thylakoids, suggests that the cytochrome f/b6-containing complex, and not plastocyanin or P700, is the site of entry of electrons from the reduced forms of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and diaminodurene. It is therefore proposed that in senescing leaves the cytochrome f/b6-containing complex limited electron transport by constraining the rate of reduction of cytochrome f by plastohydroquinone. 相似文献

The functional pool size of electrons in the intersystem chainof the chloroplasts of maize was estimated to be about 25 perP700 by the redox change in P700 with single- and multiple-turnoverlights under far-red light in intact leaves. This is about twicethe pool size observed in C 3 plants. Furthermore, the stromalpool size of electrons that can be donated to P700 + after actinicillumination was larger in maize leaves than in leaves of C 3plants, giving a maximum value of 225 electrons per P700. Maizeleaves showed an increase in the yield of modulated Chl fluorescenceafter turning off of actinic light, which confirms the donationof electrons in the dark to the intersystem chain from the stromaldonors that accumulated during actinic illumination. We proposethat the mesophyll chloroplasts are responsible for a high levelof electron-donating activity to the intersystem chain fromstromal donors such as triose phosphates and malate with NADPHas an intermediate. The level of P700 + under strong far-redlight was decreased after actinic illumination, suggesting theoperation of an actinic light-triggered cyclic electron flowin chloroplasts of the bundle sheath cells.

The organization of the electron transport components in mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts of Zea mays was investigated. Grana-containing mesophyll chloroplasts (chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b ratio of about 3.0) possessed the full complement of the various electron transport components, comparable to chloroplasts from C 3 plants. Agranal bundle sheath chloroplasts ( ) contained the full complement of photosystem (PS) I and of cytochrome (cyt) f but lacked a major portion of PS II and its associated Chl light-harvesting complex (LHC), and most of the cyt b559. The kinetic analysis of system I photoactivity revealed that the functional photosynthetic unit size of PS I was unchanged and identical in mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts. The results suggest that PS I is contained in stroma-exposed thylakoids and that it does not receive excitation energy from the Chl LHC present in the grana. A stoichiometric parity between PS I and cyt f in mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts indicates that biosynthetic and functional properties of cyt f and P 700 are closely coordinated. Thus, it is likely that both cyt f and P 700 are located in the membrane of the intergrana thylakoids only. The kinetic analysis of PS II photoactivity revealed the absence of PS II αfrom the bundle sheath chloroplasts and helped identify the small complement of system II in bundle sheath chloroplasts as PS II β. The distribution of the main electron transport components in grana and stroma thylakoids is presented in a model of the higher plant chloroplast membrane system. 相似文献

The light-dependent control of photosynthetic electron transport from plastoquinol (PQH 2) through the cytochrome b6f complex (Cyt b6f) to plastocyanin (PC) and P700 (the donor pigment of Photosystem I, PSI) was investigated in laboratory-grown Helianthus annuus L., Nicotiana tabaccum L., and naturally-grown Solidago virgaurea L., Betula pendula Roth, and Tilia cordata P. Mill. leaves. Steady-state illumination was interrupted (light-dark transient) or a high-intensity 10 ms light pulse was applied to reduce PQ and oxidise PC and P700 (pulse-dark transient) and the following re-reduction of P700 + and PC + was recorded as leaf transmission measured differentially at 810-950 nm. The signal was deconvoluted into PC + and P700 + components by oxidative (far-red) titration (V. Oja et al., Photosynth. Res. 78 (2003) 1-15) and the PSI density was determined by reductive titration using single-turnover flashes (V. Oja et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1658 (2004) 225-234). These innovations allowed the definition of the full light response curves of electron transport rate through Cyt b6f to the PSI donors. A significant down-regulation of Cyt b6f maximum turnover rate was discovered at low light intensities, which relaxed at medium light intensities, and strengthened again at saturating irradiances. We explain the low-light regulation of Cyt b6f in terms of inactivation of carbon reduction cycle enzymes which increases flux resistance. Cyclic electron transport around PSI was measured as the difference between PSI electron transport (determined from the light-dark transient) and PSII electron transport determined from chlorophyll fluorescence. Cyclic e − transport was not detected at limiting light intensities. At saturating light the cyclic electron transport was present in some, but not all, leaves. We explain variations in the magnitude of cyclic electron flow around PSI as resulting from the variable rate of non-photosynthetic ATP-consuming processes in the chloroplast, not as a principle process that corrects imbalances in ATP/NADPH stoichiometry during photosynthesis. 相似文献

Mesophyll cells and bundle sheath strands were isolated from Cyperus rotundus L. leaf sections infiltrated with a mixture of cellulase and pectinase followed by a gentle mortar and pestle grind. The leaf suspension was filtered through a filter assembly and mesophyll cells and bundle sheath strands were collected on 20-μm and 80-μm nylon nets, respectively. For the isolation of leaf epidermal strips longer leaf cross sections were incubated with the enzymes and gently ground as above. Loosely attached epidermal strips were peeled off with forceps. The upper epidermis, which lacks stomata, could be clearly distinguished from the lower epidermis which contains stomata. Microscopic evidence for identification and assessment of purity is provided for each isolated tissue.Enzymes related to the C 4-dicarboxylic acid cycle such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, malate dehydrogenase (NADP +), pyruvate, P i dikinase were found to be localized, ≥98%, in mesophyll cells. Enzymes related to operating the reductive pentose phosphate cycle such as RuDP carboxylase, phosphoribulose kinase, and malic enzyme are distributed, ≥99%, in bundle sheath strands. Other photosynthetic enzymes such as aspartate aminotransferase, pyrophosphatase, adenylate kinase, and glyceraldehyde 3- P dehydrogenase (NADP +) are quite active in both mesophyll and bundle sheath tissues.Enzymes involved in photorespiration such as RuDP oxygenase, catalase, glycolate oxidase, hydroxypyruvate reductase (NAD +), and phosphoglycolate phosphatase are preferentially localized, ≥84%, in bundle sheath strands.Nitrate and nitrite reductase can be found only in mesophyll cells, while glutamate dehydrogenase is present, ≥96%, in bundle sheath strands.Starch- and sucrose-synthesizing enzymes are about equally distributed between the mesophyll and bundle sheath tissues, except that the less active phosphorylase was found mainly in bundle sheath strands. Fructose-1,6-diP aldolase, which is a key enzyme in photosynthesis and glycolysis leading to sucrose and starch synthesis, is localized, ≥90%, in bundle sheath strands. The glycolytic enzymes, phosphoglyceromutase and enolase, have the highest activity in mesophyll cells, while the mitochondrial enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase, is more active in bundle sheath strands.The distribution of total nutsedge leaf chlorophyll, protein, and PEP carboxylase activity, using the resolved leaf components, is presented. 14CO 2 Fixation experiments with the intact nutsedge leaves and isolated mesophyll and bundle sheath tissues show that complete C 4 photosynthesis is compartmentalized into mesophyll CO 2 fixation via PEP carboxylase and bundle sheath CO 2 fixation via RuDP carboxylase. These results were used to support the proposed pathway of carbon assimilation in C 4-dicarboxylic acid photosynthesis and to discuss the individual metabolic characteristics of intact mesophyll cells, bundle sheath cells, and epidermal tissues. 相似文献

Summary After illumination intact leaves of Zea mays contain sucrose and starch. The latter is located mainly in the bundle sheath cells. When 0.5 mm wide leaf strips are incubated with sucrose solution, the starch deposit in the bundle-sheath chloroplasts is greatly increased by light. When isolated bundle sheath cells are suspended in water or solutions of sucrose and various metabolites they are not capable of synthesizing starch. An appreciable production of starch in the chloroplasts of isolated bundle sheath cells can be observed only in the presence of glucose-1-phosphate. 相似文献

A modified fluorescence microscope system was used to measure chlorophyll fluorescence and delayed light emission from mesophyll and bundle sheath cells in situ in fresh-cut sections from leaves of Panicum miliaceum L. The fluorescence rise in 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU)-treated leaves and the slow fluorescence kinetics in untreated leaves show that mesophyll chloroplasts have larger photosystem II unit sizes than do bundle sheath chloroplasts. The larger photosystem II units imply more efficient noncyclic electron transport in mesophyll chloroplasts. Quenching of slow fluorescence also differs between the cell types with mesophyll chloroplasts showing complex kinetics and bundle sheath chloroplasts showing a relatively simple decline. Properties of the photosynthetic system were also investigated in leaves from plants grown in soil containing elevated NaCl levels. As judged by changes in both fluorescence kinetics in DCMU-treated leaves and delayed light emission in leaves not exposed to DCMU, salinity altered photosystem II in bundle sheath cells but not in mesophyll cells. This result may indicate different ionic distributions in the two cell types or, alternatively, different responses of the two chloroplast types to environmental change. 相似文献

Leaves of maize ( Zea mays L.) and sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) were enclosed in an illuminated chamber in air for 30 min after which time 14CO 2 was released into the chamber. Two min after the 14CO 2 was released, the leaves were removed from the chamber, and small sections were cut from them. The sections were put in small wire baskets and frozen in isopentane cooled by liquid nitrogen. Approximately 1.5 min elapsed from the removal of the leaf from the illuminated chamber until the tissue was frozen. The tissue was freeze-dried, embedded in paraffin and the cellular location of the isotopic activity was determined by radiography of leaf cross sections. Isotopic activity in maize leaves was localized in bundle sheath parenchyma. In contrast, the label in sugar beet leaves was generally distributed in the mesophyll cells. The bundle sheath cells in maize contain specialized chloroplasts which appear to have a unique capacity to incorporate CO 2. Translocation from leaves of maize was 3-fold as rapid as from sugar beet leaves in the same environment. Low light intensity did not alter the distribution pattern of fixed CO 2. 相似文献

The development of photochemical activities in isolated barley plastids during illumination of dark-grown plants has been studied and compared with the behaviour of plastocyanin, cytochromes f, b-559 LP, b-563 and b-559 HP and pigments P546 (C550) and P700. Electron-transport activity dependent on Photosystem 1 and cyclic photophosphorylation dependent on N-methylphenazonium methosulphate (phenazine methosulphate) were very active relative to the chlorophyll content after only a few minutes of illumination of etiolated leaves, and then rapidly declined during the first few hours of greening. By contrast, Photosystem 2 activity (measured with ferricyanide as electron acceptor) and non-cyclic photophosphorylation were not detectable during the first 2½h of greening, but then increased in total amount in parallel with chlorophyll. The behaviour of the electron carriers suggested their association with either Photosystem 1 or 2 respectively. In the first group were plastocyanin, cytochrome f and cytochrome b-563, whose concentrations in the leaf did not change during greening, and cytochrome b-559 LP whose concentration fell to one-half its original value, and in the second group were cytochrome b-559 HP and pigment P546, the concentrations of which closely followed the activities of Photosystem 2. Pigment P700 could not be detected during the first hour, during which time some other form of chlorophyll may take its place in the reaction centre of Photosystem 1. The plastids started to develop grana at about the time that Photosystem 2 activity became detectable. 相似文献

1. 1. The kinetics of light-induced absorbance changes due to oxidation and reduction of cytochromes were measured in a suspension of intact cells of the unicellular red alga Porphyridium aerugineum. Absorbance changes in the region 540–570 nm upon alternating far-red light and darkness indicated the oxidation of cytochrome ƒ and reduction of cytochrome b563 upon illumination. The relative efficiencies of far-red and orange light indicated that both reactions were driven by Photosystem I. 2. 2. Experiments with 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU), with anaerobic cells and in alternating far-red and orange light indicated that cytochrome b563 reacts in a cyclic chain around Photosystem I, and that the reduced cytochrome does not react with oxygen or with another oxidized product of Photosystem II. The quantum requirement for the photoreduction was about 6 quanta/equiv at 700 nm. A low concentration of N-methylphenazonium methosulphate (PMS) enhanced the rate of reoxidation of cytochrome b563 in the dark. In the presence of higher concentrations of PMS a photooxidation, driven by Photosystem I, instead of reduction was observed. These observations suggest that PMS enhances the rate of reactions between reduced cytochrome b563 and oxidized products of Photosystem I. 3. 3. In the presence of carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) a light-induced decrease of absorption at 560 nm occurred. Spectral evidence suggested the photooxidation of cytochrome b559 under these conditions. Inhibition by DCMU and a relatively efficient action of orange light suggested that this photooxidation is driven by Photosystem II.
