A photoacoustic study of water infiltrated leaves 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Photoacoustic measurements of photosynthetic energy storage were conducted on water infiltrated pea and sugar maple leaves. The samples were vacuum infiltrated with pure water or with a suitable buffer. The use of such methodology permitted an accurate determination of the energy storage parameter at low modulation frequencies, where in non-infiltrated leaves oxygen evolution dominates the photoacoustic signal and does not allow energy storage measurements. Differences between infiltration media were not essential, however the use of pure water as infiltration medium sometimes caused instability of the measured energy storage, particularly at longer experimental time. Values of energy storage in individual samples ranged mostly between 0.2 to 0.35. Measured as a function of the modulation frequency, energy storage was found to be constant from about 10 to 200 Hz for pea leaves. In sugar maple leaves, the energy storage slightly increased between 100 and 500 Hz. Obtaining an accurate value for energy storage also allowed an accurate estimation of the O2 evolution contribution to the photoacoustic signal of an unfiltrated leaf. In a maple leaf its frequency dependence showed only the effect of diffusion in the entire frequency range (10–500 Hz). Energy storage transients were observed after long periods (ca. 1/4-2 hrs) of dark adaptation upon the transition to light. In this case the initial energy storage was roughly about 1/2 that of the steady state value indicating strong PS I activity, while PS II was transiently incompetent. Energy-storage increased during illumination in a way to correspond to photosynthetic induction events as previously measured by fluorescence and O2 evolution. Transients in energy storage were also found following high light to low light transitions (i.e., switch off of the saturating background light), that paralleled similar transients in oxygen evolution, showing initial transient inactivation followed by progressive reactivation of PS II.Abbreviations ES

Sulfite treatment of pea leaf disks in light caused a significant decrease in the relative quantum yield of photosynthetic oxygen evolution and energy storage (ES) as measured by photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy. The inhibition was concentration dependent and was less in darkness than in light, indicating light-dependent inhibitory site(s) on the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Further, in darksulfite-treated leaves, the energy storage was more affected than the relative quantum yield of oxygen evolution, suggesting that photophosphorylation and/or cyclic electron transport around PS I are sites of sulfite action in darkness. The Rfd values, the ratio of fluorescence decrease (fd) to the steady-state fluorescence (fs), decreased significantly in leaves treated with sulfite in light but were not affected in dark-treated ones, confirming the photoacoustic observations. Similarly, the ratio of variable fluorescence (Fv) to maximum fluorescence (Fm), a measure of PS II photochemical efficiency, was affected by sulfite treatment in light and not changed by treatment in darkness. An attempt was made to explain the mechanism of sulfite action on photosynthetic electron transport in light and in darkness.Abbreviations APT

We have measured simultaneously the photothermal radiometry and the photoacoustic signals from intact leaves. We have confirmed that while the former senses that part of the modulated absorbed radiation not used in photosynthesis, but converted into heat, the latter, at low modulation frequencies, senses not only this heat but also the modulated oxygen evolution resulting from photosynthesis in the leaf. When photosynthetic activity is saturated upon additional excitation with strong non-modulated light, the photothermal radiometry signal increases (virtually all absorbed modulated light being converted into heat), while at the same time the photoacoustic signal decreases, because virtually no modulated oxygen evolution occurs any more. At higher modulation frequencies the behaviour of the photoacoustic signal closely follows that of the photothermal radiometry signal. We have used combined photothermal radiometry / photoacoustic measurements to estimate directly the yield of chemical energy storage in various plant species which applies for different times after excitation. Measurement of light saturation curves for wheat and Siberian pea bush leaves and of action spectra for the latter confirm the similarity between photothermal radiometry and high-frequency photoacoustic signals, and their difference from the low-frequency photoacoustic signal. Combined use of photothermal radiometry (or high-frequency photoacoustics) and low-frequency photoacoustics can thus provide more information than any one method alone. Experiments on intact chloroplasts and on a blue-green alga demonstrate that photothermal radiometry and photoacoustic methodologies can also be used for these tissues. 相似文献

Short-term responses of Photosystem I to heat stress 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Michel Havaux 《Photosynthesis research》1996,47(1):85-97
When 23°C-grown potato leaves (Solanum tuberosum L.) were exposed for 15 min to elevated temperatures in weak light, a dramatic and preferential inactivation of Photosystem (PS) II was observed at temperatures higher than about 38°C. In vivo photoacoustic measurements indicated that, concomitantly with the loss of PS II activity, heat stress induced a marked gas-uptake activity both in far-red light (>715 nm) exciting only PS I and in broadband light (350–600 nm) exciting PS I and PS II. In view of its suppression by nitrogen gas and oxygen and its stimulation by high carbon-dioxide concentrations, the bulk of the photoacoustically measured gas uptake by heat-stressed leaves was ascribed to rapid carbon-dioxide solubilization in response to light-modulated stroma alkalization coupled to PS I-driven electron transport. Heat-induced gas uptake was observed to be insensitive to the PS II inhibitor diuron, sensitive to the plastocyanin inhibitor HgCl2 and saturated at a rather high photon flux density of around 1200 E m–2 s–1. Upon transition from far-red light to darkness, the oxidized reaction center P700+ of PS I was re-reduced very slowly in control leaves (with a half time t1/2 higher than 500 ms), as measured by leaf absorbance changes at around 820 nm. Heat stress caused a spectacular acceleration of the postillumination P700+ reduction, with t1/2 falling to a value lower than 50 ms (after leaf exposure to 48°C). The decreased t1/2 was sensitive to HgCl2 and insensitive to diuron, methyl viologen (an electron acceptor of PS I competing with the endogenous acceptor ferredoxin) and anaerobiosis. This acceleration of the P700+ reduction was very rapidly induced by heat treatment (within less than 5 min) and persisted even after prolonged irradiation of the leaves with far-red light. After heat stress, the plastoquinone pool exhibited reduction in darkness as indicated by the increase in the apparent Fo level of chlorophyll fluorescence which could be quenched by far-red light. Application (for 1 min) of far-red light to heat-pretreated leaves also induced a reversible quenching of the maximal fluorescence level Fm, suggesting formation of a pH gradient in far-red light. Taken together, the presented data indicate that PS I responded to the heat-induced loss of PS II photochemical activity by catalyzing an electron flow from stromal reductants. Heat-stress-induced PS I electron transport independent of PS II seems to constitute a protective mechanism since block of this electron pathway in anaerobiosis was observed to result in a dramatic photoinactivation of PS I.Abbreviations PFD

The oxygen evolution, thermal dissipation, and photochemical energy storage of three hybrid poplar clones, namely the triploid clone B342, the diploid clone B11[( Populus alba×P. glandulosa)×(P.tomentosa×P.bolleana)] , and the triploid clone B346 [ (P.tomentosa×P. bolleana)×(P. alba×P.glandulosa )], under light stress were studied using photoacoustics. The oxygen evolution signal and photochemical energy storage varied negatively with the pretreatment-PFD (photon flux density), whereas the thermal signal varied positively with the pretreatment-PFD. Photochemical energy storage was reallocated to PSⅡ more than to PSⅠ, while the photochemical energy storage in PSⅠ was more stable than that in PSⅡ when subjected to light stress. The inhibitors streptomycin (SM), dithiothreitol (DTT) and sodium fluoride (NaF) could all affect the oxygen evolution signal. Clones B11 and B342 were more resistant to light stress than clone B346. 相似文献

Oxygen uptake by tobacco leaves after heat shock 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Abstract Small discs punched out from leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were exposed for 3 min in the dark to a high temperature of around 48°C. This caused a progressive inhibition of the gas-exchange (oxygen evolution) type photoacoustic signal, resulting- finally in phase inversion (i.e. leading to negative values), which indicates that oxygen uptake replaces the normal oxygen evolution. This effect was also observed in various other plant species. Oxygen uptake was rapidly reversed (within ca. 4–5 min) to a certain low value of oxygen evolution (about 20% of the control) by continuous illumination with relatively strong white light (minimum 55 W m?2). However, a few minutes in darkness following this heat treatment induced reappearence of the uptake signal. This photoacoustically detected oxygen uptake after heat shock may be interpreted as reflecting stimulated oxygen photoreduction (Mehler reaction) caused by (light dependent) inactivation of the Calvin cycle by heat, suggesting that oxygen may act as a major photosynthetic electron acceptor under stress conditions. Leaves suffering from such heat shock effects were completely restored to normal behaviour after a 24-h incubation at room temperature (25 °C). Analysis of the modulation frequency and wavelength dependence of the photoacoustic signals showed that heat shock-induced oxygen uptake is a very complex phenomenon, composed of at least two components differing in kinetics and sensitivity to DCMU. 相似文献

Inhibition of photosynthetic activities under slow water stress measured in vivo by the photoacoustic method 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A slow water stress over several days was imposed on tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Xanthi) by withholding water from the soil. Photosynthesis was measured in leaves from those water-stressed plants by the photoacoustic method. Slow drought induced marked changes in the photoacoustic signals, which were largely similar to those observed previously in leaves subjected to rapid desiccation in air (over 3–4 h), reflecting two simultaneous changes: 1) Modification of the heat and oxygen diffusion characteristics of the leaves due to changes in their anatomical structure [shown by the change in the slope of the plot of the oxygen (AOX) to photothermal signal (APT) ratio vs the square root of the modulation frequency]; 2) Inhibition of gross photosynthesis measured by the extrapolation of the AOX/APT ratio to zero frequency. However, in contrast to rapid water stress in detached leaves, where it was shown that mainly the oxidizing side of photosystem II (PS II) was damaged, we found a slower and more complex phenomenology having largely biphasic kinetics. During the first 6 days, there was a strong reduction in the photochemical energy storage, but the inhibition of oxygen evolution was relatively mild. The Emerson enhancement in state 1 dropped considerably, indicating lowering of the apparent absorption cross-section of PS II. Fluorescence measurements suggest that PS II reaction center itseIf may be the primary site of the damage. PS I activity, judged by cytochrome f photooxidation, remained largely intact. The subsequent days were associated with a further spectacular decrease in the oxygen evolution quantum yield with both photosystems damaged. The photochemical energy storage continued to decrease further. The Emerson enhancement ratio of the remaining activities in both State 1 and 2 showed a marked increase, indicating the reestablishment of a strong imbalance in the distribution of excitation energy within the photochemical apparatus in favor of PS II. All the photoacoustic changes observed in response to drought were completely reversible within 2–3 days upon rewatering of the soil. 相似文献

The photosynthetic and photoacoustic properties of leaf samples were studied using a photoacoustic system modified for precise temperature control. Data were collected over a temperature range of −10 °C to +60 °C. A distinct acoustic noise transient marked the freezing temperature of the samples. A positive absorption transient and a brief period of oxygen uptake marked the thermal denaturing temperature of the samples. Between these extremes, the effects of temperature on light absorption, oxygen evolution, and photochemical energy storage were quantified quickly and easily. Oxygen evolution could be measured as low as −5 °C and showed a broad temperature peak that was 10 °C lower under limiting light intensity than under saturating light intensity. Photochemical energy storage showed a narrower temperature peak that was only slightly lower for limiting light intensities than for saturating light intensities. In a survey of diverse plants, temperature response curves for oxygen evolution were determined readily for a variety of leaf types, including ferns and conifer needles. These results demonstrate that temperature-controlled photoacoustics can be useful for rapid assessment of temperature effects on photosynthesis and other leaf properties. 相似文献

Detection of photosynthetic energy storage in a photosystem I reaction center preparation by photoacoustic spectroscopy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Thermal emission and photochemical energy storage were examined in photosystem I reaction center/core antenna complexes (about 40 Chl a/P700) using photoacoustic spectroscopy. Satisfactory signals could only be obtained from samples bound to hydroxyapatite and all samples had a low signal-to-noise ratio compared to either PS I or PS II in thylakoid membranes. The energy storage signal was saturated at low intensity (half saturation at 1.5 W m-2) and predicted a photochemical quantum yield of >90%. Exogenous donors and acceptors had no effect on the signal amplitudes indicating that energy storage is the result of charge separation between endogenous components. Fe(CN)6
-3 oxidation of P700 and dithionite-induced reduction of acceptors FA-FB inhibited energy storage. These data are compatible with the hypothesis that energy storage in PS I arises from charge separation between P700 and Fe-S centers FA-FB that is stable on the time scale of the photoacoustic modulation. High intensity background light (160 W m-2) caused an irreversible loss of energy storage and correlated with a decrease in oxidizable P700; both are probably the result of high light-induced photoinhibition. By analogy to the low fluorescence yield of PS I, the low signal-to-noise ratio in these preparations is attributed to the short lifetime of Chl singlet excited states in PS I-40 and its indirect effect on the yield of thermal emission.Abbreviations FFT

Tolerance to photoinhibition was compared between a paraquat-resistant and a sensitive biotype of Conyza bonariensis (L.). Cronq. Photoinhibitory damage was measured as a decrease in oxygen evolution or energy storage using photoacoustic spectroscopy, or as a decrease of 14CO2-fixation. Prior to exposure to high fluence rates, both biotypes had similar quantum yields of oxygen evolution and energy storage. After exposure to high intensity light, the resistant biotype continued to evolve oxygen and to store energy with a high quantum yield while both energy storage and oxygen evolution were severely reduced in the sensitive biotype. CO2-fixation was less rapidly inhibited in the resistant biotype compared to the sensitive one. The data show that the paraquat resistant biotype with its high constitutive levels of the chloroplast localized enzymes of the oxygen detoxification pathway, is also partially protected from photoinhibition. This supports the theory that an enhanced radical scavenging system can give temporary protection against photooxidative damage from a variety of sources. 相似文献

Oxygen evolution and energy storage yields in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) wild-type (cv. John Williams Broadleaf) and a mutant (Su/su) deficient in chlorophyll were compared using the photoacoustic technique. Oxygen-evolution and energy-storage quantum yields in the mutant were higher when measured in red light (640–690 nm) than green or blue light (540 nm and 440 nm, respectively), indicating that carotenoids in this mutant do not transfer energy efficiently to the photochemical reaction centers. It is suggested that carotenoids may play a role in protecting the photosynthetic apparatus against damage by high energy fluxes. In the wild-type, the oxygenevolution yield did not change drastically throughout the visible spectrum. The mutant had a higher quantum yield of oxygen evolution than the wildtype. Similarly maximum rates obtained from saturation curves for the mutant were more than twice higher per leaf area and about five times higher per chlorophyll, as compared to the wild-type.Abbreviation PS

The relative activity of Photosystems (PS) I and II in the spectral range between 400 and 720 nm was studied by measuring photosynthetic energy storage (ES) of an intact sugar maple leaf using photoacoustic spectroscopy. ES, determined with a modulated (80 Hz) monochromatic light beam in the presence of saturating intensity of background non-modulated white light, indicated the total energy stored by both photosystems (EST). Using background far-red light, ES of PS I (ESPS I) was quantified. ESPS II was derived from EST-ESPS I. EST dependence on intensity and wavelength of modulated light was studied at 470, 560, 640 and 680 nm. EST was maximum in red light and minimum in blue light. It decreased with an increase in modulated light intensity. The ratio ESPS II/ESPS I, measured at 640 nm, remained nearly constant with an increase in modulated light intensity. The relative quantum yield of EST spectrum showed two peaks around 610 and 660 nm, and declined sharply after 680 nm, revealing a clear red drop. ESPS I spectrum presented peaks around 610 and 670 nm, and a minimum between 440 and 470 nm. ESPS I was observed beyond 700 nm up to 720 nm, indicating the energy stored by cyclic electron transport. ESPS II spectrum showed broad peaks, around 460, 490, 600 and 660 nm, and a shoulder between 530 and 560 nm. ESPS II was always higher than ESPS I between 400 and 690 nm and reached zero around 700 nm.Abbreviations ES

Cyclic electron flow around photosystem (PS) I has been widely described in vitro in chloroplasts or thylakoids isolated from C(3) plant leaves, but its occurrence in vivo is still a matter of debate. Photoacoustic spectroscopy and kinetic spectrophotometry were used to analyze cyclic PS I activity in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Petit Havana) leaf discs illuminated with far-red light. Only a very weak activity was measured in air with both techniques. When leaf discs were placed in anaerobiosis, a high and rapid cyclic PS I activity was measured. The maximal energy storage in far-red light increased to 30% to 50%, and the half-time of the P(700) re-reduction in the dark decreased to around 400 ms; these values are comparable with those measured in cyanobacteria and C(4) plant leaves in aerobiosis. The stimulatory effect of anaerobiosis was mimicked by infiltrating leaves with inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration or of the chlororespiratory oxidase, therefore, showing that changes in the redox state of intersystem electron carriers tightly control the rate of PS I-driven cyclic electron flow in vivo. Measurements of energy storage at different modulation frequencies of far-red light showed that anaerobiosis-induced cyclic PS I activity in leaves of a tobacco mutant deficient in the plastid Ndh complex was kinetically different from that of the wild type, the cycle being slower in the former leaves. We conclude that the Ndh complex is required for rapid electron cycling around PS I. 相似文献

Using a photoacoustic technique it has been possible to observe fast oxygen evolution and uptake transients at a high time resolution (approx. 0.2 s), when a dark-adapted leaf is reilluminated. There is initially a rapid pulse of oxygen evolution, correlated with the initial fluorescence rise (total duration under the experimental conditions used about 1–2 s), corresponding presumably to the photoreduction of the plastoquinone pool. This phenomenon may be utilized to calibrate the oxygen-evolution photoacoustic signal. The first pulse is followed by a series of slower bursts of oxygen uptake and evolution, reflecting various pools which are expressed following sequential activation of various parts of the photosynthetic apparatus, until achievement of a steady state.Abbreviations and symbols RuBP

Heat emitted during non-radiative de-excitation was determined in vivo by the photoacoustic method. The dependence of the photoacoustic signal on the length of the pulses (modulation frequency) of the excitation light and the effect of continuous light, which saturates photosynthesis but does not directly contribute to the signal, are described. The induction kinetic of heat emission measured with intact leaves differed only slightly from the induction kinetic of fluorescence (Kautsky effect) detected in parallel. The photoacoustic signal at high modulation frequencies (279 Hz), which represents the signal of heat emission, and the photoacoustic signal at low modulation frequencies (17 Hz), interpreted as a signal of pulsed oxygen evolution superimposed on the heat emission, were measured with leaves before and after photoinhibition. It was demonstrated that after photoinhibition the decrease in fluorescence yield and in photosynthetic activity (here detected as photoacoustic signal at 17 Hz) are paralleled by an increase in the yield of non-radiative deexcitation (photoacoustic signal at 279 Hz). The increase of heat emission, which has been hypothized for photoinhibited leaves, could now be proved by measuring the induction kinetics of the photoacoustic signal. 相似文献

The photoacoustic technique was used to monitor thermal deexcitation of the photosynthetic pigments in intact pea leaves (Pisum sativum L.) submitted to photoinhibitory treatments. When the leaves were exposed to photon flux densities above 1000 micromoles per square meter per second, the amplitude of the photothermal component of the in vivo photoacoustic signal strongly increased. This high-light-induced stimulation of nonradiative energy dissipation (heat emission) was accompanied by an inverse change in the O2 evolution activity and in the steady state emission of 685 nanometer chlorophyll fluorescence. The time course of these effects was shown to be very rapid, with a t1/2 of around 15 minutes. When high-light-treated leaves were readapted to the dark, the heat emission changes were reversed, following somewhat slower kinetics. A reversible increase in the rate of light energy dissipation via radiationless transitions could be a photoprotective mechanism eliminating excess excitation energy from the photosynthetic reaction centers. Interestingly, this process does not operate at temperatures below about 12°C. 相似文献

The photoacoustic signal from an intact leaf was analyzed as a vectorial summation of photothermal and photosynthetic oxygen-evolution contributions. A method is outlined to estimate each contribution separately. The amplitude of the oxygen-evolution component relative to that of the photothermal singnal decreases as the modulation frequency increases due to two processes which specifically damp the oxygen-evolution modulation: (1) diffusion of oxygen from the chloroplasts to the cell boundary, and (2) electron-transfer reactions occurring between the photochemical act and oxygen evolution. The effects of the two processes are well separated and are observed over different ranges of modulation frequency. Analysis of the data leads to a consistent estimation of the oxygen diffusion coefficient and also to a preliminary idea on the limiting time constant on the donor side of Photosystem II. The dependence of the photoacoustic oxygen-evolution signal on the intensity of added nonmodulated background light is used to construct the light saturation curve of (gross) Photsynthesis, with an estimation of the ratio maximal rate / maximal quantum yield. The photoacoustic method is distinguished by its sensitivity and rapidity (a single measurement takes approx. 1 s), far better than any other method to measure gross photosynthesis. The only disadvantage is in the fact that the quantum yield of oxygen evolution is determined in a relative basis only. Attempts to calibrate the photoacoustic measurements in an absolute sense are underway. 相似文献

The photosynthetic characteristics of leaves of atrazine-resistant and-susceptible biotypes of several weed species (Solanum nigrum, Senecio vulgaris, Epilobium ciliatum and Chenopodium album) were compared using the photoacoustic method. Analysis of the dependence of the photoacoustic signal of the modulation frequency indicated that, in Solanum, Epilobium and Senecio, the relative quantum yield of O2 evolution (estimated by the ratio of the amplitude of the O2 signal, AOX, to that of the photothermal signal, APT) was substantially reduced in the atrazine-resistant mutant, without any changes in the O2 diffusion characteristics of the leaves. In contrast, in Chenopodium, atrazine-resistance was associated with a concomitant change in and in the leaf diffusion parameters. This latter change suggests that the leaf internal anatomy was modified in the resistant Chenopodium. Measurements of the Emerson enhancement indicated that the reduction of observed in the atrazine-resistant mutants was caused by a marked decrease in the photochemical potential of PS II (). The study of the light intensity dependence of the AOX/APT ratio showed that saturation of O2 evolution occurred at the same light level (around 2000 mol m-2 s-1) in both types of plants. However, the relative maximal rate of O2 evolution was slightly lower (-10%) in the atrazine-resistant biotype as compared to the wild type. Reduced and light-saturated rate of O2 evolution were also measured in atrazine-resistant weed biotypes using a conventional Clark-type O2 electrode.Abbreviations AOX

The effect of leaf desiccation on the photosynthetic activities in vivo was probed by the photoacoustic method. The aim of this research was: (a) To study the photoacoustic signal per se in varied conditions in order to develop this tool as a probe for stress conditions in vivo. (b) To obtain results pertaining to electron transport activities in vivo, and confirm conclusions based on work with isolated chloroplasts, which could otherwise be the result of nonspecific damage occurring during their isolation. Leaf discs from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were routinely used, with other species tested also for comparison. Rapid leaf desiccation caused changes in the low frequency photoacoustic signal, attributed both to the mechanism of signal transduction, influenced by changes in the structural parameters of the leaf, and to the direct (nonstomatal) inhibition of gross photosynthesis. The dependence of the photothermal part of the signal on the frequency indicated the presence of two photothermal components, one of which persisted only at low modulation frequencies (below about 100 Hz) and which largely increased with the desiccation treatment. This component was ascribed to a thermal wave which reaches the leaf surface. The other nonvariable photothermal component was ascribed to a thermal wave propagating from the chloroplasts to the surface of the mesophyll cell. Only this component is considered in the ratio of the O2 signal to the photothermal signal, which is used to estimate the quantum yield of photosynthesis. The specific dependence of the latter ratio on the frequency yielded a comparative quantum yield parameter from its extrapolation to zero frequency, and also indicated stress induced changes in the diffusion of O2 through the mesophyll cell, reflected by changes in its characteristic slope. The (zero frequency extrapolated) quantum yield was markedly reduced with the progression of the water stress, indicating the inhibition of (gross) phototosynthetic electron transport in vivo. This result was expressed even more emphatically by the stronger inhibition of the photochemical energy storage, obtained by photoacoustic measurements at a high modulation frequency. 相似文献
