The non-bilayer lipid monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is the most abundant type of lipid in the thylakoid membrane and
plays an important role in regulating the structure and function of photosynthetic membrane proteins. In this study, we have
reconstituted the isolated major light-harvesting complexes of photosystem II (PSII) (LHCIIb) and a preparation consisting
of PSII core complexes and minor LHCII of PSII (PSIICC) into liposomes that consisted of digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG),
sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG), with or without MGDG. Transmission electron microscopy
and freeze-fracture studies showed unilamellar proteoliposomes, and demonstrated that most of the MGDG is incorporated into
bilayer structures. The impact of MGDG on the functional interaction between LHCIIb and PSIICC was investigated by low temperature
(77 K) fluorescence emission spectra and the photochemical activity of PSII. The additional incorporation of LHCIIb into liposomes
containing PSIICC markedly increased oxygen evolution of PSIICC. Excitation at 480 nm of chlorophyll (Chl) b in LHCIIb stimulated a characteristic fluorescence emission of the Chl a in PSII (684.2 nm), rather than that of the Chl a in LHCIIb (680 nm) in the LHCIIb–PSIICC proteoliposomes, which indicated that the energy was transferred from LHCIIb to PSIICC
in liposome membranes. Increasing the percentage of MGDG in the PSIICC–LHCIIb proteoliposomes enhanced the photochemical activity
of PSII, due to a more efficient energy transfer from LHCIIb to PSIICC and, thus, an enlarged antenna cross section of PSII. 相似文献

We have studied the effect of grapevine leafroll infection on some features of the thylakoids from field grown grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) leaves. Changes in photosynthetic pigments, soluble proteins, ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBP), nitrate reductase, photosynthetic activities and thylakoid membrane proteins were investigated. The level of total chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids were reduced in virus‐infected leaves. Similar results were also observed for soluble proteins and RuBP case activity. The in vivo nitrate reductase activity was significantly reduced in infected leaves. Virus infection considerably decreased leaf net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (E) in grapevine leaves. When various photosynthetic activities were followed in isolated thylakoids, virus infection caused marked inhibition of whole chain and photosystem (PS) II activity while the inhibition of PSI activity was only marginal. The artificial exogenous electron donors, diphenyl carbazide and hydroxylamine (NH2OH) significantly restored the loss of PSII activity in infected leaves. The same results were obtained when Fv/Fm was evaluated by Chl fluorescence measurements. The marked loss of PSII activity in infected leaves could be due to the loss of 47, 43, 33, 28–25, 23 and 17 kDa polypeptides. It is concluded that virus infection inactivates the donor side of PSII. This conclusion was confirmed by immunological studies showing that the content of the 33 kDa protein of the water‐splitting complex was diminished significantly in infected leaves. 相似文献

This work addresses the question of occurrence and function of photosystem II (PSII) in bundle sheath (BS) cells of leaves possessing NADP-malic enzyme-type C4 photosynthesis (Zea mays). Although no requirement for PSII activity in the BS has been established, several component proteins of PSII have been detected in BS cells of developing maize leaves exhibiting O2-insensitive photosynthesis. We used the basal fluorescence emissions of PSI (F 0I) and PSII (F 0II) as quantitative indicators of the respective relative photosystem densities. Chl fluorescence induction was measured simultaneously at 680 and 750 nm. In mature leaves, the F m(680)/F 0(680) ratio was 10.5 but less in immature leaves. We propose that the lower ratio was caused by the presence of a distinct non-variable component, F c, emitting at 680 and 750 nm. After F c was subtracted, the fluorescence of PSI (F 0I) was detected as a non-variable component at 750 nm and was undetectably low at 680 nm. Contents of Chls a and b were measured in addition to Chl fluorescence. The Chl b/(a + b) was relatively stable in developing sunflower leaves (0.25–0.26), but in maize it increased from 0.09 to 0.21 with leaf tissue age. In sunflower, the F 0I/(F 0I + F 0II) was 0.39 ± 0.01 independent of leaf age, but in maize, this parameter was 0.65 in young tissue of very low Chl content (20–50 mg m?2) falling to a stable level of 0.53 ± 0.01 at Chl contents >100 mg m?2. The values of F 0I/(F 0I + F 0II) showed that in sunflower, excitation was partitioned between PSII and PSI in a ratio of 2:1, but the same ratio was 1:1 in the C4 plant. The latter is consistent with a PSII:PSI ratio of 2:1 in maize mesophyll cells and PSI only in BS cells (2:1:1 distribution). We suggest, moreover, that redox mediation of Chl synthesis, rather than protein accumulation, regulates photosystem assembly to ensure optimum excitation balance between functional PSII and PSI. Indeed, the apparent necessity for two Chls (a and b) may reside in their targeted functions in influencing accumulation of PSI and PSII, respectively, as opposed to their spectral differences. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the antioxidative potential in leaves of the chromatic (CC) versus green (GC) Amaranthus tricolor L. under moderate high-temperature stress at 45°C. Before heat stress, CC had significantly higher levels of betacyanins
[about 3.2 mg g−1(FM)] than the green [1.8 mg g−1(FM) (p<0.01), while similar chlorophyll (Chl) content [about 2 mg g−1(FM)] was observed between both cultivars. After exposure to high temperature (45°C) for 6 days, betacyanins in leaves of
CC were remarkably increased (about 2 times of that in control samples grown at 30°C). In contrast, betacyanins in GC significantly
decreased by 56% in comparison with that of the control. Chl level in CC was higher than that in GC after heat stress for
6 days. Flavonoids and total phenolics in both cultivars were increased, but much more in CC. Significantly less H2O2 accumulation was observed in the leaves and stems of CC than in those of GC under heat stress. Interestingly, much stronger
circadian oscillation in fluorescence was observed in both cultivars after treatment at 45°C, which suggested that heat stress
stimulates endogenous rhythms of photosystem II (PSII). Under moderate high-temperature stress, Chl fluorescence parameters
Fv/Fm (maximum quantum yield of PSII), qP (coefficient of photochemical quenching), ΦPSII (effective PSII quantum yield), and ETR (electron transport rate) exhibited a gradual decrease, NPQ (nonphotochemical quenching)
showed a slight increase followed by a gradual decline, whereas Fo (minimum fluorescence of a dark-adapted leaf) increased continuously. In contrast to GC, after 120 h of high-temperature
treatment, CC exhibited significantly lower Fo level, and higher levels of Fv/Fm and NPQ. It is clear that PSII in CC was more stable than that in GC. The results indicate that betacyanins are an effective
antioxidant, and probably contribute greatly to the higher thermal stability of PSII and higher tolerance to heat stress. 相似文献

The role of H2O2 in the senescence of detached rice leaves induced by methyl jasmonate (MJ) was investigated. MJ treatment resulted in H2O2 production in detached rice leaves, which was prior to the occurrence of leaf senescence. Dimethylthiourea, a chemical trap of H2O2, was observed to be effective in inhibiting MJ‐induced senescence and MJ‐increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in detached rice leaves. Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) and imidazole (IMD), inhibitors of NADPH oxidase, prevented MJ‐induced H2O2 production, suggesting that NADPH oxidase is a H2O2‐generating enzyme in MJ‐treated detached rice leaves. DPI and IMD also inhibited MJ‐promoted senescence and MJ‐increased MDA content in detached rice leaves. Phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase inhibitors wortmannin (WM) or LY 294002 (LY) inhibited MJ‐induced H2O2 production and senescence of detached rice leaves. Exogenous H2O2 reversed the inhibitory effect of WM or LY. In terms of leaf senescence, it was observed that rice seedlings of cultivar Taichung Native 1 (TN1) are jasmonic acid (JA)‐sensitive and those of cultivar Tainung 67 (TNG67) are JA‐insensitive. On treatment with JA, H2O2 accumulated in the leaves of TN1 seedlings but not in the leaves of TNG67. Evidence was also provided to show that MJ‐induced H2O2 production in detached rice leaves is abscisic acid (ABA)‐independent. Ethylene action inhibitor, silver thiosulfate, was observed to inhibit MJ‐ and ABA‐induced H2O2 production and senescence of detached rice leaves, suggesting that the action of MJ and ABA is ethylene‐dependent. 相似文献

Ozone sensitivity in herbaceous species as assessed by direct and modulated chlorophyll fluorescence techniques 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Seven plant species were exposed in open-top chambers to four levels of ozone (O3) during two growing seasons and screened for treatment effects on the fast chlorophylla(Chl) fluorescence transient kinetics of dark-adapted leaves, and on the fluorescence signals obtained from the same leaves in illuminated steady-state. The aim was to identify the nature of O3 effects on PSII, and to determine inter-specific differences. In dark-adapted leaves, O3 caused a reduction in variable fluorescence (FV : F0), indicating an overall reduction in the efficiency of primary photochemistry. A large increase in excitation energy dissipation per active reaction centre (DI0/RC) and a smaller increase in the trapping rate of excitons (TR0/RC), showed that a fraction of the reaction centres was inactivated while the rest sustained full functionality. The magnitude of the effect increased in the order ofBromus erectusCentaurea jacea Trisetum flavescens Rumex obtusifolius Plantago lanceolataTrifolium pratense Knautia arvensis. The inter-specific variability in PSII responses could not be explained solely by specific differences in modelled O3 uptake by the leaves. Visible leaf injury was not related to changes in fluorescence emission. In illuminated steady-state, O3 sensitivity was most expressed in the change in quantum yield of photosynthetic electron transport (ΦPSII). The ranking of species differed from the ranking obtained in dark-adapted leaves. These results suggest that the mechanistic basis for O3 effects on PSII is similar in all species, but that inter-specific differences exist in the magnitude of change which cannot be explained solely by different O3 uptake rates. The observed changes in fluorescence signals are not O3-specific. 相似文献

The action of the environmental toxic Pb2+ on photosynthetic electron transport was studied in thylakoid membranes isolated from spinach leaves. Fluorescence and thermoluminescence techniques were performed in order to determine the mode of Pb2+ action in photosystem II (PSII). The invariance of fluorescence characteristics of chlorophyll a (Chl a) and magnesium tetraphenylporphyrin (MgTPP), a molecule structurally analogous to Chl a, in the presence of Pb2+ confirms that Pb cation does not interact directly with chlorophyll molecules in PSII. The results show that Pb interacts with the water oxidation complex thus perturbing charge recombination between the quinone acceptors of PSII and the S2 state of the Mn4Ca cluster. Electron transfer between the quinone acceptors QA and QB is also greatly retarded in the presence of Pb2+. This is proposed to be owing to a transmembrane modification of the acceptor side of the photosystem. 相似文献

Most plants growing in temperate desert zone exhibit brief temperature-induced inhibition of photosynthesis at midday in the
summer. Heat stress has been suggested to restrain the photosynthesis of desert plants like Alhagi sparsifolia S. It is therefore possible that high midday temperatures damage photosynthetic tissues, leading to the observed inhibition
of photosynthesis. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying heat-induced inhibition of photosynthesis in A. sparsifolia, a dominant species found at the transition zone between oasis and sandy desert on the southern fringe of the Taklamakan
desert. The chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence induction kinetics and CO2 response curves were used to analyze the thermodynamic characters of both photosystem II (PSII) and Rubisco after leaves
were exposed to heat stress. When the leaves were heated to temperatures below 43°C, the initial fluorescence of the dark-adapted
state (Fo), and the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), the number of active reaction centers per cross section (RCs) and the leaf vitality index (PI) increased or declined moderately.
These responses were reversed, however, upon cooling. Moreover, the energy allocation in PSII remained stable. The gradual
appearance of a K point in the fluorescence curve at 48°C indicated that higher temperatures strongly impaired PSII and caused
irreversible damage. As the leaf temperature increased, the activity of Rubisco first increased to a maximum at 34°C and then
decreased as the temperature rose higher. Under high-temperature stress, cell began to accumulate oxidative species, including
ammoniacal nitrogen, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and superoxide (O2
·−), suggesting that disruption of photosynthesis may result from oxidative damage to photosynthetic proteins and thylakoid
membranes. Under heat stress, the biosynthesis of nonenzyme radical scavenging carotenoids (Cars) increased. We suggest that
although elevated temperature affects the heat-sensitive components comprising of PSII and Rubisco, under moderately high
temperature the decrease in photosynthesis is mostly due to inactivation of dark reactions. 相似文献

Nitrogen Starvation Induced Oxidative Stress in an Oil-Producing Green Alga Chlorella sorokiniana C3
Microalgal lipid is one of the most promising feedstocks for biodiesel production. Chlorella appears to be a particularly good option, and nitrogen (N) starvation is an efficient environmental pressure used to increase lipid accumulation in Chlorella cells. The effects of N starvation of an oil-producing wild microalga, Chlorella sorokiniana C3, on lipid accumulation were investigated using thin layer chromatography (TLC), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and flow cytometry (FCM). The results showed that N starvation resulted in lipid accumulation in C. sorokiniana C3 cells, oil droplet (OD) formation and significant lipid accumulation in cells were detected after 2 d and 8 d of N starvation, respectively. During OD formation, reduced photosynthetic rate, respiration rate and photochemistry efficiency accompanied by increased damage to PSII were observed, demonstrated by chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence, 77K fluorescence and oxygen evolution tests. In the mean time the rate of cyclic electron transportation increased correspondingly to produce more ATP for triacylglycerols (TAGs) synthesis. And 0.5 d was found to be the turning point for the early stress response and acclimation of cells to N starvation. Increased level of membrane peroxidation was also observed during OD formation, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxide dismutase (POD) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activity assays suggested impaired reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability. Significant neutral lipid accumulation was also observed by artificial oxidative stress induced by H2O2 treatment. These results suggested coupled neutral lipid accumulation and oxidative stress during N starvation in C. sorokiniana C3. 相似文献

Changes in chloroplast structure and rearrangement of chlorophyll-protein (CP) complexes were investigated in detached leaves of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Eureka), a chilling-sensitive plant, during 5-day dark-chilling at 1 °C and subsequent 3-h photoactivation under white light (200 μmol photons m−2 s−1) at 22 °C. Although, no change in chlorophyll (Chl) content and Chl a/b ratio in all samples was observed, overall fluorescence intensity of fluorescence emission and excitation spectra of thylakoid membranes isolated from dark-chilled leaves decreased to about 50%, and remained after photoactivation at 70% of that of the control sample. Concomitantly, the ratio between fluorescence intensities of PSI and PSII (F736/F681) at 120 K increased 1.5-fold upon chilling, and was fully reversed after photoactivation. Moreover, chilling stress seems to induce a decrease of the relative contribution of LHCII fluorescence to the thylakoid emission spectra at 120 K, and an increase of that from LHCI and PSI, correlated with a decrease of stability of LHCI-PSI and LHCII trimers, shown by mild-denaturing electrophoresis. These effects were reversed to a large extent after photoactivation, with the exception of LHCII, which remained partly in the aggregated form. In view of these data, it is likely that dark-chilling stress induces partial disassembly of CP complexes, not completely restorable upon photoactivation. These data are further supported by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, which showed that regular grana arrangement observed in chloroplasts isolated from control leaves was destroyed by dark-chilling stress, and was partially reconstructed after photoactivation. In line with this, Chl a fluorescence spectra of leaf discs demonstrated that dark-chilling caused a decrease of the quantum yield PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) by almost 40% in 5 days. Complete restoration of the photochemical activity of PSII required 9 h post-chilling photoactivation, while only 3 h were needed to reconstruct thylakoid membrane organization and chloroplast structure. The latter demonstrated that the long-term dark-chilled bean leaves started to suffer from photoinhibition after transfer to moderate irradiance and temperature conditions, delaying the recovery of PSII photochemistry, independently of photo-induced reconstruction of PSII complexes. 相似文献

To investigate the photoinhibition of photosynthesis in ‘Honeycrisp’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Gala) leaves with zonal chlorosis, we compared pigments, CO2 assimilation and chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence (OJIP) transient between chlorotic leaves and normal ones. Chl and carotenoids (Car) contents, Chl a/b ratio, and absorptance were lower in chlorotic leaves than in normal ones, whereas Car/Chl ratio was higher in the former.
Although CO2 assimilation and stomatal conductance were lower in chlorotic leaves, intercellular CO2 concentration did not differ significantly between the two leaf types. Compared with normal leaves, chlorotic ones had increased
deactivation of oxygen-evolving complexes (OEC), minimum fluorescence (F
o), dissipated energy, relative variable fluorescence at L-, W-, J- and I-steps, and decreased maximum fluorescence (F
m), maximum quantum yield for primary photochemistry (F
v
/F
m or TRo/ABS), quantum yield for electron transport (ETo/ABS), quantum yield for the reduction of end acceptors of photosystem I (PSI) (φRo and REo/ABS), maximum amplitude of IP phase, amount of active photosystem II (PSII) reaction centers (RCs) per cross section (CS)
and total performance index (PItot,abs). In conclusion, photoinhibition occurs at both the donor (i.e., the OEC) and the acceptor sides of PSII in chlorotic leaves.
The acceptor side is damaged more severely than the donor side, which possibly is the consequence of over-reduction of PSII
due to the slowdown of Calvin cycle. In addition to decreasing light absorptance by lowering Chl level, energy dissipation
is enhanced to protect chlorotic leaves from photo-oxidative damage. 相似文献

Leaves of Kalanchoë pinnata were exposed in the dark to air (allowing the fixation of CO2 into malic acid) or 2% O2, 0% CO2 (preventing malic acid accumulation). They were then exposed to bright light in the presence or absence of external CO2 and light dependent inhibition of photosynthetic properties assessed by changes in 77 K fluorescence from photosystem II (PSII), light response curves and quantum yields of O2 exchange, rates of electron transport from H2O through QB (secondary electron acceptor from the PSII reaction center) in isolated thylakoids, and numbers of functional PSII centers in intact leaf discs. Sun leaves of K. pinnata experienced greater photoinhibition when exposed to high light in the absence of CO2 if malic acid accumulation had been prevented during the previous dark period. Shade leaves experienced a high degree of photoinhibition when exposed to high light regardless of whether malic acid had been allowed to accumulate in the previous dark period or not. Quantum yields were depressed to a greater degree than was 77 K fluorescence from PSII following photoinhibition. 相似文献

In a chilling-sensitive plant, cucumber, chilling of leaves in the light results in irreversible damage to PSI. Recent in vitro studies suggested that hydroxyl radicals, which are formed in the presence of H2O2 and reduced Fe-S centers, are involved in the PSI inhibition. We therefore examined this possibility in vivo. Chilling of leaves at 5°C in the light caused a temporary increase in H2O2 concentration, which was probably due to the net H2O2 production in vivo. The activity, measured at 5°C, of the thylakoid ascorbate peroxidase (APX), a key enzyme of the H2O2-scavenging system, was about 20% of that measured at 25°C. The isolated thylakoids retaining high thylakoid APX activity did not show light-dependent net H2O2 production at 25°C. However, at 5°C, net production of H2O2 was observed. Since the rate of electron flow to molecular oxygen in the isolated thylakoids was ca 5 mmol e? mol?1 Chl s?1 at 5°C, the H2O2-scavenging capacity was below this level. When intact leaves were illuminated at 5°C at an irradiance of 100 µmol m?2 s?1, the rate of electron transport through PSII was ca 20 mmol e? mol?1 Chl s?1 and more than 80% of QA was in the reduced state. Since thylakoids are uncoupled in cucumber leaves at 5°C in the light. ATP is not formed and energy dissipation in the form of heat is suppressed. Therefore, the electron flow to molecular oxygen would be greater than 5 mmol e? mol?1 Chl s?1. Moreover, under such conditions, components in the electron transport chain, including Fe-S centers in PSI, were probably reduced. These features indicate that, when cucumber leaves are chilled in the light, hydroxyl radicals can be produced by the Fenton reaction and cause damage to PSI. 相似文献

Drought-induced senescence is characterized by a loss of antioxidant defences in chloroplasts 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The relationship between drought, oxidative stress and leaf senescence was evaluated in field‐grown sage (Salvia officinalis L.), a drought‐susceptible species that shows symptoms of senescence when exposed to stress. Despite the photoprotection conferred by the xanthophyll cycle, drought‐stressed senescing leaves showed enhanced lipid peroxidation, chlorophyll loss, reduced photosynthetic activity and strong reductions of membrane‐bound chloroplastic antioxidant defences (i.e. β‐carotene and α‐tocopherol), which is indicative of oxidative stress in chloroplasts. H2O2 accumulated in drought‐stressed senescing leaves. Subcellular localization studies showed that H2O2 accumulated first in xylem vessels and the cell wall and later in the plasma membrane of mesophyll cells, but not in chloroplasts, indicating reactive oxygen species other than H2O2 as direct responsible for the oxidative stress observed in the chloroplasts of drought‐stressed senescing leaves. The strong degradation of β‐carotene and α‐tocopherol suggests an enhanced formation of singlet oxygen as the putative reactive oxygen species responsible for oxidative stress to senescing chloroplasts. This study demonstrates that oxidative stress in chloroplasts mediates drought‐induced leaf senescence in sage growing in Mediterranean field conditions. 相似文献

Different pigments often occur together and affect photosynthetic characteristics of the respective leaf portions. In this study, photosynthetic activity in variegated leaves of five cultivars of the ornamental and medicinal plant, Coleus × hybridus hort., was estimated by image analysis and point data measurements of major chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters and related to the amount of photosynthetic pigments measured with a Chl meter or spectrophotometrically in leaf extracts. Significant differences in Chl and carotenoid (Car) contents were noticed among differentially pigmented sectors of a leaf and among the cultivars. Although the higher Chl concentration was noticed in purple parts compared to green parts of the leaves, the values of minimal and maximal fluorescence yield at the dark- and light-adapted state (F0, Fm, F0', Fm', respectively) were a little lower than those in the green sectors, indicating photoprotective effects provided by anthocyanins and Car, more abundant in the red parts. The lowest Chl and Car content was detected in creamy-yellow and pink sectors and this contributed to low F0, Fm, and Fm', maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, and nonphotochemical and photochemical quenching but high PSII maximum efficiency and effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry. Both methods of Chl fluorescence analysis revealed heterogeneity in capture, transfer, and dissipation of excitation energy but Chl fluorescence imaging was more suitable in examining very narrow pigmented leaf areas. 相似文献

We evaluated the impact of low pH and aluminum (Al) on the leaves and roots of Plantago almogravensis Franco and Plantago algarbiensis Samp., focusing on energy partitioning in photosystem II, H2O2 levels, lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage (EL), protein oxidation, total soluble protein content and antioxidant enzyme activities. In both species, Al triggered more changes in oxidative metabolism than low pH alone, particularly in the roots. We found that Al increased the levels of H2O2 in P. algarbiensis roots, but reduced the levels of H2O2 in P. almogravensis leaves and roots. Neither low pH nor Al affected the spatial heterogeneity of chlorophyll fluorescence, the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), the actual quantum efficiency of PSII (?PSII) or the quantum yields of regulated (?NPQ) and nonregulated (?NO) energy dissipation, and there was no significant change in total soluble protein content and EL. In P. algarbiensis, Al increased the carbonyl content and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the roots, and also CAT, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase activities in the leaves. In P. almogravensis, Al reduced the level of malondialdehyde in the roots as well as SOD activity in the leaves and roots. We found that P. almogravensis plantlets could manage the oxidative stress caused by low pH and Al, whereas the P. algarbiensis antioxidant system was unable to suppress Al toxicity completely, leading to the accumulation of H2O2 and consequential protein oxidation in the roots. 相似文献

- When plants are exposed to a heterogeneous environment, photosynthesis of leaves is not only determined by their local condition, but also by certain signals from other parts of the same plant, termed systemic regulation. Our present study was conducted to investigate the effects of light‐dependent systemic regulation on the photosynthetic performance of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) under heterogeneous light conditions.
- Soybean plants were treated with heterogeneous light. Then gas exchange characteristics were measured to evaluate the photosynthetic performance of leaves. Parameters related to photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll fluorescence, Rubisco and photosynthates were examined to study the mechanisms of light‐dependent systemic regulation on photosynthesis.
- Light‐induced systemic signalling by illuminated leaves reduced the Pn of both upper and lower non‐illuminated leaves on the same soybean plant. The decrease in gs and increase in Ci in these non‐illuminated leaves indicated restriction of carbon assimilation, which was further verified by the decline in content and activity of Rubisco. However, the activation state of Rubisco decreased only in upper non‐illuminated leaves. Quantum efficiency of PSII (ΦPSII) and ETR also decreased only in upper non‐illuminated leaves. Moreover, the effects of light‐induced systemic signalling on carbohydrate content were also detectable only in upper non‐illuminated leaves.
- Light‐induced systemic signalling by illuminated leaves restricts carbon assimilation and down‐regulates photosynthetic performance of non‐illuminated leaves within a soybean plant. However, effects of such systemic regulation differed when regulated in upward or downward direction.

Ozone is the major phytotoxic air pollutant that reduces the yield of several agricultural crops in the Spanish Mediterranean area. We studied four lettuce cultivars (Lactuca sativa L.) for the effects of different O3 concentrations during the winter on chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence, lipid peroxidation, and root length in outdoor open-top chambers. Under O3 the photosynthetic quantum conversion declined while heat emissions increased in all cultivars; these results provide more evidence of non-filtered air with additional ozone (NFA+O3) treatment compared with non-filtered air (NFA) and charcoal filtered ozone-free air (CFA). Changes in the Chl a fluorescence may be associated with an increase in membrane lipid peroxidation as well as with observed reduction of root length under O3 stress. 相似文献

Limited data are available on the effects of phosphorus (P) and aluminum (Al) interactions on Citrus spp. growth and photosynthesis. Sour pummelo (Citrus grandis) seedlings were irrigated for 18 weeks with nutrient solution containing 50, 100, 250 and 500 μM KH2PO4× 0 and 1.2 mM AlCl3· 6H2O. Thereafter, P and Al in roots, stems and leaves, and leaf chlorophyll (Chl), CO2 assimilation, ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and Chl a fluorescence (OJIP) transients were measured. Under Al stress, P increased root Al, but decreased stem and leaf Al. Shoot growth is more sensitive to Al than root growth, CO2 assimilation and OJIP transients. Al decreased CO2 assimilation, Rubisco activity and Chl content, whereas it increased or did not affect intercellular CO2 concentration. Al affected CO2 assimilation more than Rubisco and Chl under 250 and 500 μM P. Al decreased root, stem and leaf P, leaf maximum quantum yield of primary photochemistry (Fv/Fm) and total performance index (PItot,abs), but increased leaf minimum fluorescence (Fo), relative variable fluorescence at K‐ and I‐steps. P could alleviate Al‐induced increase or decrease for all these parameters. We conclude that P alleviated Al‐induced inhibition of growth and impairment of the whole photosynthetic electron transport chain from photosystem II (PSII) donor side up to the reduction of end acceptors of photosystem I (PSI), thus preventing photosynthesis inhibition through increasing Al immobilization in roots and P level in roots and shoots. Al‐induced impairment of the whole photosynthetic electron transport chain may be associated with growth inhibition. 相似文献

When exposed to light, the cells of characean algae produce intermittent regions of H+ extrusion and H+ absorption, featuring different photosynthetic activities. Methods for local measurements of outer pH, O2 content, and photochemical activity of photosystem II (PSII) were applied to examine microscopic regions of Chara coralline Klein ex Willd. internodes. The results show that the functional spatial heterogeneity of these excitable cells is controlled not only by light but also by electric excitation of the plasma membrane. Generation of a single action potential (AP) induced a reversible transition to the state with homogenous pH distribution and had different effects on photosynthesis in cell regions producing alkaline and acid zones. The effective quantum yield of PSII primary processes and the maximal chlorophyll fluorescence decreased after AP in the alkaline cell regions but were almost unaffected in the acidic cell regions. The suppression of photosynthesis after AP was also evident in the decrease of photosynthetic O2 evolution. The results provide evidence that electric signals arising at the plasmalemma are transmitted to the level of thylakoid membranes. The effects of electric excitation on fluorescence and the quantum yield of PSII photochemistry were best pronounced at low light intensities and low level of nonphotochemical quenching. The sensitivity of chlorophyll fluorescence in resting and excited cells to light intensity and protonophores indicates that the AP-induced fluorescence changes derive from the increase in pH gradient at the thylakoid membrane. The temporal elimination of alkaline zones and inhibition of photosynthesis apparently arise from parallel operational sequences that have a common initial stage. A possible role of cytosolic Ca2+ rise in the mechanism of photosynthesis suppression after electric excitation of the plasma membrane is discussed. 相似文献
