Involvement of betacyanin in chilling-induced photoinhibition in leaves of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Suaeda salsa</Emphasis> 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seeds of Suaeda salsa were cultured in dark for 3 d and betacyanin accumulation in seedlings was promoted significantly. Then the seedlings with
accumulated betacyanin (C+B) were transferred to 14/10 h light/dark and used for chilling treatment 15 d later. Photosystem
2 (PS2) photochemistry, D1 protein content, and xanthophyll cycle during the chilling-induced photoinhibition (exposed to
5 °C at a moderate photon flux density of 500 μmol m−2 s−1 for 3 h) and the subsequent restoration were compared between the C+B seedlings and the control (C) ones. The maximal efficiency
of PS2 photochemistry (Fv/Fm), the efficiency of excitation energy capture by open PS2 centres (Fv′/Fm′), and the yield of PS2 electron transport (ΦPS2) of the C+B and C leaves both decreased during photoinhibition. However, smaller decreases in Fv/Fm, Fv′/Fm′, and ΦPS2 were observed in the C+B leaves than in C ones. At the same time, the deepoxidation state of xanthophyll cycle, indicated
by (A+Z)/(V+A+Z) ratio, increased rapidly but the D1 protein content decreased considerably during the photoinhibition. The
increase in rate of (A+Z)/(V+A+Z) was higher but the D1 protein turnover was slower in C+B than C leaves. After photoinhibition
treatment, the plants were transferred to a dim irradiation (10 μmol m−2 s−1) at 25 °C for restoration. During restoration, the chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters, D1 protein content, and xanthophyll
cycle components relaxed gradually, but the rate and level of restoration in the C+B leaves was greater than those in the
C leaves. The addition of betacyanins to the thylakoid solution in vitro resulted in similar changes of Fv/Fm, D1 protein content, and (A+Z)/(V+A+Z) ratio during the chilling process. Therefore, betacyanin accumulation in S. salsa seedlings may result in higher resistance to photoinhibition, larger slowing down of D1 protein turnover, and enhancement
of non-radiative energy dissipation associated with xanthophyll cycle, as well as in greater restoration after photoinhibition
than in the control when subjected to chilling at moderate irradiance. 相似文献

This work describes the long-term acclimation of the halotolerant microalga Dunaliella viridis to different photon irradiance, ranging from darkness to 1500 μmol m−2 s−1. In order to assess the effects of long-term photoinhibition, changes in oxygen production rate, pigment composition, xanthophyll
cycle and in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence using the saturating pulse method were measured. Growth rate was maximal at intermediate irradiance
(250 and 700 μmol m−2 s−1). The increase in growth irradiance from 700 to 1500 μmol m−2 s−1 did not lead to further significant changes in pigment composition or EPS, indicating saturation in the pigment response
to high light. Changes in Photosystem II optimum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) evidenced photoinhibition at 700 and especially at 1500 μmol m−2 s−1. The relation between photosynthetic electron flow rate and photosyntetic O2 evolution was linear for cultures in darkness shifting to curvilinear as growth irradiance increased, suggesting the interference
of the energy dissipation processes in oxygen evolution. Carbon assimilation efficiencies were studied in relation to changes
in growth rate, internal carbon and nitrogen composition, and organic carbon released to the external medium. All illuminated
cultures showed a high capability to maintain a C:N ratio between 6 and 7. The percentage of organic carbon released to the
external medium increased to its maximum under high irradiance (1500 μmol m−2 s−1). These results suggest that the release of organic carbon could act as a secondary dissipation process when the xanthophyll
cycle is saturated.

Two rice chlorophyll (Chl) b-less mutants (VG28-1, VG30-5) and the respective wild type (WT) plant (cv. Zhonghua No. 11) were analyzed for the changes
in Chl fluorescence parameters, xanthophyll cycle pool, and its de-epoxidation state under exposure to strong irradiance,
SI (1 700 μmol m−2 s−1). We also examined alterations in the chloroplast ultrastructure of the mutants induced by methyl viologen (MV) photooxidation.
During HI (0–3.5 h), the photoinactivation of photosystem 2 (PS2) appeared earlier and more severely in Chl b-less mutants than in the WT. The decreases in maximal photochemical efficiency of PS2 in the dark (Fv/Fm), quantum efficiency of PS2 electron transport (ΦPS2), photochemical quenching (qP), as well as rate of photochemistry (Prate), and the increases in de-epoxidation state (DES) and rate of thermal dissipation of excitation energy (Drate) were significantly greater in Chl b-mutants compared with the WT plant. A relatively larger xanthophyll pool and 78–83 % conversion of violaxanthin into antheraxanthin
and zeaxanthin in the mutants after 3.5 h of HI was accompanied with a high ratio of inactive/total PS2 (0.55–0.73) and high
1–qP (0.57–0.68) which showed that the activities of the xanthophyll cycle were probably insufficient to protect the photosynthetic
apparatus against photoinhibition. No apparent difference of chloroplast ultrastructure was found between Chl b-less mutants and WT plants grown under low, LI (180 μmol m−2 s−1) and high, HI (700 μmol m−2 s−1) irradiance. However, swollen chloroplasts and slight dilation of thylakoids occurred in both mutants and the WT grown under
LI followed by MV treatment. These typical symptoms of photooxidative damage were aggravated as plants were exposed to HI.
Distorted and loose scattered thylakoids were observed in particular in the Chl b-less mutants. A greater extent of photoinhibition and photooxidation in these mutants indicated that the susceptibility to
HI and oxidative stresses was enhanced in the photosynthetic apparatus without Chl b most likely as a consequence of a smaller antenna size. 相似文献

Over-expression of chloroplastic glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gene (LeGPAT) increased unsaturated fatty acid contents in phosphatidylglycerol (PG) of thylakoid membrane in tomato. The effect of this
increase on the xanthophyll cycle and chloroplast antioxidant enzymes was examined by comparing wild type (WT) tomato with
the transgenic (TG) lines at chilling temperature (4 °C) under low irradiance (100 μmol m−2 s−1). Net photosynthetic rate and the maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem (PS) 2 (Fv/Fm) in TG plants decreased more slowly during chilling stress and Fv/Fm recovered faster than that in WT plants under optimal conditions. The oxidizable P700 in both WT and TG plants decreased
during chilling stress under low irradiance, but recovered faster in TG plants than in the WT ones. During chilling stress,
non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and the de-epoxidized ratio of xanthophyll cycle in WT plants were lower than those of TG
tomatoes. The higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in TG plants resulted in the
reduction of O2
−· and H2O2 contents during chilling stress. Hence the increase in content of unsaturated fatty acids in PG by the over-expression of
LeGPAT could alleviate photoinhibition of PS2 and PS1 by improving the de-epoxidized ratio of xanthophyll cycle and activities of
SOD and APX in chloroplast. 相似文献

To evaluate the role of specific xanthophylls in light utilization, wild-type and xanthophyll mutant plants (npq1, npq2, lut2, lut2npq1 and lut2npq2) from Arabidopsis thaliana were grown under three different light regimes: 30 (low light, LL), 150 (medium light, ML) and 450 (high light, HL) μmol
photons m−2 s−1. We studied the pigment content, growth rate, xanthophyll cycle activity, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and the response
to photoinhibition. All genotypes differed strongly in the growth rates and the resistance against photoinhibition. In particular,
replacement of lutein (Lut) by violaxanthin (Vx) in the lut2npq1 mutant did not affect the growth at non-saturating light intensities (LL and ML), but led to a pronounced reduction of growth
under HL conditions, indicating an important photoprotective role of Lut. This was further supported by a much higher sensitivity
of all Lut-deficient plants to photoinhibition in comparison with the wild type. In contrast, replacement of Lut by zeaxanthin
(Zx) in lut2npq2 led to a pronounced reduction of growth under all light regimes, most likely related to the permanent non-photochemical dissipation
of excitation energy by Zx at Vx-binding sites and the destabilization of antenna proteins by binding of Zx to Lut-binding
sites. The high susceptibility of lut2npq2 to photoinhibition in comparison with npq2 further indicated that the photoprotective function of Zx is abolished in the absence of Lut. Thus, it can be concluded from
our work that neither Vx nor Zx is able to fulfil the essential photoprotective function at Lut-binding sites under in vivo
conditions. 相似文献

Intact leaves of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson) from plants grown in a range of controlled temperatures from 15/10 to 30/25°C were
exposed to a photon flux density (PFD) of 1500 μmol·m−2·s−1 at leaf temperatures between 10 and 25°C. Photoinhibition and recovery were followed at the same temperatures and at a PFD
of 20 μmol·m−2·s−1, by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence at 77 K and 692 nm, by measuring the photon yield of photosynthetic O2 evolution and light-saturated net photosynthetic CO2 uptake. The growth of plants at low temperatures resulted in chronic photoinhibition as evident from reduced fluorescence
and photon yields. However, low-temperature-grown plants apparently had a higher capacity to dissipate excess excitation energy
than leaves from plants grown at high temperatures. Induced photoinhibition, from exposure to a PFD above that during growth,
was less severe in low-temperature-grown plants, particularly at high exposure temperatures. Net changes in the instantaneous
fluorescence,F
0, indicated that little or no photoinhibition occurred when low-temperature-grown plants were exposed to high-light at high
temperatures. In contrast, high-temperature-grown plants were highly susceptible to photoinhibitory damage at all exposure
temperatures. These data indicate acclimation in photosynthesis and changes in the capacity to dissipate excess excitation
energy occurred in kiwifruit leaves with changes in growth temperature. Both processes contributed to changes in susceptibility
to photoinhibition at the different growth temperatures. However, growth temperature also affected the capacity for recovery,
with leaves from plants grown at low temperatures having moderate rates of recovery at low temperatures compared with leaves
from plants grown at high temperatures which had negligible recovery. This also contributed to the reduced susceptibility
to photoinhibition in low-temperature-grown plants. However, extreme photoinhibition resulted in severe reductions in the
efficiency and capacity for photosynthesis. 相似文献

Two cultivars of Capsicum annuum L. were acclimated for 5 d at sub-optimal temperature (14 °C) and irradiance of 250 µmol m–2 s–1. This cold-hardening resulted in some reduction in the extent of photoinhibition during an 8 h exposure to high irradiance at 4 °C. Obvious differences were observed between non-hardened leaves (NHL) and cold-hardened leaves (CHL) in the recovery under low irradiance at room temperature. The CHL of both cultivars recovered faster than NHL, especially during the initial fast phase of recovery. Compared with NHL, the total content of carotenoids (Cars), based on chlorophyll, Chl (a+b), and the proportions of xanthophyll cycle pigments referred to total Cars increased in CHL, mainly due to an increase of violaxanthin (V) + antheraxanthin (A) + zeaxanthin (Z) content per mol Chl (a+b). Faster development and a higher non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of Chl fluorescence, related to a stronger deepoxidation of the larger xanthophyll cycle pool in NHL, could act as a major defence mechanism to reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species during severe chilling. This is suggested by higher content of Z or Z+A in photoinhibition as well as by its rapid decline during the initial fast phase of recovery. In contrast to the chilling-sensitive cv. 0004, the chilling-tolerant cv. 1141 did more easily acclimate its photosynthetic apparatus to low temperatures. 相似文献

Elevated foliar concentrations of glutathione (GSH) are a common stress response and potentially crucial in conferring increased
stress tolerance. The present study addressed the following questions: can increased foliar GSH levels be achieved in the
short term by applying a stem feeding technique to tree seedlings? If yes, will elevated GSH concentrations provide improved
tolerance to the adverse effects of high-light stress? To this end Eucalyptus camaldulensis seedlings were stem fed a 5 mM GSH solution for 6–7 h before subjecting them to high-light exposure designed to induce photoinhibition.
GSH in leaves was measured using a standard photometric method, and the effect of the high-light treatment was evaluated by
the decrease in the optimum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) measured by chlorophyll fluorescence (F
v/F
m). Stem feeding GSH significantly increased GSH concentrations in the leaves up to 40% above control plants. Exposure to artificial
high-light intensity for 3 h induced significant photoinhibition in leaves, measured by a 15% decrease in F
v/F
m. At the same time, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance measurements indicated that leaf physiology was not disrupted
as a result of the stem feeding technique. However, we have no indication that elevated GSH increased tolerance; neither did
it increase sensitivity of plants to high light-induced photoinhibition. This result was accompanied by maintained rates of
photochemistry before and after light stress. Unlike previous GSH-related experiments increased tolerance by increasing the
rate of photochemistry was not achieved in the present experiment. 相似文献

Thermotolerance and related antioxidant enzyme activities induced by both heat acclimation and exogenous salicylic acid (SA)
application were studied in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Jingxiu). Heat acclimation and exogenous SA application induced comparable changes in thermotolerance, ascorbic acid
(AsA), glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations, and in activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase
(GR), ascorbic peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) in grape leaves. Within 1 h at 38 °C, free SA concentration in leaves rose
from 3.1 μg g−1 FW to 19.1 μg g−1 FW, then sharply declined. SA application and heat acclimation induced thermotolerance were related to changes of antioxidant
enzyme activities and antioxidant concentration, indicating a role for endogenous SA in heat acclimation in grape leaves. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to clarify effects of anthocyanins on photosynthesis and photoinhibition in green and red leaves
of Oxalis triangularis. Gas analysis indicated that green plants had the highest apparent quantum yield for CO2 assimilation [0.051 vs. 0.031 μmol(CO2) μmol−1(photon)] and the highest maximum photosynthesis [10.07 vs. 7.24 μmol(CO2) m−2 s−1], while fluorescence measurements indicated that red plants had the highest PSII quantum yield [0.200 vs. 0.143 μmol(e−) μmol−1(photon)] and ETRmax [66.27 vs. 44.34 μmol(e−) m−2 s−1]. Red plants had high contents of anthocyanins [20.11 mg g−1(DM)], while green plants had low and undetectable levels of anthocyanin. Red plants also had statistically significantly
(0.05>p>0.01) lower contents of xanthophyll cycle components [0.63 vs. 0.76 mg g−1(DM)] and higher activities of the reactive oxygen scavenging enzyme ascorbate peroxidase [41.2 vs. 10.0 nkat g−1(DM)]. Anthocyanins act as a sunscreen, protecting the chloroplasts from high light intensities. This shading effect causes
a lower photosynthetic CO2 assimilation in red plants compared to green plants, but a higher quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII). Anthocyanins
contribute to photoprotection, compensating for lower xanthophyll content in red plants, and red plants are less photoinhibited
than green plants, as illustrated by the Fv/Fm ratio. 相似文献

Nitraria retusa and Atriplex halimus (xero-halophytes) plants were grown in the range 0–800 mM NaCl while Medicago arborea (glycophyte) in 0–300 mM NaCl. Salt stress caused a marked decrease in osmotic potential and a significant accumulation of
Na+ and Cl− in leaves of both species. Moderate salinity had a stimulating effect on growth rate, net CO2 assimilation, transpiration and stomatal conductance for the xero-halophytic species. At higher salinities, these physiological
parameters decreased significantly, and their percentages of reduction were higher in A. halimus than in N. retusa whereas, in M. arborea they decreased linearly with salinity. Nitraria retusa PSII photochemistry and carotenoid content were unaffected by salinity, but a reduction in chlorophyll content was observed
at 800 mM NaCl. Similar results were found in A. halimus, but with a decrease in the efficiency of PSII (F′v/F′m) occurred at 800 mM. Conversely, in M. arborea plants we observed a significant reduction in pigment concentrations and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The marked
toxic effect of Na+ and/or Cl− observed in M. arborea indicates that salt damage effect could be attributed to ions’ toxicity, and that the reduction in photosynthesis is most
probably due to damages in the photosynthetic apparatus rather than factors affecting stomatal closure. For the two halophyte
species, it appears that there is occurrence of co-limitation of photosynthesis by stomatal and non-stomatal factors. Our
results suggest that both N. retusa and A. halimus show high tolerance to both high salinity and photoinhibition while M. arborea was considered as a slightly salt tolerant species. 相似文献

The effect of prolonged illumination (60 min) with photosynthetically active monochromatic radiation of low intensity (3 μmol
m−2 s−1) and high intensity (60 μmol m−2 s−1), corresponding to the physiological conditions and light stress conditions, respectively, was studied in the algae Nitellopsis obtusa. Illumination of Nitellopsis obtusa cells with strong light was associated with activation of the xanthophyll cycle, manifested by the deepoxidation of violaxanthin
and accumulation of antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin. At the same time, the efficient singlet excitation quenching in the photosynthetic
apparatus was activated, as demonstrated by the decrease in the intensity of the chlorophyll a fluorescence emission by ca 50 %. The difference of the fluorescence excitation spectra recorded before and after the light treatment match the difference
absorption spectrum of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. The illumination with low light intensity resulted also in the chlorophyll
a fluorescence quenching but the effect was very small (less than 10 %). The fluorescence quenching is interpreted in terms
of the energy transfer between the Qy energy level of chlorophyll a and the 21 Ag
− energy level of zeaxanthin. The singlet energy levels of carotenoids, corresponding to the green spectral region, are also
taken into consideration in the interpretation of the excitation energy exchange between the carotenoids and chlorophylls.
Possible molecular mechanisms involved in the activation of the strong and the weak excitation quenching, including violaxanthin
isomerization, and possible physiological functions of such pathways of energy transfer are discussed. 相似文献

Summary MicropropagatedRosa hybrida plantlets were simultaneously rooted and acclimatized under 100 and 200 μmol m−2 s−1 light for 2 wk. At the end of the first week of acclimatization, the plantlets were transferred onto a low water potential
medium (from −0.06 MPa to −0.3 MPa). Dry weight was decreased by increased hight and low water potential. Photoinhibition
of photosynthesis, expressed as a decrease in Fv/Fm ratio and ΦPSII and an increase in 1 −qp, occurred in plants grown under
200 μmol m−2 s−1. When high light (200 μmol m−2 s−1) and water stress were applied simultaneously, their effects on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters depended on stress duration;
after 1 d of water stress, photoinhibition was more pronounced; after 7 d of stress, Fv/Fm ratio and ΦPSII were higher than
after 1 d of stress; photoinhibition was reduced. This suggests that after a 1-d stress, the effect of water stress alone
included a superimposed effect of photoinhibition to which the water-stressed plants were sensitized; after 7 d, plantlets
had adapted to water stress. The photoprotective effects under high light might result in energy dissipative mechanisms linked
to photochemical and nonphotochemical quenching other than CO2 fixation. 相似文献

Photoinhibition and xanthophyll cycle activity in bayberry (Myrica rubra) leaves induced by high irradiance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of high irradiance (HI, photosynthetically active photon flux density of 1 300 μmol m−2 s−1) on net photosynthetic rate (P
N), chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and xanthophyll cycle components were studied in fruit tree bayberry leaves. HI induced
the photoinhibition and inactivation of photosystem 2 (PS2) reaction centres (RCs), which was characterized by decreased P
N, maximum yield of fluorescence after dark adaptation (Fm), photochemical efficiency of PS2 (Fv/Fm) and quantum yield of PS2 (ΦPS2), and increased reduction state of QA (1-qP) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Initial fluorescence (F0) showed a decrease after the first 2 h, and subsequently increased from the third hour exposure to HI. Furthermore, a greater
increase in the ratio (Fi-F0)/(Fp-F0) which is an expression of the proportion of the QB non-reducing PS2 centres, whereas a remarked decrease in the slope of Fi to Fp which represents the rate of QA reduction was observed in leaves after HI exposure. Additionally, HI caused an increase in the pool size of the xanthophyll
cycle pigments and sustained elevated contents of zeaxanthin (Z), antheraxanthin (A), and de-epoxidation state (DES) at the
end of the irradiation period. During HI, decreased Fm, Fv/Fm, ΦPS2, NPQ, slope of Fi to Fp, V+A+Z, and DES, and increased F0, 1-qP, ratio (Fi-F0)/(Fp-F0), and V were observed in dithiothreitol (DTT)-fed leaves compared to control ones under the same conditions. Hence photoinhibition
caused by HI in bayberry was probably attributed to inactivation of PS2 RCs, and photoprotection from photodamage were mainly
related to the xanthophyll cycle-dependent heat dissipation in excess photons. 相似文献

Mentha pulegium L. is a medicinal and aromatic plant belonging to the Labiatae family present in the humid to the arid bioclimatic regions
of Tunisia. We studied the effect of different salt concentrations on plant growth, mineral composition and antioxidant responses.
Physiological and biochemical parameters were assessed in the plant organs after 2 weeks of salt treatment with 25, 50, 75
and 100 mM NaCl. Results showed that, growth was reduced even by 25 mM, and salt effect was more pronounced in shoots (leaves
and stems) than in roots. This growth decrease was accompanied by a restriction in tissue hydration and K+ uptake, as well as an increase in Na+ levels in all organs. Considering the response of antioxidant enzymes to salt, leaves and roots reacted differently to saline
conditions. Leaf and root guaiacol peroxidase activity showed an increase by different concentration of NaCl, but superoxide
dismutase activity in the same organs showed a slight modification in NaCl-treated leaves and roots. Moreover, polyphenol
contents and antioxidant activity were analysed in M. pulegium leaves and roots under salt constraint. The analysis showed an increase of total polyphenol content (2.41–8.17 mg gallic
acid equivalent g−1 dry weight) in leaves. However, methanol extract of leaves at 100 mM NaCl displayed the highest DPPH· scavenging ability
with the lowest IC50 value (0.27 μg ml−1) in comparison with control which exhibited IC50 equal to 0.79 μg ml−1. 相似文献

Photosynthetic induction times and photoinhibition in relation to simulated sunflecks (sudden increase of irradiance from
20 to 1,500 μmol m−2 s−1) were examined in leaves of co-occurring Fagus lucida (a deciduous tree) and Castanopsis lamontii (an evergreen tree) saplings grown either in a beech forest understory or in an adjacent open site during a late rainy season.
Two hypotheses were tested: (1) understory leaves would display faster photosynthetic induction times and greater photoinhibition
than open-grown leaves; and (2) evergreen species would have slower photosynthetic induction times and lighter photoinhibition
than deciduous species. Times to reach 90% of maximal CO2 assimilation rate (t
90%A
) and stomatal conductance
did not differ between species, but showed faster by 3–5 min in open-grown leaves than understory leaves due to higher initial
stomatal conductance (g
s
initial) and induction state 1 min into simulated sunflecks (IS1min) in the former. Our analysis across the published data on photosynthetic induction of 48 broad-leaved woody species again
revealed the negative correlations between t
90%A
and either g
s initial or IS1min, and the similarity of t
90%A
and between evergreen and deciduous species. Measurements of maximum PSII photochemical efficiency (F
v/F
m) indicated that photoinhibition occurred in saplings in any of the growth habitats during sunfleck-induced photosynthetic
induction. Despite no interspecific differences in the degree of photoinhibition, understory leaves of both species suffered
heavier photoinhibition than open-grown leaves, as indicated by a stronger decrease of F
v/F
m in the former. Dynamic changes in the quantum yields of PSII photochemistry and ΔpH- and xanthophyll-regulated thermal dissipation
and adjustments in the partitioning of electron flow between assimilative and non-assimilative processes were functional to
resist photoinhibition. However, such photoinhibition, together with stomatal and biochemical limitations, would decrease
carbon gain during simulated sunflecks, particularly in understory leaves. 相似文献

The mechanistic basis for protection of exogenous ascorbate against photoinhibition at low temperature was examined in leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Exposure of intact leaves to chilling temperature resulted in a drastic decrease in the speed of development of non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ). This was related to the low temperature-imposed restriction on the formation of the fast relaxing component of NPQ (qf). Feeding with 20 mM ascorbate markedly increased the rate of qf development at chilling temperature due primarily to the enhanced rate of zeaxanthin (Z) formation. On the other hand, ascorbate feeding had no influence on photosystem 2 (PS2)-driven electron flow. The reduced state of the PS2 primary electron acceptor QA decreased in ascorbate-fed leaves exposed to high irradiance at chilling temperature owing to the increased Z-associated thermal energy dissipation in the light-harvesting antenna system of PS2. Furthermore, ascorbate feeding increased the photosynthetic apparatus of rice leaves to resist photoinhibition at low temperature. The protective effect of exogenous ascorbate was fully accounted for by the enhanced xanthophyll cycle activity. 相似文献

Detached leaves of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) experienced photoinhibition associated with sharp reductions in net photosynthetic rate (Pn), quantum efficiency of
PSII (ΦPSII) and photochemical quenching (qP) even though they were exposed to mild light intensity (400 μmol m−2 s−1 PPFD) at 28°C. Photoinhibition and the reduction in Pn, ΦPSII and qP, however, were significantly alleviated by 1 mg l−1 ABA, 0.1 mg l−1
N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea (CPPU) and 0.01 mg l−1 24-epibrassinolide (EBR). Higher concentrations, however, reduced the effects or even exacerbated the occurrence of photoinhibition.
Superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activity in leaves increased with the increases in ABA concentration within
1–100 mg l−1, CPPU concentration within 0.1–10 mg l−1 and EBR concentration within 0.01–1.0 mg l−1. Catalase and guaiacol peroxidase activity also increased with the increase in EBR concentration but CPPU and ABA treatments
at higher concentrations caused a decrease. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content decreased with the increase in CPPU concentration.
ABA and EBR, however, decreased MDA concentration only at 1 and 0.01 mg l−1, respectively. In conclusion, detached leaves had increased sensitivity to PSII photoinhibition. Photoinhibition-induced
decrease in photosynthesis, however, was significantly alleviated by EBR, CPPU and ABA at a proper concentration. 相似文献

The xanthophyll cycle and the water-water cycle had different functional significance in chilling-sensitive sweet pepper upon exposure to chilling temperature (4 °C) under low irradiance (100 µmol m−2 s−1) for 6 h. During chilling stress, effects of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) on photosystem 2 (PS2) in dithiothreitol (DTT) fed leaves remained distinguishable from that of the water-water cycle in diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) fed leaves. In DTT-fed leaves, NPQ decreased greatly accompanied by visible inhibition of the de-epoxidized ratio of the xanthophyll cycle, and maximum photochemical efficiency of PS2 (Fv/Fm) decreased markedly. Thus the xanthophyll cycle-dependent NPQ could protect PS2 through energy dissipation under chilling stress. However, NPQ had a slighter effect on photosystem 1 (PS1) in DTT-fed leaves than in DDTC-fed leaves, whereas effects of the water-water cycle on PS1 remained distinguishable from that of NPQ. Inhibiting superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased the accumulation of
, the oxidation level of P700 (P700+) decreased markedly relative to the control and DTT-fed leaves. Both Fv/Fm and NPQ changed little in DDTC-fed leaves accompanied by little change of (A+Z)/(V+A+Z). This is the active oxygen species inducing PS1 photoinhibition in sweet pepper. The water-water cycle can be interrupted easily at chilling temperature. We propose that during chilling stress under low irradiance, the xanthophyll cycle-dependent NPQ has the main function to protect PS2, whereas the water-water cycle is not only the pathway to dissipate energy but also the dominant factor causing PS1 chilling-sensitivity in sweet pepper.This research was supported by the State Key Basic Research and Development Plan of China (G1998010100), the Natural Science Foundation of China (30370854), and the open project from Key Lab of Crop Biology of Shandong Province. 相似文献

Leaves ofNerium oleander L. plants, which had been previously kept in a shaded glasshouse for at least two months, were fed 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)
through their petioles, either for 12h in darkness (overnight) or for 2h in low light (28 μmol photons·m−2·s−1), in each case followed by a 3-h exposure to high light (1260 μmol photons·m−2·s−1). During exposure to high light, violaxanthin became converted to zeaxanthin in control leaves, to which water had been fed,
whereas zeaxanthin did not accumulate in leaves treated with DTT. Total carbon gain was not reduced by DTT during the photoinhibitory
treatment. Exposure to high light led to a decrease in the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, measured as the ratio
of variable over maximum fluorescence emission,F
v/F
M, at both 298 K and 77K. The decrease was much more pronounced in the presence of DTT, mainly owing to a sustained increase
in the instantaneous fluorescence,F
o. By contrast, in the control leaves,F
o determined immediately after the high-light treatment showed a transient decrease below theF
o value obtained before the onset of the photoinhibitory treatment (i.e. after 12 h dark adaptation), followed by a rapid return
(within seconds) to this original level ofF
o during the following recovery period in darkness. Incubation of leaves with DTT led to large, sustained decreases in the
photon-use efficiency of photosynthetic O2 evolution by bright light, whilst the capacity of photosynthetic O2 evolution at light and CO2 saturation was less affected. In the control leaves, only small reductions in the photon yield and in the photosynthetic
capacity were observed. These findings are consistent with previous suggestions that zeaxanthin, formed in the xanthophyll
cycle by de-epoxidation of violaxanthin, is involved in protecting the photosynthetic apparatus against the adverse effects
of excessive light. 相似文献
