Comparative analysis revealed that a xantha rice mutant (cv. Huangyu B) had higher ratios of chlorophyll (Chl) a/b and carotenoids/Chl, and higher photosynthetic efficiency than its wild type parent (cv. II32 B). Unexpectedly, the mutant had higher net photosynthetic rate (P N) than II32 B. This might have resulted from its lower non-photochemical quenching (qN) but higher maximal photochemical efficiency (FV/FM), higher excitation energy capture efficiency of photosystem 2 (PS2) reaction centres (FV′/FM′), higher photochemical quenching (qP), higher effective PS2 quantum yield (ΦPS2), and higher non-cyclic electron transport rate (ETR). This is the first report of a chlorophyll mutant that has higher photosynthetic efficiency and main Chl fluorescence parameters than its wild type. This mutant could become a unique material both for the basic research on photosynthesis and for the development of high yielding rice cultivars.  相似文献

The photoinhibition of photosynthesis at chilling temperatures was investigated in cold-acclimated and unhardened (acclimated to +18° C) spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves. In unhardened leaves, reversible photoinhibition caused by exposure to moderate light at +4° C was based on reduced activity of photosystem (PS) II. This is shown by determination of quantum yield and capacity of electron transport in thylakoids isolated subsequent to photoinhibition and recovery treatments. The activity of PSII declined to approximately the same extent as the quantum yield of photosynthesis of photoinhibited leaves whereas PSI activity was only marginally affected. Leaves from plants acclimated to cold either in the field or in a growth chamber (+1° C), were considerably less susceptible to the light treatment. Only relatively high light levels led to photoinhibition, characterized by quenching of variable chlorophyll a fluorescence (FV) and slight inhibition of PSII-driven electron transport. Fluorescence data obtained at 77 K indicated that the photoinhibition of cold-acclimated leaves (like that of the unhardened ones) was related to increased thermal energy dissipation. But in contrast to the unhardened leaves, 77 K fluorescence of cold-acclimated leaves did not reveal a relative increase of PSI excitation. High-light-treated, cold-acclimated leaves showed increased rates of dark respiration and a higher light compensation point. The photoinhibitory fluorescence quenching was fully reversible in low light levels both at +18° C and +4° C; the recovery was much faster than in unhardened leaves. Reversible photoinhibition is discussed as a protective mechanism against excess light based on transformation of PSII reaction centers to fluorescence quenchers.Abbreviations FO initial fluorescence - FM maximal fluorescence - FV devariable fluorescence (fm-fo) - PFD photon flux density - PS photosystem - SD standard deviation The authors thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Academy of Finland for financial support.  相似文献

The effects of different spectral region of excitation and detection of chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence at room temperature on the estimation of excitation energy utilization within photosystem (PS) 2 were studied in wild-type barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Bonus) and its Chl b-less mutant chlorina f2 grown under low and high irradiances [100 and 1 000 μmol(photon) m−2 s−1]. Three measuring spectral regimes were applied using a PAM 101 fluorometer: (1) excitation in the red region (maximum at the wavelength of 649 nm) and detection in the far-red region beyond 710 nm, (2) excitation in the blue region (maximum at the wavelength of 461 nm) and detection beyond 710 nm, and (3) excitation in the blue region and detection in the red region (660– 710 nm). Non-photochemical quenching of maximal (NPQ) and minimal fluorescence (SV0), determined by detecting Chl a fluorescence beyond 710 nm, were significantly higher for blue excitation as compared to red excitation. We suggest that this results from higher non-radiative dissipation of absorbed excitation energy within light-harvesting complexes of PS2 (LHC2) due to preferential excitation of LHC2 by blue radiation and from the lower contribution of PS1 emission to the detected fluorescence in the case of blue excitation. Detection of Chl a fluorescence originating preferentially from PS2 (i.e. in the range of 660–710 nm) led to pronounced increase of NPQ, SV0, and the PS2 photochemical efficiencies (FV/FM and FV′/FM′), indicating considerable underestimation of these parameters using the standard set-up of PAM 101. Hence PS1 contribution to the minimal fluorescence level in the irradiance-adapted state may reach up to about 80 %.  相似文献

Tolerance of photosystem 2 (PS2) to high temperature in apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Cortland) leaves and peel was investigated by chlorophyll a fluorescence (OJIP) transient after exposure to 25 (control), 40, 42, 44, and 46 °C in the dark for 30 min. The positive L-step was more pronounced in a peel than in leaves when exposed to 44 °C. Heat-induced K-step became less pronounced in leaves than in peel when exposed to 42 °C or higher temperature. Leaves had negative L-and K-steps relative to the peel. The decrease of oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) by heat stress was higher in the peel than in the leaves. OJIP transient from the 46 °C treated peel could not reach the maximum fluorescence (Fm). The striking thermoeffect was the big decrease in the relative variable fluorescence at 30 ms (VI), especially in the leaves. Compared with the peel, the leaves had less decreased maximum PS2 quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm), photochemical rate constant (KP), Fm and performance index (PI) on absorption basis (PIabs) and less increased minimum fluorescence (F0) and non-photochemical rate constant (KN), but more increased reduction of end acceptors at PS1 electron acceptor side per cross section (RE0/CS0) and per reaction center (RE0/RC0), quantum yield of electron transport from QA to the end acceptors (ϕ R0) and total PI (PIabs,total) when exposed to 44 °C. In conclusion, PS2 is more thermally labile than PS1. The reduction of PS2 activity by heat stress primarily results from an inactivation of OEC. PS2 was more tolerant to high temperature in the leaves than in the peel.  相似文献

With japonica rice 98-08, indica hybrids Shanyou 63, Gangyou 881, and X07S/Zihui 100, and sub-species hybrid Peiai 64S/9311 as materials, chlorophyll (Chl) content, Chl a fluorescence parameters, and membrane lipid peroxidation in flag leaf were measured at late developmental stages under natural conditions. Fv/Fm, qP, PS2, and electron transport rate gradually decreased while qN increased conversely. Excessive photon energy led to the accumulation of active oxygen (O2 ), H2O, malonyldialdehyde, and products of membrane lipid peroxidation, and resulted in reduced Chl content and early ageing subsequent to the photooxidation during flag leaf senescence. There was obvious diversification of these parameters among rice cultivars. In comparison with japonica cv. 98-08 (tolerant to photooxidation), Fv/Fm decreased in indica cv. Shanyou 63 (susceptible to photooxidation) with greater accumulation of active oxygen and a sharp drop in Chl content, which resulted in yellowish early ageing, and affected the filling and setting of rice grains. The mechanism for premature ageing in indica rice was related to irradiance and temperature at filling stages. On a sunny day at above 25 °C, the reaction centre of photosystem 2 (PS2) exhibited a dynamic change on reversible inactivation. Under the intense irradiance at noon, PS2 function in indica rice exhibited obvious down-regulation and photoinhibition. Under intense irradiance with lowered temperatures, PS2 resulted in photo-damage and early ageing, related to the degradation of PS2-D1 protein and the inhibition of endogenous protection systems such as the xanthophyll cycle and enzymes scavenging active oxygen. Hence for high-yield breeding, based on a good plant-type and utilising heterosis and tolerance of photooxidation, the selection of japonica rice or a sterile line with the japonica genotype as female is a strategy worthy of consideration.  相似文献

The effects of moderate light at chilling temperature on the photosynthesis of unhardened (acclimated to +18° C) and hardened (cold-acclimated) spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) leaves were studied by means of fluorescence-induction measurements at 20° C and 77K and by determination of quantum yield of O2 evolution. Exposure to 550 mol photons·m-2·s-1 at +4° C induced a strong photoinhibition in the unhardened leaves within a few hours. Photoinhibition manifested by a decline in quantum yield was characterized by an increase in initial fluorescence (F o) and a decrease in variable fluorescence (F v) and in the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (F V/F M), both at 77K and 20° C. The decline in quantum yield was more closely related to the decrease in the F V/F M ratio measured at 20° C, as compared with F V/F M at 77K. Quenching of the variable fluorescence of photosystem II was accompanied by a decline in photosystem-I fluorescence at 77K, indicating increased thermal de-excitation of pigments as the main consequence of the light treatment. All these changes detected in fluorescence parameters as well as in the quantum yield of O2 evolution were fully reversible within 1–3 h at a higher temperature in low light. The fast recovery led us to the view that this photoinhibition represents a regulatory mechanism protecting the photosynthetic apparatus from the adverse effects of excess light by increasing thermal energy dissipation. Long-term cold acclimation probably enforces other protective mechanisms, as the hardened leaves were insensitive to the same light treatment that induced strong inhibition of photosynthesis in unhardened leaves.Abbreviations F 0 initial fluorescence - F M maximum fluorescence - F V variable fluorescence (F M-F 0 - PFD photon flux density - PS photosystem  相似文献

This contribution is a practical guide to the measurement of the different chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters and gives examples of their development under high-irradiance stress. From the Chl fluorescence induction kinetics upon irradiation of dark-adapted leaves, measured with the PAM fluorometer, various Chl fluorescence parameters, ratios, and quenching coefficients can be determined, which provide information on the functionality of the photosystem 2 (PS2) and the photosynthetic apparatus. These are the parameters Fv, Fm, F0, Fm′, Fv′, NF, and ΔF, the Chl fluorescence ratios Fv/Fm, Fv/F0, ΔF/Fm′, as well as the photochemical (qP) and non-photochemical quenching coefficients (qN, qCN, and NPQ). qN consists of three components (qN = qE + qT + qI), the contribution of which can be determined via Chl fluorescence relaxation kinetics measured in the dark period after the induction kinetics. The above Chl fluorescence parameters and ratios, many of which are measured in the dark-adapted state of leaves, primarily provide information on the functionality of PS2. In fully developed green and dark-green leaves these Chl fluorescence parameters, measured at the upper adaxial leaf side, only reflect the Chl fluorescence of a small portion of the leaf chloroplasts of the green palisade parenchyma cells at the upper outer leaf half. Thus, PAM fluorometer measurements have to be performed at both leaf sides to obtain information on all chloroplasts of the whole leaf. Combined high irradiance (HI) and heat stress, applied at the upper leaf side, strongly reduced the quantum yield of the photochemical energy conversion at the upper leaf half to nearly zero, whereas the Chl fluorescence signals measured at the lower leaf side were not or only little affected. During this HL-stress treatment, qN, qCN, and NPQ increased in both leaf sides, but to a much higher extent at the lower compared to the upper leaf side. qN was the best indicator for non-photochemical quenching even during a stronger HL-stress, whereas qCN and NPQ decreased with progressive stress even though non-photochemical quenching still continued. It is strongly recommended to determine, in addition to the classical fluorescence parameters, via the PAM fluorometer also the Chl fluorescence decrease ratio RFd (Fd/Fs), which, when measured at saturation irradiance is directly correlated to the net CO2 assimilation rate (P N) of leaves. This RFd-ratio can be determined from the Chl fluorescence induction kinetics measured with the PAM fluorometer using continuous saturating light (cSL) during 4–5 min. As the RFd-values are fast measurable indicators correlating with the photosynthetic activity of whole leaves, they should always be determined via the PAM fluorometer parallel to the other Chl fluorescence coefficients and ratios.  相似文献

Changes in various components of photosynthetic apparatus during the 6-d dark incubation at 25 °C of detached control and DCMU-treated Triticum aestivum L. leaves were examined. The rate of photosystem 2 (PS2) activity was decreased with increase of the time of dark incubation in control leaves. In contrast to this, DCMU-treated leaves demonstrated high stability by slowing down the inactivation processes. Diphenyl carbazide and NH2OH restored the PS2 activity more in control leaves than in DCMU-treated leaves. Mn2+ failed to restore the PS2 activity in both control and DCMU-treated samples. Similar results were obtained when Fv/Fm was evaluated by chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. The marked loss of PS2 activity in dark incubated control leaves was primarily due to the loss of D1, 33, and 23 kDa extrinsic polypeptides and 28-25 kDa LHCP2 polypeptides.  相似文献

When dark-acclimated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Coker 312) leaves, pre-treated with lincomycin to inhibit chloroplast protein repair processes, were exposed to 10 °C and a PPFD of 500 mol m-2 s-1, the proportion of excitation energy entering photochemistry (P) increased, but only to 5 % of the total energy absorbed at steady state levels of P, which were reached at 40 min of irradiation. Thermal dissipation (D) of absorbed energy increased throughout the 360 min irradiation period and accounted for the greatest portion of absorbed energy at 10 °C. When D was partitioned into constitutive (DCON), regulated (DREG), and photoinhibitory (DPI) components, it was primarily composed of DREG, the readily reversible portion of D. However, the induction of D was slow at 10 °C. Sixty minutes were required for D to reach 70 % of the energy absorbed. Considerable absorption of energy in excess of that utilized in photochemistry or dissipated thermally (designated as E) occurred, especially during induction of P and D. Over the irradiation period, the time-dependent averaged E exhibited an inverse, linear relationship with the ratio of variable (Fv) to maximum (Fm) fluorescence (PS2 efficiency) and a linear relationship with DPI. We propose that time-dependent averaged E may be useful for estimating the potential for damage to PS2 under stressful environmental conditions.  相似文献

We examined, under laboratory conditions, the influence of temperature (2 °C vs. 10 °C) on the physiological responses of two aquatic bryophytes from a mountain stream to artificially enhanced UV-B radiation for 82 d. These organisms may be exposed naturally to relatively low temperatures and high levels of UV-B radiation, and this combination is believed to increase the adverse effects of UV-B radiation. In the moss Fontinalis antipyretica, UV-B-treated samples showed severe physiological damages, including significant decreases in chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoid (Car) contents, Chl a/b and Chl/phaeopigment ratios, Chl a fluorescence parameters Fv/Fm and PS2, electron transport rate (ETRmax), and growth. In the liverwort Jungermannia cordifolia, UV-B radiation hardly caused any physiological change except for growth reduction. Thus, this liverwort seemed to be more tolerant to UV-B radiation than the moss under the specific experimental conditions used, maybe partly due to the accumulation of UV-B absorbing compounds. The influence of temperature on the effects of UV-B radiation depended on the species: the higher the UV-B tolerance, the lower the influence of temperature. Also, different physiological variables showed varied responses to this influence. Particularly, the lower temperature used in our study enhanced the adverse effects of UV-B radiation on important physiological variables such as Fv/Fm, growth, and Chl/phaeopigment ratios in the UV-B-sensitive F. antipyretica, but not in the more UV-B-tolerant J. cordifolia. Thus, the adverse effects of cold and UV-B radiation were apparently additive in the moss, but this additiveness was lacking in the liverwort. The Principal Components Analyses (PCA) conducted for both species with the physiological data obtained after 36 and 82 d of culture confirmed the above results. Under natural conditions, the relatively high water temperatures in summer might facilitate the acclimation of aquatic bryophytes from mountain streams to high levels of UV-B radiation. This may be relevant to predict the consequences of concomitant global warming and increasing UV-B radiation.  相似文献

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) has been transformed to accumulate different compatible solutes (proline, fructans, or glycine betaine) in order to improve its tolerance to abiotic stress. Photosynthetic activity of wild Type (wt) and transformed tobacco plants before and after freezing stress was studied by measuring chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence. The JIP test of Chl fluorescence induction was used to analyze in details the functional activity of photosystem 2. No significant differences were found among wild Type and transgenic plants after 12 h of freezing. Both plant Types maintained the same values of the measured parameters [FV/FM, PI(CSM), ABS/RC, TR0/RC, ET/RC] after recovery of stress. The studied Chl fluorescence parameters decreased only for the wild Type plants, stressed for 24 h at –2 °C. The strong inhibition of photosynthetic reactions in the wt plant after 24 h of freezing could not be restored. The evaluated parameters of transgenic plants did not change significantly after 24 h at –2 °C and successfully survived freezing stress.  相似文献

We studied changes in the chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence components in chilling-stressed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) cv. Tainung 57 (TN57, chilling-tolerant) and cv. Tainung 66 (TN66, chilling-susceptible). Plants under 12-h photoperiod and 400 μmol m−2 s−1 irradiance at 24/20 °C (day/night) were treated by a 5-d chilling period at 7/7 °C. Compared to TN66, TN57 exhibited a significantly greater basic Chl fluorescence (F0), maximum fluorescence (Fm), maximum fluorescence yield during actinic irradiation (Fm′ ), and the quantum efficiency of electron transport through photosystem 2, PS2 (ΦPS2). Chilling stress resulted in decrease in the potential efficiency of PS2 (Fv/Fm), ΦPS2, non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ), non-photochemical quenching (qN), and the occurrence of chilling injury in TN66. Chilling increased the likelihood of photoinhibition, characterized by a decline in the Chl fluorescence of both cultivars, and photoinhibition during low temperature stress generally occurred more rapidly in TN66.  相似文献

Since July 28th, 1997 the two experimental mini-stands of young Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] have been grown in lamellar domes at ambient (AC) and elevated concentrations of CO2 [EC, i.e., ambient + 350 µmol(CO2) mol–1]. Before the start of exposure to EC (June 1997) the dependencies of photosystem 2 (PS2) quantum yield (Y) on irradiance, estimating the efficiency of PPFD utilisation in PS2 photochemistry, were the same for AC and EC shoots. After one month of EC simulation (August 1997), Y values were higher for EC needles as compared with the AC ones (by 1–42 %), whereas two months later (October 1997) an opposite effect was observed (decrease of Y by from 1 to 33 %). By chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence induction the effects of EC on PS2 function were further characterised. During the first month a moderate improvement of PS2 function was estimated for EC needles from slightly higher potential yield of PS2 photochemistry (FV/FM, by 1 %) and reduced amount of inactive PS2 reaction centres (relative Fp1 level, by 15 %). However, the prolonged exposure to EC led firstly to a slight but significant decrease of FV/FM (by 3 %), secondly to a reduction of half time of fluorescence rise (t1/2, by 14 %), and finally to pronounced accumulation of inactive PS2 reaction centres (by 41 %). From the gradual response of individual Chl a fluorescence parameters we suggest a probable sequence of events determining the stimulation and subsequent depression of PS2 function for Norway spruce during the first season under EC.  相似文献

The F 0 and F M level fluorescence from a wild-type barley, a Chl b-less mutant barley, and a maize leaf was determined from 430 to 685 nm at 10 nm intervals using pulse amplitude-modulated (PAM) fluorimetry. Variable wavelengths of the pulsed excitation light were achieved by passing the broadband emission of a Xe flash lamp through a birefringent tunable optical filter. For the three leaf types, spectra of F V/F M (=(F M − F 0)/F M) have been derived: within each of the three spectra of F V/F M, statistically meaningful variations were detected. Also, at distinct wavelength regions, the F V/F M differed significantly between leaf types. From spectra of F V/F M, excitation spectra of PS I and PS II fluorescence were calculated using a model that considers PS I fluorescence to be constant but variable PS II fluorescence. The photosystem spectra suggest that LHC II absorption results in high values of F V/F M between 470 and 490 nm in the two wild-type leaves but the absence of LHC II in the Chl b-less mutant barley leaf decreases the F V/F M at these wavelengths. All three leaves exhibited low values of F V/F M around 520 nm which was tentatively ascribed to light absorption by PS I-associated carotenoids. In the 550–650 nm region, the F V/F M in the maize leaf was lower than in the barley wild-type leaf which is explained with higher light absorption by PS I in maize, which is a NADP-ME C4 species, than in barley, a C3 species. Finally, low values of F V/F M at 685 in maize leaf and in the Chl b-less mutant barley leaf are in agreement with preferential PS I absorption at this wavelength. The potential use of spectra of the F V/F M ratio to derive information on spectral absorption properties of PS I and PS II is discussed.  相似文献

The effect of acclimation to 25, 18, or 10° C on the relationship between photoprotection and photodamage was tested in low-light-grown (80 mol · m–2 · s–1) Ulva rotundata Blid. exposed to several higher irradiances at the acclimation temperature. Changes in chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (minimum fluorescence, F0, and the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence, Fv/Fm, measured after 5 min darkness) were monitored during 5 h transfers to 350, 850, and 1700 mol · m–2 · s–1, and during recovery after 1- or 5-h treatments. At all temperatures, rate of onset and final extent of photoinhibition, measured by a decrease in Fv/Fm, increased with increasing irradiance. At a given photoinhibitory irradiance, rate of onset was most rapid at 10 ° C, but the extent was temperature-independent. Recovery rates from mild light stress were similar at all temperatures, but recovery from the most extreme photoinhibitory treatment lagged 2 h at 10° C. De-epoxidation of xanthophyll-cycle components proceeded faster and to a lower epoxidation status at 25° C, but there was little difference in the pool size among the three growth conditions. Using chloramphenicol to inhibit chloroplast protein synthesis and dithiothreitol to inhibit violaxanthin de-epoxidation, it was shown that at the lowest light treatment given, the extent of photoinhibition could be attributed both to greater amounts of photodamage and to greater zeaxanthin-related photoprotection at 25 than at 10° C. While these two mechanisms for high-light-induced loss of photosynthetic efficiency were operating at 10° C, there was evidence for a relatively greater proportion of zeaxanthin-unrelated photoprotection at the low temperature. This photoprotective mechanism is related to a rapidly reversible increase in F0 and is insentivite to both chloramphenicol and dithiothreitol.Abbreviations and Symbol CAP chloramphenicol - DTT dihiothreitol - F0, Fm, Fv minimum, maximum, and variable fluorescence - quantum yield This research was conducted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.

The gas exchange, parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence, contents of pigments, and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), as well as lipid peroxidation were investigated in two field-grown coffee species, Coffea arabica and C. liberica, exposed to drought and re-hydration. Drought caused a more pronounced inhibition of net photosynthetic rate in C. liberica compared to C. arabica. The de-epoxidation of xanthophyll cycle pigments at midday estimated by leaf reflectance was much higher in C. arabica than in C. liberica, but no significant change was found in response to drought. Under moderate drought, the activities of SOD and APX increased significantly only in C. arabica. The maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem 2, PS2 (Fv/Fm) at predawn did not change and there was no lipid peroxidation during this time. Under severe drought Fv/Fm decreased and initial fluorescence (F0) increased for both species, and SOD activity increased, APX activity remained relatively high, and malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulated in C. arabica, while APX decreased in C. liberica. The photosynthetic apparatus of C. arabica was completely recovered after 5 d of re-irrigation as indicated by the restoration of Fv/Fm to the control values. A lack of recovery upon rewatering of C. liberica indicated irreversible damage to PS2. Hence compared to C. liberica, C. arabica possesses a higher desiccation-induced antioxidative protection and higher portion of the total pigment pool used in photoprotection, which might aid alleviating photoinhibitory damage during desiccation and photosynthesis recovery when favourable conditions are restored.The research was financially supported by the project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (KSCX2-SW-104).  相似文献

The effects of low temperature acclimation and photoinhibitory treatment on Photosystem 2 (PS 2) have been studied by thermoluminescence and chlorophyll fluorescence decay kinetics after a single turnover saturating flash. A comparison of unhardened and hardened leaves showed that, in the hardened case, a decrease in overall and B-band thermoluminescence emissions occurred, indicating the presence of fewer active PS 2 reaction centers. A modification in the form of the B-band emission was also observed and is attributed to a decrease in the apparent activation energy of recombination in the hardened leaves. The acclimated leaves also produced slower QA reoxidation kinetics as judged from the chlorophyll fluorescence decay kinetics. This change was mainly seen in an increased lifetime of the slow reoxidation component with only a small increase in its amplitude. Similar changes in both thermoluminescence and fluorescence decay kinetics were observed when unhardened leaves were given a high light photoinhibitory treatment at 4°C, whereas the hardened leaves were affected to a much lesser extent by a similar treatment. These results suggest that the acclimated plants undergo photoinhibition at 4°C even at low light intensities and that a subsequent high light treatment produces only a small additive photoinhibitory effect. Furthermore, it can be seen that photoinhibition eventually gives rise to PS 2 reaction centers which are no longer functional and which do not produce thermoluminescence or variable chlorophyll fluorescence.Abbreviations D1 The 32 kDa protein of Photosystem 2 reaction center - Fm maximum chlorophyll fluorescence yield - F0 minimal chlorophyll fluorescence yield obtained when all PS 2 centers are open - Fi intermediate fluorescence level corresponding to PS 2 centers which are loosely or not connected to plastoquinone (non-B centers) - Fv maximum variable chlorophyll fluorescence yield (Fv=Fm–F0) - PS 2 Photosystem 2 - QA and QB respectively, primary and secondary quinonic acceptors of PS 2 - S1, S2 and S3 respectively, the one, two and three positively charged states of the oxygen evolving system - Z secondary donor of PS 2  相似文献

The time courses of some Photosystem II (PS II) parameters have been monitored during in-vivo and in-vitro photoinhibition of spinach chloroplasts, at room temperature and at 10 °C or 0 °C. Exposing leaf discs of low-light grown spinach at 25 °C to high light led to photoinhibition of chloroplasts in-vivo as manifested by a parallel decrease in the number of functional PS II centres, the variable chlorophyll fluorescence at 77K (F v /F m ), and the number of atrazine-binding sites. When the photoinhibitory treatment was given at 10 °C, the former two parameters declined in parallel but the loss of atrazine-binding sites occurred more slowly and to a lesser extent. During in-vitro photoinhibition of chloroplast thylakoids at 25 °C, the loss of functional PS II centres proceeded slightly more rapidly than the loss of atrazine-binding sites, and this difference in rate was further increased when the thylakoids were photoinhibited at 0 °C. During the recovery phase of leaf discs (up to 9 h) the increases in F v /F m preceded that of the number of functional PS II centres, while only a further decline in the number of atrazine-binding sites was observed. The recovery of variable chlorophyll fluorescence and the concentration of functional PS II centres occurred more rapidly at 25 °C than at 10 °C. These results suggest that the photoinhibition of PS II function is a relatively temperature-independent early photochemical event, whereas the changes in the concentration of herbicide-binding sites appear to be a more complex biochemical process which can occur with a delayed time course.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - Chl chlorophyll - D1 32kDa herbicide-binding polypeptide in photosystem II and product of the psbA gene - D2 34kDa polypeptide in photosystem II which is the product of the psbD gene - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DCPIP 2,6-dichlorophenolin-dophenol - F 0, F v , F m chlorophyll fluorescence with reaction centres open, variable and maximum fluorescence, respectively - LDS lithium dodecyl sulfate - MES 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid - PSII photosystem II - QA, QB first and second quinone-type PS II acceptor, respectively  相似文献

Summary Recovery from winter depression of photosynthesis was studied in Pinus sylvestris, Pinus conforta and Picea abies by means of chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange measurements. During the winter 1986–1987 the fluorescence yield was low and no variable fluorescence was detectable before the end of March. In the field recovery of variable fluorescence/maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) during spring was slow for all three species studied. The temperature dependence of recovery was confirmed from measurements of the potential rate of recovery of Fv/Fm at different temperatures in the laboratory. At 20° C, Fv/Fm increased from 0.1 to 0.8 within 3 days. Recovery of Fv/Fm was paralleled by an increase in apparent photon yield. No significant differences could be demonstrated between the studied tree species in potential rate of recovery in the laboratory or in actual recovery in the field.  相似文献

Activities of oxygen evolution, fluorescence Fv (a variable part of chlorophyll fluorescence) values, and amounts of the 33 kDa protein remaining bound to the thylakoids in intact spinach chloroplasts were measured during and after high-temperature treatment. The following results were obtained. (1) Both the Fv value and the flash-induced oxygen evolution measured by an oxygen electrode were decreased at high temperatures, but they showed partial recovery when the samples were cooled down and incubated at 25°C for 5 min after high-temperature treatment. (2) Oxygen evolution was more sensitive to high temperatures than the Fv value, and the decrease in the Fv/Fm ratio at high temperatures rather corresponded to that in the oxygen evolution measured at 25°C after high-temperature treatment. (3) Photoinactivation of PS II was very rapid at high temperatures, and this seems to be a cause of the difference between the Fv values and the oxygen-evolving activities at high temperatures. (4) At around 40°C, the manganese-stabilizing 33 kDa protein of PS II was supposed to be released from the PS II core complexes during heat treatment and to rebind to the complexes when the samples were cooled down to 25°C. (5) At higher temperatures, the charge separation reaction of PS II was inactivated, and the PS II complexes became less fluorescent, which was recovered partially at 25°C. (6) Increases in the Fv value due to a large decrease in the electron flow from QA to QB became prominent after high-temperature treatment at around 50°C. This was the main cause of the discrepancy between the Fv values and the oxygen-evolving activities measured at 25°C. Relationship between the process of heat inactivation of PS II reaction center complexes and the fluorescence levels is discussed.  相似文献
