Upon illumination of etiolated maize leaves the photoconversion of protochlorophyllide Pchlide 655/650 into chlorophyllide Chlide 684/676 was observed. It was shown that chlorophyllide Chlide 684/676 in the dark is transformed into pheophytin Pheo 679/675 and chlorophyll Chl 671/668 by means of two parallel reactions, occurring at room temperature: Chlide 684/676. The formed pheophytin Pheo 679/675 was unstable and in the dark was transformed into chlorophyll Chl 671/668 in a few seconds: Pheo 679/675 Chl 671/668. The last reaction is reversed by the light: Chl/668 Pheo 679/675. Thus, on the whole in the greening etiolated leaves this process occurs according to the following scheme:The observed light-regulated interconversion of Mg-containing and Mg-free chlorophyll analogs is activated by ATP and inhibited by AMP.Abbreviations Chl-

After preheating of Amaranthus chloroplasts at elevated temperatures (up to 45°C), the chlorophyll a fluorescence level under low excitation light rises as compared to control (unheated) as observed earlier in other chloroplasts (Schreiber U and Armond PA (1978) Biochim Biophys Acta 502: 138–151). This elevation of heat induced fluorescence yield is quenched by addition of 0.1 mM potassium ferricyanide, suggesting that with mild heat stress the primary electron acceptor of photosystem II is more easily reduced than the unheated samples. Furthermore, the level of fluorescence attained after illumination of dithionite-treated samples is independent of preheating (up to 45°C). Thus, these experiments indicate that the heat induced rise of fluorescence level at low light can not be due to changes in the elevation in the true constant F0 level, that must by definition, be independent of the concentration of QA. It is supposed that the increase in the fluorescence level by weak modulated light is either partly associated with dark reduction of QA due to exposure of chloroplasts to elevated temperature or due to temperature induced fluorescence rise in the so called inactive photosystem II centre where QA are not connected to plastoquinone pool. In the presence of dichlorophenyldimethylurea the fluorescence level triggered by weak modulated light increases at alkaline pH, both in control and heat stressed chloroplasts. This result suggests that the alkaline pH accelerates electron donation from secondary electron donor of photosystem II to QA both in control and heat stressed samples. Thus the increase in fluorescence level probed by weak modulated light due to preheating is not solely linked to increase in true F0 level, but largely associated with the shift in the redox state of QA, the primary stable electron acceptor of photosystem II.Abbreviations ADRY

Illumination of etiolated maize leaves with low-intensity light produces a chlorophyll/pheophytin-containing complex. The complex contains two native chlorophyll forms Chl 671/668 and Chl 675/668 as well as pheophytin Pheo 679/675 (with chlorophyll/pheophytin ratio of 2/1). The complex is formed in the course of two successive reactions: reaction of protochlorophyllide Pchlde 655/650 photoreduction resulted in chlorophyllide Chlde 684/676 formation, and the subsequent dark reaction of Chlde 684/676 involving Mg substitution by H2 in pigment chromophore and pigment esterification by phytol. Out data show that the reaction leading to chlorophyll/pheophytin-containing complex formation is not destructive. The reaction is in fact biosynthetic, and is competitive with the known reactions of biosynthesis of the bulk of chlorophyll molecules. The relationship between chlorophyll and pheophytin biosynthesis reactions is controlled by temperature, light intensity and exposure duration.The native complex containing pheophytin a and chlorophyll a is supposed to be a direct precursor of the PS II reaction centre in plant leaves.Abbreviations Chl

A practical microcomputerized video image analysis method is described for quantifying leaf chlorophyll content without extraction. Chlorophyll concentration is estimated from densimetric measurements of whole, intact leaves. Direct comparison with conventional extraction measurements on Epipremnum aureum, a variegated species, verified the image analysis technique's accuracy. The inherent advantages with regard to the nondestructive and convenient nature of the measurement, and suitability for leaves with irregular chlorophyll distribution, are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of non-algal turbidity on the relationship of Secchi depth to chlorophyll a 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
Owen T. Lind 《Hydrobiologia》1986,140(1):27-35
Data from four reservoirs representative of different trophic states and with different apparent optical properties were analyzed to determine the relationship of Secchi depth to algal biomass as measured by chlorophyll a. In the eutrophic reservoir Secchi depth was determined partially by the chlorophyll a content (r2 = 0.31) but only when chlorophyll a data from bloom conditions are included. In the two mesotrophic reservoirs, Secchi depth was entirely determined by non-algal turbidity. In the oligotrophic reservoir, Secchi depth was determined neither by chlorophyll a nor non-algal turbidity and was probably determined by dissolved color. When data from the four reservoirs were pooled (N = 205), 53% of the variation in Secchi depth was explained by: SD = 2.55–0.52 ln (Turbidity) + 0.005 (Chlorophyll a). It is apparent that attempts to estimate algal biomass for trophic state classification or other management practices from Secchi depth data are inappropriate even where moderate amounts of non-algal turbidity are present. 相似文献

干旱胁迫下雷竹叶片叶绿素的高光谱响应特征及含量估算 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
植物叶片的反射光谱特征与叶绿素含量密切相关。以重要的笋用竹种雷竹(Phyllostachys violascens)为研究对象,采用盆栽及控水试验方法研究了2年生雷竹在干旱胁迫条件下冠层叶片反射光谱的响应特征,分析了叶片叶绿素含量与不同波段光谱反射率一阶微分值以及光谱特征参数之间的相关关系,并以雷竹叶绿素含量敏感波段及构建的植被指数与叶绿素含量进行了拟合。结果表明,重度缺水处理后雷竹叶片叶绿素含量显著降低,在可见光区叶片光谱反射率随叶绿素含量的降低而增加,以波长493、639、693、756 nm等处的光谱反射率一阶微分值与叶绿素含量的相关性较高。雷竹叶片叶绿素含量与光谱特征参数如绿峰反射率、红谷反射率、蓝边面积、绿峰面积之间的相关性较高。与已有的植被指数相比基于雷竹叶绿素含量敏感波段修正后的植被指数与叶绿素含量相关性优于原植被指数。基于反射率一阶微分值构建的多元回归方程以及修正的绿色归一化植被指数(m GNDVI)构建的回归方程拟合效果较好,为雷竹叶绿素含量的较优估算方程。研究结果可以为雷竹叶绿素含量的快速无损测定以及季节性干旱条件下雷竹林的科学经营及灾后评估提供依据。 相似文献

A mesocosm facility is being developed by the CSIRO Division of Fisheries to study the movement, fate and impact of pollutants in coastal marine environments. Initially, we are studying coastal habitats in S.W Australia that are subject to wave action. A 12 week experiment assessed changes in biotic and abiotic components of sediment brought from the field into mesocosms. In these sediments, benthic microalgae are the major primary producers. Microalgal standing stocks were measured as the concentration of chlorophyll a and phaeopigments in the top 2 cm of sediment, and these measures were compared among mesocosms and field sites. Significant increases in chlorophyll a and phaeopigments, increased numbers of species and a shift from episammic to periphytic diatoms were observed, possibly caused by decreased water motion in mesocosms or other containment effects. Results from statistical power analyses suggested that our sampling was sufficiently well replicated and successfully incorporated variation at small spatial and temporal scales. Sampling effort used in this experiment should form the basis for future work with benthic microalgae. 相似文献

Extraction of chlorophyll a from freshwater phytoplankton for spectrophotometric analysis 总被引:15,自引:7,他引:8
The efficiency of pigment extraction forms the crux of the spectrophotometric analysis of chlorophyll a. The alcoholic solvents, methanol and ethanol, proved to be superior to acetone and acetone with DMSO. Homogenisation and sonication did not improve the extraction in the alcoholic solvents. Boiling at 100°C had an adverse effect whereas complete extraction of the pigments was obtained at the solvents boiling point and allowing the samples to stand for 24 h in the dark. 相似文献

Reversible photoinhibition of unhardened and cold-acclimated spinach leaves at chilling temperatures 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
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

Two Mediterranean littoral systems of Mallorca Island have been studied using planktonic chlorophyll a (total concentration and seasonal variations) as trophic indicator. The studied systems are quite different in geomorphology, physicochemical trends and anthropic incidence. S'Albufera-Alcudia Bay is the drainage outlet of a coastal marsh, with a salt wedge estuarine regime. Andratx Harbour is a narrow bay affected by a high anthropic incidence due to the presence of a small fishing port and mainly a large leisure harbour. Both systems are affected by a typical Mediterranean climate and a negligible tide incidence. The present work is based on several year monitoring of physical, chemical and biological water parameters. In S'Albufera-Alcudia Bay, Chl a concentration ranged from 0.01 to 17.10 mg m–3, the values dropping from the inland site to the sea. The phytoplankton biomass gradient takes its origin in physical and chemical differences. The variance is mainly related to the inland-sea water axis. Nitrogen and silica enriched inland waters are the main source of eutrophication, hence their relation with Chl a. These nutrients entering the Albufera are mainly derived from leaching from farmed soils. The transition from an inland eutrophic system to an oligotrophic marine one show the filter character of these coastal marshes. In Andratx Harbour, Chl a ranged from a non detectable concentration to 6.36 mg m–3. The ultraplankton (<5 m) was the most important contributor to total concentration. The ultraplankton in this system is related to influence of more oligotrophic open seawater. A greater proportion of microplankton (>20 m) is related both to higher nutrient concentrations and a higher water column stability. In Andratx Harbour, the enclosure state seems very important for development of phytoplankton blooms. 相似文献

The relationship between total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentration was determined for Skinner Lake, Indiana over an annual cycle in 1978–79. Total nitrogen:total phosphorus ratios in the epilimnion ranged from 19 to 220 suggesting a phosphorus-dependent algal yield in the epilimnion. Approximately 90% of annual TP loading reached the lake via streamflow, and 93% of this entered during snowmelt and spring-overturn periods. At that time incoming water flushed the lake 2.4 times. Atmospheric loading accounted for 1.4% of annual TP load. Internal hypolimnetic TP loading occurred during summer stratification. Mean [chl a] for the ice-free period was 15.15 mg m–3, within the range expected for eutrophic lakes.The 1978–79 data were used in conjuction with the Vollenweider & Kerekes (1980) model to produce a model specific for the Skinner Lake system. The model predicted mean epilimnetic total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations from mean total phosphorus concentration in inlet streams and from lake water residence time during the period of spring overturn and summer stratification. The Skinner-specific model was tested in 1982 and it closely predicted observed mean epilimnetic [TP] and [chl a] during the ice-free period. This study shows that variability in lake models which average data over an annual period can be reduced by considering lake-specific seasonal variation in hydrology and external TP loading. 相似文献

Chloroplasts of a chlorophyll (Chl) b-less barley mutant were solubilized with digitonin and fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with sodium deoxycholate in the running buffer. By this procedure, in contrast to using sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) for solubilization, a Chl a-protein analogous to the major light-harvesting Chl a-b protein complex from wildtype chloroplasts was recovered. This mutant Chl a-protein comprises about fifty percent of the total Chl a, and is very similar in carotenoid, amino acid, protein and polypeptide composition to the major wildtype antenna Chl a-b protein. The only major differences we have found is its instability in the presence of SDS and sensitivity to protease action. Even with deoxycholate, the mutant Chl a complex often dissociates during electrophoresis into two green bands. The lack of Chl b appears to affect the normal organization of Chl a and protein in such a way as to render the complex more unstable.CIW-DPB No. 917. 相似文献

A method for the estimation of chlorophyll turnover in wheat leaves is presented. This is based on the inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis by treatment of the cut leaves with laevulinic acid (LA), a competitive inhibitor of δ-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase. The turnover of chlorophyll in young, greening leaves, given short periods of light was a relatively rapid process. However, in seedlings exposed to light for longer periods the turnover became progressively slower, and was measured in days rather than hours. 相似文献

Induction of chlorophyll a fluorescence and photosynthesis as affected by temperature were measured in cucumber leaf discs. Abrupt changes of the maximal variable fluorescence, Fv(p), and photosynthesis were observed around 9° and 21°C when the temperature was decreased from 30° to 0°C. The temperature-dependent maximal fluorescence of DCMU-treated leaf discs showed a single change around 21°C. Temperature-induced chlorophyll a fluorescence alterations are discussed in relation to electron transport activity of the two photosystems and photosynthetic activity of the cucumber leaf discs.Abbreviations DCMU

The effect of chlorophyll content on changes of photochemical reactions in intact kidney bean leaves
Abstract. Activation spectra of photochemical reactions were measured by a flash spectrophotometer in leaves having varying chlorophyll contents at different stages of greening. The increase of chlorophyll concentration up to 30 nmol cm-2 elevated the rates of photochemical reactions at all wavelengths of light used, and was found to be produced by an increase in the amounts of reaction centres. Further accumulation of chlorophyll up to 40 nmol cm-2 was associated with an increase in light-harvesting chlorophyll, an improved rate of photochemical reactions around 600 nm and at 700 nm, and self-absorption and screening effects where chlorophyll absorbed maximally (400–450 nm and around 680 nm). 相似文献

Degradation of chlorophyll was inhibited in the dark in detached leaves floating on neutral EDTA solutions, but was stimulated in the light. Salts of inorganic and organic acids, surface active agents and herbicides, in different ranges of concentrations, likewise prevented breakdown of chlorophyll in the dark and caused it to be photo-oxidised in the light. Kinins inhibited degradation in the dark but did not promote bleaching in illuminated leaves. 相似文献

Using spectral methods, the biosynthesis of protochlorophyll(ide) and chlorophyll(ide) in green plant leaves was studied. The main chlorophyll precursors in the green leaves (as in etiolated leaves) were photoactive photocholorophyll(ide) forms Pchl(ide)655/650(448) and Pchl(ide)653/648(440). The contributions into Chl biosynthesis of the shorter-wavelength precursor forms ,which were accumulated in darkened green leaves as well, were completely absent (of Pchl(ide) 633/628(440)) or insignificant (of Pchl(ide)642/635(444)). 相似文献

In Patella vulgata and Helix aspersa which had been killed by exposure to high temperatuers, the rates of oxygen consumption of gill, foot muscle and hepatopancreas are remarkably steady when measured at lower temperatures, although the absolute levels are in some cases different from normal animals. These tissues are thus substantially metabolically intact in heat dead individuals. In Helix there is a fall in blood sodium and a rise in blood potassium during heat death. In Patella there is a marked rie in blood Na+ and a consequent disturbance of the Na+/K+ ratio. These ionic disturbances are thought to be a prime cause of heat death. The significance of the results is discussed. 相似文献
