Abstract: | In the present communication we report a spectral analysis of the blue-green fluorescence related to changes in NAD(P) redox state in chloroplasts and leaves. To assess the contribution of reabsorption and the inner filter effect, we compared transmission and fluorescence at different chloroplast concentrations, and showed that reabsorption by the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) was at the origin of the two peaks in the emission spectrum in vivo. The absence of potential green-emitting fluorophores in chloroplasts was determined by measuring variable and time-resolved fluorescence at different wavelengths. We defined the conditions which optimize the UV-excited blue-green fluorescence signal dependent on NAD(P)H, and we present an example of monitoring of NAD(P)H fluorescence in intact leaves. |
