    The kinetics of P-700+ reduction in leaves: a novel in situ probe of thylakoid functioning (1989)

    Notes: Abstract. The half time (t1/2) of the reduction of P-700+ in the millisecond time frame is known to be limited by the reaction between plastoquinol and the cytochrome cytb6f complex. This is considered to be the rate limiting reaction of thylakoid electron transport and measurements of it provide a means of analysing how thylakoid election transport is regulated in vivo. The half time for the reduction of photochemically oxidized P-700 has been measured in vivo using absorbance changes around 820 nm. The results showed that t1/2 is independent of irradiance and decreases as photosynthetic induction progresses. Even with a constant t1/2 the quantum efficiency of PSI declined as irradiance increased. The significance of the concept of photosynthetic control of electron transport is discussed in the light of these observations.

    The use of light-induced absorbance changes at 820 nm to monitor the oxidation state of P-700 in leaves (1987)

    Notes: Abstract The use of the light-induced absorbance change at 820 nm (ΔA 820) to monitor the oxidation and reduction of P-700 in irradiated leaves is examined. Results obtained from leaves irradiated with a range of wavelengths of light, poisoned with DCMU, or lacking PS I, are consistent with the proposition that the light-induced ΔA 820 can be used to monitor P-700 oxidation in leaves.

    Acclimation of photosynthesis, H2O2 content and antioxidants in maize (Zea mays) grown at sub-optimal temperatures (1999)

    Notes: Maize plants were grown at 14, 18 and 20 °C until the fourth leaf had emerged. Leaves from plants grown at 14 and 18 °C had less chlorophyll than those grown at 20 °C. Maximal extractable ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity was decreased at 14 °C compared with 20 °C, but the activation state was highest at 14 °C. Growth at 14 °C increased the abundance (but not the number) of Rubisco breakdown products. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity was decreased at 14 °C compared with 20 °C but no chilling-dependent effects on the abundance of the PEPC protein were observed. Maximal extractable NADP-malate dehydrogenase activity increased at 14 °C compared with 20 °C whereas the glutathione pool was similar in leaves from plants grown at both temperatures. Foliar ascorbate and hydrogen peroxide were increased at 14 °C compared with 20 °C. The foliar hydrogen peroxide content was independent of irradiance at both growth temperatures. Plants grown at 14 °C had decreased rates of CO2 fixation together with decreased quantum efficiencies of photosystem (PS) II in the light, although there was no photo-inhibition. Growth at 14 °C decreased the abundance of the D1 protein of PSII and the PSI psaB gene product but the psaA gene product was largely unaffected by growth at low temperatures. The relationships between the photosystems and the co-ordinate regulation of electron transport and CO2 assimilation were maintained in plants grown at 14 °C.

    Notes: Summary The apoplast of barley and oat leaves contained superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase activities. The activities of these enzymes in the apoplastic extracts were greatly modified 24 h after inoculation with the biotrophic fungal pathogenBlumeria graminis. The quantum efficiency of photosystem II, which is related to photosynthetic electron transport flux, was comparable in inoculated and healthy leaves during this period. Apoplastic soluble acid invertase activity was also modified in inoculated leaves. Inoculation-dependent increases in apoplastic SOD activity were observed in all lines. Major bands of SOD activity, observed in apoplastic protein extracts by activity staining of gels following isoelectric focusing, were similar to those observed in whole leaves but two additional minor bands were found in the apoplastic fraction. The apoplastic extracts contained substantial amounts of dehydroascorbate (DHA) but little or no glutathione (GSH). Biotic stress decreased apoplastic ascorbate and DHA but increased apoplastic GSH in resistant lines. The antioxidant cycle enzymes may function to remove apoplastic H2O2 with ascorbate and GSH derived from the cytoplasm. DHA and oxidized glutathione may be reduced in the apoplast or returned to the cytosol for rereduction.
