    Notes: Leaves of the CAM plant Cotyledon orbiculata produced a dense epidermal wax which decreased the absorption of light, possibly functioning as an external photoprotective mechanism (Robinson et al. 1993). However, developing leaves did not accumulate wax until after 21 d with full wax coating not achieved until at least 35 d. In addition, young leaves had lower rates of electron transport than mature leaves. Leaf development therefore occurs at higher incident PFD than that experienced by the mature leaves, and, for young leaves, can lead to an increase in the proportion of light energy which is excess to requirements and must be dissipated non-photochemically. Changes in the photosynthetic capacity, PSII efficiency, rate of energy dissipation, and the content of chlorophyll (Chi), carotenoids, wax and anthocyanins were followed in developing leaves of C. orbiculata in an attempt to elucidate the relative importance of the various photoprotective mechanisms during leaf ontogeny. The largest pools of xanthophyll cycle pigments (on a Chi basis) were found in the waxless, young leaves and were correlated with greater levels of energy dissipation activity. The importance of xanthophyll cycle-dependent energy dissipation in young C. orbiculata leaves prior to development of a reflective wax covering, and full photosynthetic capacity which for CAM plants includes appreciable nocturnal acid accumulation, is discussed. Also, we consider the possibility that anthocyanin pigments in the upper and lower epidermis may increase reflectivity and act as external photoprotectants.

    Notes: The consequences of biotic stress have been poorly understood, partly because its application is difficult to control and partly because its physiological consequences are highly variable. Many plant viruses are recognised on the basis of leaf symptoms that depend on localised changes to chloroplast structure and function. This paper reviews recent progress in understanding early interactions between plant viruses and the photosynthetic apparatus, using chlorophyll fluorescence analysis of novel, defined algal-virus systems and using high resolution imaging of chlorophyll fluorescence and other photosynthetic processes in higher plant systems. We then consider the consequences of viral effects on photosynthetic functioning for whole plants and populations with an emphasis on the potential interactions with other environmental factors. Early responses indicated by increase in both non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence and increased reduction state of the primary electron transport acceptor QA suggest that, not surprisingly, both photoprotective and photoinhibitory processes contribute to the accelerated local demise of the photosynthetic apparatus and symptom development. In other cases, localised accumulations of carbohydrate and source-sink imbalance following infection may inhibit gene expression, leading to altered levels of chloroplast protein complexes and enzymes of photosynthetic metabolism coincident with symptom development. Recent experiments suggest that much of the variability in plant responses to biotic stress may result from interactions with other environmental factors, such as light intensity and nutrition. Experiments suggest that virus infections may have greater effects on fitness and competitive ability in low N, high light environments than in shaded, high nutrient conditions. Some ecological implications of these observations are discussed.

    Notes: In this study the variations in surface reflectance properties and pigment concentrations of Antarctic moss over species, sites, microtopography and with water content were investigated. It was found that species had significantly different surface reflectance properties, particularly in the region of the red edge (approximately 700 nm), but this did not correlate strongly with pigment concentrations. Surface reflectance of moss also varied in the visible region and in the characteristics of the red edge over different sites. Reflectance parameters, such as the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) and cold hard band were useful discriminators of site, microtopographic position and water content. The PRI was correlated both with the concentrations of active xanthophyll-cycle pigments and the photosynthetic light use efficiency, Fv/Fm, measured using chlorophyll fluorescence. Water content of moss strongly influenced the amplitude and position of the red-edge as well as the PRI, and may be responsible for observed differences in reflectance properties for different species and sites. All moss showed sustained high levels of photoprotective xanthophyll pigments, especially at exposed sites, indicating moss is experiencing continual high levels of photochemical stress.

    Notes: Light effects on electron flow through the cyanide-resistant respiratory pathway, oxygen isotope fractionation and total respiration were studied in soybean (Glycine max L.) cotyledons. During the first 12 h of illumination there was an increase in both electron partitioning through the alternative pathway and oxygen isotope fractionation by the alternative oxidase. The latter probably indicates a change in the properties of the alternative oxidase. There was no engagement of the alternative oxidase in darkness and its fractionation was 27‰. In green cotyledons 60% of the respiration flux was through the alternative pathway and the alternative oxidase fractionation was 32‰. Exposing previously illuminated tissue to continuous darkness induced a decrease in the electron partitioning through the alternative pathway. However, this decrease was not directly linked with the low cellular sugar concentration resulting from the lack of light because 5 min of light every 12 h was sufficient to keep the alternative pathway engaged to the same extent as plants grown under control conditions.
