Photochemical and Non-Photochemical Quenching of Chlorophyll Fluorescence Induced by Hydrogen Peroxide
Chlorophyll fluorescence quenching induced by H 20 2 in intact spinach chloroplasts was investi gated with a modulation fluorometer which allows to distinguish between photochemical and non photochemical quenching com ponents by the so-called saturation pulse method. Residual catalase activity was removed by washing and percoll gradient centrifugation. H 20 2 was found to induce pronounced ph...
متن کاملIs PsbS the site of non-photochemical quenching in photosynthesis?
The PsbS protein of photosystem II functions in the regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting. Along with a low thylakoid lumen pH and the presence of de-epoxidized xanthophylls, PsbS is necessary for photoprotective thermal dissipation (qE) of excess absorbed light energy in plants, measured as non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence. What is known about PsbS in relation to...
متن کاملA kinetic model of non-photochemical quenching in cyanobacteria.
High light poses a threat to oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. Similar to eukaryotes, cyanobacteria evolved a photoprotective mechanism, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), which dissipates excess absorbed energy as heat. An orange carotenoid protein (OCP) has been implicated as a blue-green light sensor that induces NPQ in cyanobacteria. Discovered in vitro, this process involves a light-induc...
متن کاملNon-Photochemical Quenching Capacity in Arabidopsis thaliana Affects Herbivore Behaviour
Under natural conditions, plants have to cope with numerous stresses, including light-stress and herbivory. This raises intriguing questions regarding possible trade-offs between stress defences and growth. As part of a program designed to address these questions we have compared herbivory defences and damage in wild type Arabidopsis thaliana and two "photoprotection genotypes", npq4 and oePsbS...
متن کاملTransient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana for rapid functional analysis of genes involved in non‐photochemical quenching and carotenoid biosynthesis
Plants must switch rapidly between light harvesting and photoprotection in response to environmental fluctuations in light intensity. This switch can lead to losses in absorbed energy usage, as photoprotective energy dissipation mechanisms can take minutes to hours to fully relax. One possible way to improve photosynthesis is to engineer these energy dissipation mechanisms (measured as non-phot...
