Structural Modifications of the Photosynthetic Apparatus in the Region of Photosystem I in Nicotiana tabacum as a Consequence of an Increased C 0 2-Content of the Atmosphere
Nicotiana tabacum was grown with a C 0 2-content in the atm osphere of 350 ppm and 700 ppm. A fter three weeks of growth in the respective atm osphere we were able to show that chloroplasts from plants grown under 700 ppm C 0 2 exhibited an 18% higher pho to system I-m ediated electron transport activity. Furtherm ore, we were able to show that in plants grown under the higher C Ö 2-concentra...
متن کاملAltered chloroplast structure and function in a mutant of Arabidopsis deficient in plastid glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity.
Mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana deficient in plastid glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity have altered chloroplast membrane lipid composition. This caused an increase in the number of regions of appressed membrane per chloroplast and a decrease in the average number of thylakoid membranes in the appressed regions. The net effect was a significant decrease in the ratio of appressed to n...

متن کاملStructure and dynamics of thylakoids in land plants.
Thylakoids of land plants have a bipartite structure, consisting of cylindrical grana stacks, made of membranous discs piled one on top of the other, and stroma lamellae which are helically wound around the cylinders. Protein complexes predominantly located in the stroma lamellae and grana end membranes are either bulky [photosystem I (PSI) and the chloroplast ATP synthase (cpATPase)] or are in...
متن کاملOverwintering Periwinkle (Vinca minor L.) Exhibits Increased Photosystem I Activity.
The effects of natural, overwintering conditions on photosystem I and photosystem II activity were examined in isolated thylakoids of periwinkle (Vinca minor L.), an endemic, cold-tolerant, herbaceous evergreen. DCMU-Insensitive photosystem I activity (ascorbate/dichlorophenolindophenol --> methylviologen) exhibited a twofold increase in light-saturated rates upon exposure to low temperature an...
