Enrichment of cardiolipin content throughout the purification procedure of photosystem II.

چکیده
Photosystem II is a multisubunit membrane complex which performs the water oxidation process in the higher plants. Core dimers and monomers of photosystem II have been isolated from thylakoid membranes by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Lipids extracted from different photosystem II-enriched fractions obtained from spinach thylakoids have been analysed by thin layer chromatography. Cardiolipin is enriched throughout the purification of photosystem II complexes; in particular dimers contained two times more cardiolipin than their monomeric counterparts.

Interveinal chlorosis induced by iron deficiency is considered to be one of the problems in rose production in greenhouses all over the world. This experiment was conducted to elucidate the capability of chlorophyll fluorescence imaging technique to recognize early iron deficiency and also determination of relationship between leaf iron concentration and leaf chlorophyll content index and photo...
متن کاملImpact of Salinity Stress on Photochemical Efficiency of Photosystem II, Chlorophyll Content and Nutrient Elements of Nitere Bush (Nitraria schoberi L.) Plants
Salinity is one of major stresses which can severely limit plant production, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions. The present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of salinity stress on some physio-biochemical parameters in nitre bush plants (Nitraria schoberi). Thus, an experiment was carried out under natural conditions and salinity stress was induced by a combination of diffe...

A method is reported for the isolation of a highly resolved oxygen-evolving photosystem II reaction center preparation. This preparation can be separated from the more complex photosystem II membranes isolated by the procedure of Berthold et al. [(1981) FEBS Lett. 134, 231-2341 by use of octylglucopyranoside at elevated ionic strengths; the oxygen-evolving material can be collected by centrifug...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress on chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) characteristics of photosystem II (PSII) and pigment contents in two rootstock seedlings (Pistacia atlantica L. and P. khinjuk L.). Three levels of soil water potential (Ψs) was used, including WWD (-0.05 MPa), MWD (-0.7 MPa) and SWD (-1.5 MPa). It was found that water stress increased the...
