The Watersplitting System of Photosynthesis I . A
نویسنده
چکیده
For the natural donor of photosynthetic photosystem II an operational model is postulated. This model combines a definite structural pattern of two types of electron donors (octahedral arrange ment of 6 secondary donors around a primary donor) with conformational state dependent electron transfer probability. It is shown that the model provides an explanation of many experimental data, especially the kinetics of the “priming” reactions of the watersplitting system can be quantitatively described.

متن کاملBeneficial effect of titanium on plant growth, photosynthesis and nutrient trait of tomato cv. Foria
ABSTRACT- Titanium is a beneficial element for plant since its promotive effect on plant metabolism has been well documented. However, the physiological role of this trace element in tomato is not clear. This experiment was conducted as a complete randomized design to study two concentrations of titanium (1 and 2 mg/L Ti) and 0 as control on physiological and nutrient properties of tomato cv. F...

The fluorescence rise kinetics in saturating light display two well separated com ponents with largely different properties. The rapid rise from F„ to a first intermediate level, I ,, is photochemically controlled, while the following phases leading to a secondary intermediate level, I2, and to a peak level, P , are limited by thermal reactions. Treatm ents which primarily affect components at ...
متن کاملThe relationships between carbon isotope discrimination and photosynthesis and rice yield under shading
The measurement of carbon isotope discrimination (∆) provides an integrated insight into theresponse of plants to environmental change. To investigate the potential use of ∆ for identifyingshade tolerance in rice, five rice varieties were selected and artificially shaded (53% lightreduction) during the grain-filling period in 2010 and 2011, in Sichuan, China. Shadingtreatment had a significant ...
