Brassinosteroids are promising agents for alleviating the negative effects of salinity on plants, but the mechanism of their protective action is far from being understood. We investigated the effect of pretreatment with 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) on the photosynthetic and physiological parameters
Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were performed on osmotically lysed potato chloroplasts in order to characterize the reactions involved in the dark reduction of photosynthetic inter-system chain electron carriers. Addition of NADH or NADPH to lysed chloroplasts increased the chlorophyll
1. Thylakoid membranes and subchloroplast particles I and II enriched in photosystem I and photosystem II, respectively, were treated with a potato lipolytic acyl hydrolase. 2. In the thylakoid membrane fraction, this treatment inhibited electron flows involving both photosystems and the associated
Increases in the chlorophyll fluorescence F(o) (dark level fluorescence) during heat treatments were studied in various higher plants. Besides the dissociation of light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complexes from the reaction center complex of PS II and inactivation of PS II, dark reduction of
When 23°C-grown potato leaves (Solanum tuberosum L.) were exposed for 15 min to elevated temperatures in weak light, a dramatic and preferential inactivation of Photosystem (PS) II was observed at temperatures higher than about 38°C. In vivo photoacoustic measurements indicated that, concomitantly
