Kaolin Film Increases Gas Exchange Parameters of Coffee Seedlings During Transference From Nursery to Full Sunlight. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 12:784482. [PMID: 35069643 PMCID: PMC8777232 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.784482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Increases in water use efficiency (WUE) and the reduction of negative impacts of high temperatures associated with high solar radiation are being achieved with the application of fine particle film of calcined and purified kaolin (KF) on the leaves and fruits of various plant species. KF was applied on young Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora plants before their transition from nursery to full sunlight during autumn and summer. The effects of KF were evaluated through the responses of leaf temperature (Tleaf), net CO2 assimilation rate (A), stomatal conductance (g s), transpiration (E), WUE, crop water stress index (CWSI), index of relative stomatal conductance (Ig), initial fluorescence (F0), and photosynthetic index (PI) in the first 2-3 weeks after the plant transitions to the full sun. All measurements were performed at midday. In Coffea plants, KF decreased the Tleaf up to 6.7°C/5.6°C and reduced the CWSI. The plants that were not protected with KF showed lower A, g s, E, and Ig than those protected with KF. C. canephora plants protected with KF achieved higher WUE compared with those not protected by 11.23% in autumn and 95.58% in summer. In both Coffea sp., KF application reduced F0, indicating reduced physical dissociation of the PSII reaction centers from the light-harvesting system, which was supported with increased PI. The use of KF can be recommended as a management strategy in the transition of Coffea seedlings from the nursery shade to the full sunlight, to protect leaves against the excessive solar radiation and high temperatures, especially in C. canephora during the summer.

Zheng Y, Xia Z, Wu J, Ma H. Effects of repeated drought stress on the physiological characteristics and lipid metabolism of Bombax ceiba L. during subsequent drought and heat stresses. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2021; 21:467.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trees of Bombax ceiba L. could produce a large number of viable seeds in the dry-hot valleys. However, the seedling regeneration of the species is difficult in these areas as mild drought often occur repeatedly which might be followed by heat stress. However, how the repeated drought affects the subsequent drought and heat tolerance of B. ceiba is not clear. In this study, chlorophyll fluorescence, soluble sugar content and lipid metabolism were measured for the drought-treated seedlings and heat-treated seedlings with or without drought hardening. RESULTS Neither the first nor third dehydration treatments affected the photosynthetic activity and soluble sugar content of B. ceiba seedlings. However, they differentially affected the fluidity of the local membranes and the levels of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. Heat shock severely decreased the photosynthetic efficiency but drought priming reduced the effects of heat shock. Moreover, heat shock with or without drought priming had differential effects on the metabolism of soluble sugars and some lipids. In addition, the unsaturation level of membrane glycerolipids increased following heat shock for non-drought-hardened seedlings which, however, maintained for drought-hardened seedlings. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that two cycles of dehydration/recovery can affect the metabolism of some lipids during the third drought stress and may enhance the heat tolerance of B. ceiba by adjusting lipid composition and membrane fluidity.

Abstract
Our search for candidates for photosynthesis inhibitors is allowing us to report the effect of two acetogenins identified in Annona coriacea Mart. leaves, ACG-A and ACG-B, a non-adjacent bis-THF and a mono-THF types, respectively. This is an important class of natural products which presents biological properties such as anticancer, neurotoxic, larvicidal and insecticidal. However, this is only the second report associated to its herbicidal activity. Their mechanisms of action on the light reactions of the photosynthesis were elucidated by polarographic techniques. Compounds inhibited the noncyclic electron transport on basal, phosphorylating, and uncoupled conditions from H2 O to methyl viologen (MV); therefore, they act as Hill reaction inhibitors. Studies on fluorescence of chlorophyll a (ChL a) indicated that they inhibited the acceptor side of PSII between P680 and PQ-pool, exactly as the commercial herbicide DCMU does.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Provides Insights Into Yellow Rind Formation and Preliminary Mapping of the Clyr ( Yellow Rind) Gene in Watermelon. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2020; 11:192.

Abstract
As an important appearance trait, the rind color of watermelon fruit affects the commodity value and further determines consumption choices. In this study, a comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted to elucidate the genes and pathways involved in the formation of yellow rind fruit in watermelon using a yellow rind inbred line WT4 and a green rind inbred line WM102. A total of 2,362 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between WT4 and WM102 at three different stages (0, 7, and 14 DAP) were identified and 9,770 DEGs were obtained by comparing the expression level at 7 DAP and 14 DAP with the former stages of WT4. The function enrichment of DEGs revealed a number of pathways and terms in biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions that were related to plant pigment metabolism, suggesting that there may be a group of common core genes regulating rind color formation. In addition, next-generation sequencing aided bulked-segregant analysis (BSA-seq) of the yellow rind pool and green rind pool selected from an F2 population revealed that the yellow rind gene (Clyr) was mapped on the top end of chromosome 4. Based on the BSA-seq analysis result, Clyr was further confined to a region of 91.42 kb by linkage analysis using 1,106 F2 plants. These results will aid in identifying the key genes and pathways associated with yellow rind formation and elucidating the molecular mechanism of rind color formation in watermelon.

Abstract
Water deficit (WD) is expected to increase in intensity, frequency and duration in many parts of the world as a consequence of global change, with potential negative effects on plant gas exchange and growth. We review here the parameters that can be derived from measurements made on leaves, in the field, and that can be used to assess the effects of WD on the components of plant photosynthetic rate, including stomatal conductance, mesophyll conductance, photosynthetic capacity, light absorbance, and efficiency of absorbed light conversion into photosynthetic electron transport. We also review some of the parameters related to dissipation of excess energy and to rerouting of electron fluxes. Our focus is mainly on the techniques of gas exchange measurements and of measurements of chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF), either alone or combined. But we put also emphasis on some of the parameters derived from analysis of the induction phase of maximal ChlF, notably because they could be used to assess damage to photosystem II. Eventually we briefly present the non-destructive methods based on the ChlF excitation ratio method which can be used to evaluate non-destructively leaf contents in anthocyanins and flavonols.

Abstract
The understorey origin of coffee trees and the strong plasticity of Coffea arabica leaves in relation to contrasting light environments have been largely shown. The adaptability of coffee leaves to changes in light was tested under controlled conditions by increasing the illumination rate on C. arabica var. Naryelis seedlings acclimated to low light conditions and observing leaf responses at three different developmental stages (juvenile, growing and mature). Only mature leaves proved capable of adapting to new light conditions. In these leaves, different major mechanisms were found to contribute to maintaining a good photosynthetic level. With increased illumination, a high photosynthetic response was conserved thanks to fast nitrogen remobilization, as indicated by SPAD values and the photorespiration rate. Efficient photoprotection was accompanied by a great ability to export sucrose, which prevented excessive inhibition of the Calvin cycle by hexose accumulation. In contrast, in younger leaves, increased illumination caused photodamage, observable even after 9 days of treatment. One major finding was that young coffee leaves rely on the accumulation of chlorogenic acids, powerful antioxidant phenolic compounds, to deal with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species rather than on antioxidant enzymes. Due to a lack of efficient photoprotection, a poor ability to export sucrose and inadequate antioxidant protection, younger leaves seemed to be unable to cope with increased illumination. In these leaves, an absence of induced antioxidant enzyme activity was accompanied, in growing leaves, by an absence of antioxidant synthesis or, in juvenile leaves, inefficient synthesis of flavonoids because located in some epidermis cells. These observations showed that coffee leaves, at the beginning of their development, are not equipped to withstand quick switches to higher light levels. Our results confirm that coffee trees, even selected for full sunlight conditions, remain shade plants possessing leaves able to adapt to higher light levels only when mature.

Abstract
Thermoluminescence of intact photosynthetic organisms, leaves or algal cells, raises specific problems. The constitutive S2/3Q B (-) B bands constitute major probes of the state of photosystem II in vivo. The presence of a dark-stable acidic lumen causes a temperature downshift of B bands, specially the S3 B band, providing a lumen pH indicator. This is accompanied by a broadening of the S3 B band that becomes an envelope of elementary B bands. The occasional AT, Q and C bands are briefly examined in an in vivo context. It is emphasized that freezing below the nucleation temperature is not necessary for physiological studies, but a source of artefacts, hence should be avoided. In intact photosynthetic structures, a dark-electron transfer from stroma reductants to the quinonic acceptors of photosystem II via the cyclic/chlororespiratory pathways, strongly stimulated by moderate warming, gives rise to the afterglow (AG) luminescence emission that reflects chloroplast energy status. The decomposition of complex TL signals into elementary bands is necessary to determine the maximum temperature T m and the area of each of them. A comparison of TL signals after 1 flash and 2 flashes prevents from confusing the three main bands observed in vivo, i.e. the S2 and S3 B bands and the AG band. Finally, the thermoluminescence bands arising sometimes above 50 °C are mentioned. The basic principles of (thermo)luminescence established on isolated thylakoids should not be applied directly without a careful examination of in vivo conditions.

Abstract
Modern highly insulated greenhouses are more energy efficient than conventional types. Furthermore applying dynamic greenhouse climate control regimes will increase energy efficiency relatively more in modern structures. However, this combination may result in higher air and crop temperatures. Too high temperature affects the plant photosynthetic responses, resulting in a lower rate of photosynthesis. To predict and analyse physiological responses as stress indicators, two independent experiments were conducted, to detect the effect of high temperature on photosynthesis: analysing photosystem II (PSII) and stomatal conductance (gs). A combination of chlorophyll a fluorescence, gas exchange measurements and infrared thermography was applied using Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) 'Coral Charm' as a model species. Increasing temperature had a highly significant effect on PSII when the temperature exceeded 38 °C for a period of 7 (±1.8) days. High temperature decreased the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), the conformation term for primary photochemistry (Fv/Fo) and performance index (PI), as well as increased minimal fluorescence (Fo). However, at elevated CO2 of 1000 μmol mol(-1) and with a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 800 μmol m(-2) s(-1), net photosynthesis (Pn) reached its maximum at 35 °C. The thermal index (IG), calculated from the leaf temperature and the temperature of a dry and wet reference leaf, showed a strong correlation with gs. We conclude that 1) chlorophyll a fluorescence and a combination of fluorescence parameters can be used as early stress indicators as well as to detect the temperature limit of PSII damage, and 2) the strong relation between gs and IG enables gs to be estimated non-invasively, which is an important first step in modelling leaf temperature to predict unfavourable growing conditions in a (dynamic) semi closed greenhouse.

Abstract
The photosystem II antenna of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is composed of monomeric and trimeric complexes, the latter encoded by LHCBM genes. We employed artificial microRNA technology to specifically silence the LHCBM2 and LHCBM7 genes, encoding identical mature polypeptides, and the LHCBM1 gene. As a control, we studied the npq5 mutant, deficient in the LHCBM1 protein. The organization of LHCII complexes, functional antenna size, capacity for photoprotection, thermal energy dissipation and state transitions, and resistance to reactive oxygen species was studied in the various genotypes. Silencing of the LHCBM2/7 genes resulted in a decrease of an LHCII protein with an apparent molecular mass of 22 kDa, whereas silencing/lack of LHCBM1 caused the decrease/disappearance of a 23-kDa protein. A decrease in the abundance of trimeric LHCII complexes and in functional antenna size was observed in both LHCBM2/7 and LHCBM1 knockouts. In agreement with previous data, depletion of LHCBM1 decreased the capacity for excess energy dissipation but not the ability to perform state transitions. The opposite was true for LHCBM2/7, implying that this polypeptide has a different functional role from LHCBM1. The abundance of LHCBM1 and LHCBM2/7 is in both cases correlated with resistance to superoxide anion, whereas only LHCBM1 is also involved in singlet oxygen scavenging. These results suggest that different LHCBM components have well defined, non-redundant functions despite their high homology, implying that engineering of LHCBM proteins can be an effective strategy for manipulating the light harvesting system of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Abstract
Plants are often submitted, in their natural environment, to various abiotic stresses such as heat stress. However, elevated temperature has a detrimental impact on overall plant growth and development. We have examined the physiological response of the dgd1-2 and dgd1-3 Arabidopsis mutants lacking 30-40% of digalactosyl-diacylglycerol (DGDG) exposed to heat constraint. These mutants, which grow similarly to wild type under normal conditions, were previously reported to be defective in basal thermotolerance as measured by cotyledon development. However their functional properties were not described. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements and absorbance changes at 820nm were used to monitor photosystem II (PSII) and PSI activity, respectively. It was observed that both mutants have similar photosystem activities with some differences. The mutants were less able to use near saturation light energy and elicited higher rates of cyclic PSI electron flow compare to wild type. Arabidopsis leaves exposed to short-term (5min) mild (40°C) or strong (44°C) heat treatment have shown a decline in the operating effective quantum yield of PSII and in the proportion of active PSI reaction centers. However, cyclic PSI electron flow was enhanced. The establishment of the energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence was accelerated but its decline under illumination was inhibited. Furthermore, heat stress affected the process implicated in the redistribution of light excitation energy between the photosystems known as the light state transitions. All the effects of heat stress mentioned above were more intense in the mutant leaves with dgd1-3 being even more susceptible. The decreased DGDG content of the thylakoid membranes together with other lipid changes are proposed to influence the thermo-sensitivity of the light reactions of photosynthesis towards heat stress.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOENERGETICS 2010; 1807:22-9.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the effect of high temperature stress on the heterogeneous behavior of PSII in Wheat (Triticum aestivum) leaves. Photosystem II in green plant chloroplasts displays heterogeneity both in the composition of its light harvesting antenna i.e. on the basis of antenna size (α, β and γ centers) and in the ability to reduce the plastoquinone pool i.e. the reducing side of the reaction centers (Q(B)-reducing centers and Q(B)-non-reducing centers). Detached wheat leaves were subjected to high temperature stress of 35°C, 40°C and 45°C. The chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence transient were recorded in vivo with high time resolution and analyzed according to JIP test which can quantify PS II behavior using Plant efficiency analyzer (PEA). Other than PEA, Biolyzer HP-3 software was used to evaluate different types of heterogeneity in wheat leaves. The results revealed that at high temperature, there was a change in the relative amounts of PSII α, β and γ centers. As judged from the complementary area growth curve, it seemed that with increasing temperature the PSII(β) and PSII(γ) centers increased at the expense of PSII(α) centers. The reducing side heterogeneity was also affected as shown by an increase in the number of Q(B)-non-reducing centers at high temperatures. The reversibility of high temperature induced damage on PSII heterogeneity was also studied. Antenna size heterogeneity was recovered fully up to 40°C while reducing side heterogeneity showed partial recovery at 40°C. An irreversible damage to both the types of heterogeneity was observed at 45°C. The work is a significant contribution to understand the basic mechanism involved in the adaptation of crop plants to stress conditions.

Abstract
Effects of LH on photosynthesis of Synechocystis sp. were investigated by a variety of in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence. O2 evolution and the photosystem II (PSII) activity were clearly inhibited by LH. Exposure to LH increased the proportion of PSIIbeta and this weakened the connectivity between PSII units and hindered excitation energy-transfer between PSII units. LH decreased the density of the active photosynthetic reaction centers, inhibited electron transport, and increased the dissipated energy flux per reaction center. The inhibitory effect of LH on Q(A)(-) reoxidation process could be divided into several stages. LH first inhibited the electron transfer from Q(A)(-) to Q(B) by weakening the connectivity between Q(A)(-) and Q(B), and PQ binding began taking part in Q(A)(-) reoxidation. At the second stage, the connectivity between Q(A)(-) and PQ pool was broken and inhibition on PQ binding occurred. At this stage, some Q(A)(-) began to be oxidized by S2(Q(A)Q(B))(-). Finally, when the connectivity between Q(A)(-) and Q(B) and PQ was completely broken, all Q(A)(-) was oxidized through charge recombination.

Abstract
The effect of alterations of lipid phase order of thylakoid membranes on the thermosensitivity of photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II) was studied. Plant sterols stigmasterol and cholesterol were applied to decrease the fluidity in isolated membranes. After sterol treatment, a decrease of the temperature of 50 % inhibition of PSII activity was observed. Heat stress-induced stimulation of PSI-mediated electron transport rate was registered for control, but not for sterol-treated membranes. Effect of altered lipid order on oxygen evolving complex was evaluated by means of flash oxygen yields revealing changes in the stoichiometry of PSIIα and PSIIβ centers. The effect of sterol incorporation on the changes in the thermotropic behavior of the main pigment-protein complexes was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC traces of control thylakoids in the temperature range 20-98 °C exhibited several irreversible endothermic transitions. Incorporation of cholesterol and stigmasterol results in superimposition of the transitions and only two main bands could be resolved. While high temperature band peaks at the same temperature after treatment with both sterols, the band that combines low temperature transitions shows different melting temperature (Tm): 70 °C for stigmasterol- and 65 °C for cholesterol-treated membranes. The data presented here emphasise the crucial role of lipid order for the response of thylakoids to high temperatures, mediated not only by changes in the fluidity of bulk lipid phase as result of sterol incorporation but also by changes in the thermotropic properties of pigment-protein complexes.

Abstract
Moderate heat stress (40 degrees C for 30 min) on spinach thylakoid membranes induced cleavage of the reaction center-binding D1 protein of photosystem II, aggregation of the D1 protein with the neighboring polypeptides D2 and CP43, and release of three extrinsic proteins, PsbO, -P, and -Q. These heat-induced events were suppressed under anaerobic conditions or by the addition of sodium ascorbate, a general scavenger of reactive oxygen species. In accordance with this, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals were detected in spinach photosystem II membranes incubated at 40 degrees C for 30 min with electron paramagnetic resonance spin-trapping spectroscopy. The moderate heat stress also induced significant lipid peroxidation under aerobic conditions. We suggest that the reactive oxygen species are generated by heat-induced inactivation of a water-oxidizing manganese complex and through lipid peroxidation. Although occurring in the dark, the damages caused by the moderate heat stress to photosystem II are quite similar to those induced by excessive illumination where reactive oxygen species are involved.

Abstract
Photosystem II is vulnerable to various abiotic stresses such as strong visible light and heat. Under both stresses, the damage seems to be triggered by reactive oxygen species, and the most critical damage occurs in the reaction center-binding D1 protein. Recent progress has been made in identifying the protease involved in the degradation of the photo- or heat-damaged D1 protein, the ATP-dependent metalloprotease FtsH. Another important result has been the discovery that the damaged D1 protein aggregates with nearby polypeptides such as the D2 protein and the antenna chlorophyll-binding protein CP43. The degradation and aggregation of the D1 protein occur simultaneously, but the relationship between the two is not known. We suggest that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the D1 protein, as well as the binding of the extrinsic PsbO protein to Photosystem II, play regulatory roles in directing the damaged D1 protein to the two alternative pathways.

Abstract
Heat stress causes inhibition of photosynthetic CO(2) assimilation, affects light photosynthetic reactions and accelerates alternative pathways of plastoquinone pool reduction (APPR). We have studied all these heat-sensitive processes after preheating to a broad range of physiological temperatures (24-46 degrees C) to explore a role of these alternative pathways during heat stress. Primarily, the effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry was reduced (at 40 degrees C). This PSII downregulation was accompanied by the stimulation of APPR and preceded reduction of photosynthetic CO(2) assimilation by 2 degrees ; it occurred after preheating at 42 degrees C because of inhibition in Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) activation process. Thus, we suggest that the heat-induced stimulation of APPR is not associated with the heat-induced inhibition of Calvin cycle as it was reported for other types of stresses. A possible role of APPR in the compensation of PSII downregulation is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Heat-induced changes in photosystem I (PSI) have been studied in terms of rates of oxygen consumption using various donors (DCPIPH2, TMPDred and DADred), formation of photo-oxidized P700 and changes in Chl a fluorescence emission at 77 K. Linear heating of thylakoid membranes from 35 degrees C to 70 degrees C caused an enhancement in PSI-mediated electron transfer rates (DCPIPH2-->MV) up to 55 degrees C. However, no change was observed in PSI rates when other electron donors were used (TMPDred and DADred). Similarly, Chl a fluorescence emission spectra at 77 K of heat-treated thylakoid membranes did not show any increase in peak at 735 nm, however, a significant decrease was observed as a function of temperature in the peaks at 685 and 694 nm. In DCMU-treated control thylakoid membranes maximum photo-oxidized P700 was generated at g = 2.0025. In heat-treated thylakoid membranes maximum intensity of photo-oxidized P700 signal was observed at approximately 50-55 degrees C without DCMU treatment. The steady-state signal of the photo-oxidized P700 was studied in the presence of DCPIPH2 and TMPDred as electron donors in DCMU-treated control and in 50 degrees C treated thylakoid membranes. We present here the first of such comparative study of PSI activity in terms of the rates of oxygen consumption and re-reduction kinetics of photo-oxidized P700 in the presence of different electron donors. It appears that the formation of the P700+ signal in heat-treated thylakoid membranes is due to an inhibited electron supply from PSII and not due to spillover or antenna migration.

Abstract
A study of heat effects was performed in thylakoids and photosystem II (PSII)-enriched membranes isolated from spinach in relation to Cl(-)-induced activation of PSII catalyzed oxygen evolution and the retention of Cl(-) in the PSII complex. For this, Cl(-)-sufficient membranes and low-Cl(-) membranes were used. The presence of Cl(-) in the reaction medium did accelerate oxygen evolution, which remained unaffected by heat treatment up to 40 degrees C in PSII membranes and up to 42.5 degrees C in thylakoids. Heat resistance of Cl(-)-induced activation of oxygen evolution was found to be independent of the presence of 'bound Cl(-)' in the preparations. However, the functional stability of the PSII complex during heat treatment showed a marked dependence on the presence of bound Cl(-) in PSII. Electron paramagnetic resonance study of manganese (Mn) release per reaction center/Y (D) (+) showed that there was little loss of Mn(2+) up to 42 degrees C in our preparations, although the PSII activity was significantly lowered. These observations together with data from steady state chlorophyll a fluorescence imply that the site of action of Cl(-) causing direct activation of oxygen evolution was different from the site of primary heat damage. A differential response of chloride binding sites to heat stress was observed. The high-affinity (tightly bound, slow exchanging) site of chloride is affected earlier ( approximately 37 degrees C) while low-affinity (loosely bound, fast exchanging) site gets affected at higher temperatures (42.5 degrees C in thylakoids and 40 degrees C in the case of PSII-enriched membranes).

Abstract
The photosynthetic apparatus, especially the electron transport chain imbedded in the thylakoid membrane, is one of the main targets of cold and heat stress in plants. Prompt and delayed fluorescence emission originating from photosystem II have been used, most often separately, to monitor the changes induced in the photosynthetic membranes during progressive warming or cooling of a leaf sample. Thermofluorescence of F (0) and F (M) informs on the effects of heat on the chlorophyll antennae and the photochemical centers, thermoluminescence on the stabilization and movements of charges and Delayed Light Emission on the permeability of the thylakoid membranes to protons and ions. Considered together and operated simultaneously, these techniques constitute a powerful tool to characterize the effect of thermal stress on intact photosynthetic systems and to understand the mechanisms of constitutive or induced tolerance to temperature stresses.

Abstract
When spinach thylakoids were subjected to moderate heat stress (40 degrees C for 30 min), oxygen evolution was inhibited, and cleavage of the reaction center-binding protein D1 of photosystem II took place, producing 23-kDa N-terminal fragments. The D1 cleavage was greatly facilitated by the addition of 0.15 mM ZnCl2 and 1 mM ATP and was completely inhibited by 1 mM EDTA, indicating the participation of an ATP-dependent metalloprotease(s) in the D1 cleavage. Herbicides 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea, bromoxynil, and ioxynil, all of which bind to the Q(B) site, inhibited the D1 cleavage, suggesting that the DE-loop of the D1 protein is the heat-sensitive cleavage site. We solubilized the protease by treating the thylakoids with 2 M KSCN and detected a protease activity in the supernatant by gelatin activity gel electrophoresis in the 70-80-kDa region. The antibodies against tobacco FtsH and Arabidopsis FtsH2 reacted with a 70-80-kDa band of the KSCN-solubilized fraction, which suggests the presence of FtsH in the fraction. In accordance with this finding, we identified the homolog to Arabidopsis FtsH8 in the 70-80-kDa region by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass analysis of the thylakoids. The KSCN-solubilized fraction was successively reconstituted with thylakoids to show heat-induced cleavage of the D1 protein and production of the D1 fragment. These results strongly suggest that an FtsH protease(s) is involved in the primary cleavage of the D1 protein under moderate heat stress.

Abstract
Increased ocean temperatures are thought to be triggering mass coral bleaching events around the world. The intracellular symbiotic zooxanthellae (genus Symbiodinium) are expelled from the coral host, which is believed to be a response to photosynthetic damage within these symbionts. Several sites of impact have been proposed, and here we probe the functional heterogeneity of Photosystem II (PSII) in three coral species exposed to bleaching conditions. As length of exposure to bleaching conditions (32 degrees C and 350 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1)) increased, the QA- reoxidation kinetics showed a rise in the proportion of inactive PSII centers (PSIIx), where QB was unable to accept electrons. PSIIx contributed up to 20% of the total PSII centers in Pocillopora damicornis, 35% in Acropora nobilis and 14% in Cyphastrea serailia. Changes in Fv/Fm and amplitude of the J step along fast induction curves were found to be highly dependent upon the proportion of PSIIx centers within the total pool of PSII reaction centers. Determination of PSII antenna size revealed that under control conditions in the three coral species up to 60% of PSII centers were lacking peripheral light-harvesting complexes (PSIIbeta). In P. damicornis, the proportion of PSIIbeta increased under bleaching conditions and this could be a photoprotective mechanism in response to excess light. The rapid increases in PSIIx and PSIIbeta observed in these corals under bleaching conditions indicates these physiological processes are involved in the initial photochemical damage to zooxanthellae.

Abstract
Originally identified as the cellular targets of immunosuppressant drugs, the immunophilins encompass two ubiquitous protein families: the FK-506 binding proteins or FKBPs, and the cyclosporin-binding proteins or cyclophilins. Present in organisms ranging from bacteria to animals and plants, these proteins are characterized by their enzymatic activity; the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerization of polypeptides. Whilst this function is important for protein folding, it has formed the functional basis for more complex interactions between immunophilins and their target proteins. Beginning with a brief historical overview of the immunophilin family, and a representative illustration of the current state of knowledge that has accumulated for these proteins in diverse organisms, a detailed description is presented of the recent advances in the elucidation of the role of this ubiquitous protein family in plant biology. Though still in its infancy, investigation into the function of plant immunophilins has so far yielded interesting results--as a significant component of the chloroplast proteome, the abundance of immunophilins located in the thylakoid lumen suggests that these proteins may play important roles in this relatively uncharacterized subcellular compartment. Moreover, the importance of the complex multidomain immunophilins in functions pertaining to development is underscored by the strong phenotypes displayed by their corresponding mutants.

Abstract
Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines of contrasting chilling sensitivity (three tolerant, three sensitive lines) were acclimated to 280 mumol photons m(-2) s(-1) white light at a 17 degrees C sub-optimal temperature. They showed no symptoms of photoinhibition, despite slight changes in photosystem II (PSII) fluorescence and thermoluminescence properties in two tolerant lines. A luminescence "afterglow" emission [Bertsch and Azzi (1965) Biochim Biophys Acta 94:15-26], inducible by a far-red (FR) illumination of unfrozen leaf discs, was detected either as a bounce in decay kinetics at constant temperatures or as a sharp thermoluminescence afterglow band at about 45 degrees C, in dark-adapted leaves. This band reflects the induction by warming of an electron pathway from stromal reductants to plastoquinones and to the Q(B) secondary acceptor of PSII, resulting in a luminescence-emitting charge recombination in the fraction of centres that were initially in the S(2/3)Q(B) non-luminescent state. A 5-h exposure of plants to growth chamber light shifted this luminescence emission towards shorter times and lower temperatures for several hours in the three chilling-tolerant lines. This downshift was not observed, or only transiently, in the three sensitive lines. In darkness, the downshifted afterglow band relaxed within hours to resume its dark-adapted location, similar for all maize lines. A faster dark re-reduction of P700(+) oxidized by FR light (monitored by 820-nm absorbance) and an increase of photochemical energy storage under FR excitation (determined by photoacoustic spectroscopy) confirmed that a cyclic pathway induced by white actinic light remained activated for several hours in the tolerant maize lines.

Abstract
Leaf discs of dark-adapted tobacco plants were excited by 2 flashes and kept in darkness at 20 degrees C for various time periods, then thermoluminescence emission was recorded without freezing the sample. The B band at 30 degrees C decreased with a half-time t1/2 approximately 1 min and the AG band at 45 degrees C with a t1/2 approximately 5 min. This corresponds to the decay kinetics of S2/3 in PS II centres in the state S2/3 QB - (B band) or S2/3 QB. Assuming that the 45 degrees C band is an 'afterglow' emission originating from those centres with an oxidized QB on which an electron is back-transferred from stroma reductants through a pathway induced by warming, the theoretical ratio of the B and AG band was compared to that measured experimentally. After 2 or 3 flashes producing mainly S3, the intensity of AG band encompassed several fold that of the B band, because recombining S3 recreated S2 QB AG-emitting centres. In order to confirm that the AG band is governed by the heat-induced activation of a dark QB-reducing pathway rather than by PS II charge recombination, the AG emission was characterized in triazine-resistant Chenopodium album weed biotypes. In these mutants where the QB pocket is altered, the B band is strongly downshifted to 18 degrees C, compared to 32 degrees C in the wild type, whereas the AG band is only downshifted by 3 or 4 degrees C, demonstrating that S2/3 QB - is not the limiting step of the AG emission.

Abstract
The origin of heat-induced chlorophyll fluorescence rise that appears at about 55-60 degrees C during linear heating of leaves, chloroplasts or thylakoids (especially with a reduced content of grana thylakoids) was studied. This fluorescence rise was earlier attributed to photosystem I (PSI) emission. Our data show that the fluorescence rise originates from chlorophyll a (Chl a) molecules released from chlorophyll-containing protein complexes denaturing at 55-60 degrees C. This conclusion results mainly from Chl a fluorescence lifetime measurements with barley leaves of different Chl a content and absorption and emission spectra measurements with barley leaves preheated to selected temperatures. These data, supported by measurements of liposomes with different Chl a/lipid ratios, suggest that the released Chl a is dissolved in lipids of thylakoid membranes and that with increasing Chl a content in the lipid phase, the released Chl a tends to form low-fluorescing aggregates. This is probably the reason for the suppressed fluorescence rise at 55-60 degrees C and the decreasing fluorescence course at 60-75 degrees C, which are observable during linear heating of plant material with a high Chl a/lipid ratio (e.g. green leaves, grana thylakoids, isolated PSII particles).

Abstract
Sensitivity of the photosynthetic thylakoid membranes to thermal stress was investigated in the psychrophilic Antarctic alga Chlamydomonas subcaudata. C. subcaudata thylakoids exhibited an elevated heat sensitivity as indicated by a temperature-induced rise in F(o) fluorescence in comparison with the mesophilic species, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This was accompanied by a loss of structural stability of the photosystem (PS) II core complex and functional changes at the level of PSI in C. reinhardtii, but not in C. subcaudata. Lastly, C. subcaudata exhibited an increase in unsaturated fatty acid content of membrane lipids in combination with unique fatty acid species. The relationship between lipid unsaturation and the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus under elevated temperatures is discussed.

Abstract
Time-resolved photovoltage measurements on destacked photosystem II membranes from spinach with the primary quinone electron acceptor Q(A) either singly or doubly reduced have been performed to monitor the time evolution of the primary radical pair P680(+)Pheo(-). The maximum transient concentration of the primary radical pair is about five times larger and its decay is about seven times slower with doubly reduced compared with singly reduced Q(A). The possible biological significance of these differences is discussed. On the basis of a simple reversible reaction scheme, the measured apparent rate constants and relative amplitudes allow determination of sets of molecular rate constants and energetic parameters for primary reactions in the reaction centers with doubly reduced Q(A) as well as with oxidized or singly reduced Q(A). The standard free energy difference DeltaG degrees between the charge-separated state P680(+)Pheo(-) and the equilibrated excited state (Chl(N)P680)* was found to be similar when Q(A) was oxidized or doubly reduced before the flash (approximately -50 meV). In contrast, single reduction of Q(A) led to a large change in DeltaG degrees (approximately +40 meV), demonstrating the importance of electrostatic interaction between the charge on Q(A) and the primary radical pair, and providing direct evidence that the doubly reduced Q(A) is an electrically neutral species, i.e., is doubly protonated. A comparison of the molecular rate constants shows that the rate of charge recombination is much more sensitive to the change in DeltaG degrees than the rate of primary charge separation.

Abstract
Kinetic studies of protein dephosphorylation in photosynthetic thylakoid membranes revealed specifically accelerated dephosphorylation of photosystem II (PSII) core proteins at elevated temperatures. Raising the temperature from 22 degrees C to 42 degrees C resulted in a more than 10-fold increase in the dephosphorylation rates of the PSII reaction center proteins D1 and D2 and of the chlorophyll a binding protein CP43 in isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) thylakoids. In contrast the dephosphorylation rates of the light harvesting protein complex and the 9-kD protein of the PSII (PsbH) were accelerated only 2- to 3-fold. The use of a phospho-threonine antibody to measure in vivo phosphorylation levels in spinach leaves revealed a more than 20-fold acceleration in D1, D2, and CP43 dephosphorylation induced by abrupt elevation of temperature, but no increase in light harvesting protein complex dephosphorylation. This rapid dephosphorylation is catalyzed by a PSII-specific, intrinsic membrane protein phosphatase. Phosphatase assays, using intact thylakoids, solubilized membranes, and the isolated enzyme, revealed that the temperature-induced lateral migration of PSII to the stroma-exposed thylakoids only partially contributed to the rapid increase in the dephosphorylation rate. Significant activation of the phosphatase coincided with the temperature-induced release of TLP40 from the membrane into thylakoid lumen. TLP40 is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, which acts as a regulatory subunit of the membrane phosphatase. Thus dissociation of TLP40 caused by an abrupt elevation in temperature and activation of the membrane protein phosphatase are suggested to trigger accelerated repair of photodamaged PSII and to operate as possible early signals initiating other heat shock responses in chloroplasts.

Abstract
The protective action of co-solutes, such as sucrose and glycinebetaine, against the thermal inactivation of photosystem II function was studied in untreated and Mn-depleted photosystem II preparations. It was shown that, in addition to the reactions that depend on the oxygen evolving activity of the photosystem, those that implicate more intimately the reaction center itself are protected by high concentrations of osmolytes. However, the temperature required to inhibit oxygen evolution totally in the presence of osmolytes is lower than that required to eliminate reactions, such as P680 (primary electron donor in photosystem II) photo-oxidation and pheophytin photo reduetion, which only involve charge separation and primary electron transport processes. The energy storage measured from the thermal dissipation yield during photoacoustic experiments and the yield of variable fluorescence are also protected to a significant degree (up to 30%) at temperatures at which oxygen evolution is totally inhibited. It is suggested that a cyclic electron transport reaction around photosystem II may be preserved under these conditions and may be responsible for the energy storage measured at relatively high temperatures. This interpretation is also supported by thermoluminescence data involving the recombination between reduced electron acceptors and oxidized electron donors at - 30 and - 55 °C. The data also imply that a high concentration of osmolyte allows the stabilization of the photosystem core complex together with the oxygen-evolving complex. The stabilization effect is understood in terms of the minimization of protein-water interactions as proposed by the theory of Arakawa and Timasheff (Biophys. J., 47 (1985) 411--414).

Abstract
Cytochrome (cyt) b-559 absorbance changes in intact chloroplasts were deconvoluted using a previously described LED-Array-Spectrophotometer (Klughammer et al. (1990), Photosynth Res 25: 317-327). When intact chloroplasts were isolated in the presence of ascorbate, approx. 15% of the total cyt b-559 could be transiently oxidised by 200 μM H2O2 in the dark. This fraction displays low-potential properties, as it can be also oxidised by menadione in the presence of 5 mM ascorbate. Heat pretreatment increased the size of this fraction by a factor of 3-4. Low concentrations of cyanide (in the μM range) prolonged the oxidation time while high concentrations suppressed the oxidation (I50=1.5 mM KCN). The former KCN-effect relates to inhibition of ascorbate dependent H2O2-reduction which is catalysed by ascorbate peroxidase, whereas the latter effect reflects competition between H2O2 and CN(-) for the same binding site at the cytochrome heme. In the light, much lower concentrations of H2O2 were required to obtain oxidation, the amplitude depending on light intensity and on the concentration of the added H2O2, but never exceeding approx. 15% of the total cyt b-559. In the light, but not in the dark, H2O2 also induced the transient oxidation of a cyt f fraction similar in size to the H2O2-oxidisable cyt b-559 fraction. In this case, H2O2 serves as an acceptor of Photosystem I in conjunction with the ascorbate peroxidase detoxification system. Light can also induce oxidation of a 15% cyt b-559 fraction without H2O2-addition, if nitrite is present as electron acceptor and the chloroplasts are depleted of ascorbate. It is concluded that light-induced cyt b-559 oxidation in vivo is likely to be restricted to the H2O2-oxidisable cyt b-559 LP fraction and is normally counteracted by ascorbate.

Abstract
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 with the loss of PS II activity, heat stress induced a marked gas-uptake activity both in far-red light (>715 nm) exciting only PS I and in broadband light (350-600 nm) exciting PS I and PS II. In view of its suppression by nitrogen gas and oxygen and its stimulation by high carbon-dioxide concentrations, the bulk of the photoacoustically measured gas uptake by heat-stressed leaves was ascribed to rapid carbon-dioxide solubilization in response to light-modulated stroma alkalization coupled to PS I-driven electron transport. Heat-induced gas uptake was observed to be insensitive to the PS II inhibitor diuron, sensitive to the plastocyanin inhibitor HgCl2 and saturated at a rather high photon flux density of around 1200 μE m(-2) s(-1). Upon transition from far-red light to darkness, the oxidized reaction center P700(+) of PS I was re-reduced very slowly in control leaves (with a half time t1/2 higher than 500 ms), as measured by leaf absorbance changes at around 820 nm. Heat stress caused a spectacular acceleration of the postillumination P700(+) reduction, with t1/2 falling to a value lower than 50 ms (after leaf exposure to 48°C). The decreased t1/2 was sensitive to HgCl2 and insensitive to diuron, methyl viologen (an electron acceptor of PS I competing with the endogenous acceptor ferredoxin) and anaerobiosis. This acceleration of the P700(+) reduction was very rapidly induced by heat treatment (within less than 5 min) and persisted even after prolonged irradiation of the leaves with far-red light. After heat stress, the plastoquinone pool exhibited reduction in darkness as indicated by the increase in the apparent Fo level of chlorophyll fluorescence which could be quenched by far-red light. Application (for 1 min) of far-red light to heat-pretreated leaves also induced a reversible quenching of the maximal fluorescence level Fm, suggesting formation of a pH gradient in far-red light. Taken together, the presented data indicate that PS I responded to the heat-induced loss of PS II photochemical activity by catalyzing an electron flow from stromal reductants. Heat-stress-induced PS I electron transport independent of PS II seems to constitute a protective mechanism since block of this electron pathway in anaerobiosis was observed to result in a dramatic photoinactivation of PS I.

Abstract
Addition of high concentrations of compatible co-solutes such as sugars, sugar alcohols and polyols has recently been shown to lead to marked increases in the thermal stability of oxygen-evolution in chloroplasts (Williams et al. (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1099, 137-144). In this paper, a similar stabilisation is demonstrated for oxygen-evolving PS II core preparations. The presence of such co-solutes appears, however, to have no ability to stabilise PS II reaction-centre preparations against heat-induced changes in their absorption spectrum. Nor do they protect electron transport from artificial electron donors in PS II core preparations lacking the extrinsic 33 kDa polypeptide of the oxygen-evolution system. Measurements performed on core preparations retaining the 33 kDa polypeptide but lacking the 17 kDa and 23 kDa polypeptides indicate that the co-solutes protect PS-II-mediated electron transport by stabilising the binding of the 33 kDa polypeptide to the core complexes. These findings are discussed in terms of an extension of the general principles underlying the Hofmeister effect observed for soluble proteins to the stabilisation of photosynthetic membrane preparations.

Abstract
The precursor to the nuclear-coded 22-kDa heat-shock protein of chloroplasts (HSP 22) has been transported into isolated intact chloroplasts from heat-shocked plants. The localization of the mature protein in the chloroplast membrane was investigated. We have shown that the processed HSP 22 of pea was not bound to envelopes and found predominantly in thylakoid membranes. The binding of HSP 22 was stable in the presence of high salt concentrations. Solubilization of thylakoid membranes with Triton X-100 and phase partitioning with Triton X-114 indicate an intrinsic localization of HSP 22 or, alternatively, a non-covalent association with integral membrane protein(s). After fractionation into grana and stroma lamellae, HSP 22 was found mostly in the grana-membrane subfraction.

Abstract
Intensity of 2 s delayed fluorescence (DF) as a function of steady-state actinic light intensity was investigated in pea chloroplasts in the presence of 10 μM DCMU. The light saturation curve of DF was approximated by a sum of two hyperbolic components which differ by an order of magnitude in the half-saturating incident light intensity. The relative contribution of the amplitudes of the components was practically independent of cation (Na(+) and Mg(2+)) concentration and a short-term heating of the chloroplasts at 45°C. The component saturating at low incident light intensity was selectively suppressed by 100 μM DCMU or by 1 μmol μg(-1) Chl oleic acid. DF intensity following excitation by a single saturating 15 μs flash was equal to the intensity of the component saturating at a low incident light intensity. Upon flash excitation, the maximum steady-state DF level was found to be attained only after a series of saturating flashes. It is concluded that the two components of the DF light saturation curves are related to PS II centres heterogeneity in quantum yield of stabilization of the reduced primary quinone acceptor.
