Abstract
Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils can significantly reduce peanut yield. The physiological response of peanut leaves to Al poisoning stress still has not been fully explored. This research examined the influences of Al toxicity on peanut leaves by observing the leaf phenotype, scanning the leaf area and perimeter, and by measuring photosynthetic pigment content, physiological response indices, leaf hormone levels, and mineral element accumulation. Fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR) was utilized to determine the relative transcript level of specific genes. The results indicated that Al toxicity hindered peanut leaf development, reducing their biomass, surface area, and perimeter, although the decrease in photosynthetic pigment content was minimal. Al toxicity notably affected the activity of antioxidative enzymes, proline content, and MDA (malondialdehyde) levels in the leaves. Additionally, Al poisoning resulted in the increased accumulation of iron (Fe), potassium (K), and Al in peanut leaves but reduced the levels of calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and magnesium (Mg). There were significant changes in the content of hormones and the expression level of genes connected with hormones in peanut leaves. High Al concentrations may activate cellular defense mechanisms, enhancing antioxidative activity to mitigate excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and affecting hormone-related gene expression, which may impede leaf biomass and development. This research aimed to elucidate the physiological response mechanisms of peanut leaves to Al poisoning stress, providing insights for breeding new varieties resistant to Al poisoning.

Abstract
Low Zn availability in soils is a problem in many parts of the world, with tremendous consequences for food and feed production because Zn deficiency affects the yield and quality of plants. In this study we investigated the consequences of Zn-limitation in hydroponically cultivated soybean (Glycine max L.) plants. Parameters of photosynthesis biophysics were determined by spatially and spectrally resolved Kautsky and OJIP fluorescence kinetics and oxygen production at two time points (V4 stage, after five weeks, and pod development stage, R5-R6, after 8-10 weeks). Lower NPQ at 730 nm and lower quantum yield of electron transport flux until PSI acceptors were observed, indicating an inhibition of the PSI acceptor side. Metalloproteomics showed that down-regulation of Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) and Zn‑carbonic anhydrase (CA) were primary consequences of Zn-limitation. This explained the effects on photosynthesis in terms of decreased use of excitons, which consequently led to oxidative stress. Indeed, untargeted metabolomics revealed an accumulation of lipid oxidation products in the Zn-deficient leaves. Further response to Zn deficiency included up-regulation of gene expression of cell wall metabolism, response to (a)biotic stressors and antioxidant activity, which correlated with accumulation of antioxidants, Vit B6, (iso)flavonoids and phytoalexins.

Abstract
The activity of ferredoxin (Fd)-dependent cyclic electron flow (Fd-CEF) around photosystem I (PSI) was determined in intact leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. The oxidation rate of Fd reduced by PSI (vFd) and photosynthetic linear electron flow activity are simultaneously measured under actinic light illumination. The vFd showed a curved response to the photosynthetic linear electron flow activity. In the lower range of photosynthetic linear flow activity with plastoquinone (PQ) in a highly reduced state, vFd clearly showed a linear relationship with photosynthetic linear electron flow activity. On the other hand, vFd increased sharply when photosynthetic linear electron flow activity became saturated with oxidized PQ as the net CO2 assimilation rate increased. That is, under higher photosynthesis conditions, we observed excess vFd resulting in electron flow over photosynthetic linear electron flow. The situation in which excess vFd was observed was consistent with the previous Fd-CEF model. Thus, excess vFd could be attributed to the in vivo activity of Fd-CEF. Furthermore, the excess vFd was also observed in NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-deficient mutants localized in the thylakoid membrane. The physiological significance of the excessive vFd was discussed.

Abstract
A photochemical model of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) is needed to integrate photophysics, photochemistry, and biochemistry to determine redox conditions of electron carriers and enzymes for plant stress assessment and mechanistically link sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence to carbon assimilation for remotely sensing photosynthesis. Towards this goal, we derived photochemical equations governing the states and redox reactions of complexes and electron carriers along the PET chain. These equations allow the redox conditions of the mobile plastoquinone pool and the cytochrome b6 f complex (Cyt) to be inferred with typical fluorometry. The equations agreed well with fluorometry measurements from diverse C3 /C4 species across environments in the relationship between the PET rate and fraction of open photosystem II reaction centres. We found the oxidation of plastoquinol by Cyt is the bottleneck of PET, and genetically improving the oxidation of plastoquinol by Cyt may enhance the efficiency of PET and photosynthesis across species. Redox reactions and photochemical and biochemical interactions are highly redundant in their complex controls of PET. Although individual reaction rate constants cannot be resolved, they appear in parameter groups which can be collectively inferred with fluorometry measurements for broad applications. The new photochemical model developed enables advances in different fronts of photosynthesis research.

Dynamic seasonal changes in photosynthesis systems in leaves of Asarum tamaense, an evergreen understorey herbaceous species. ANNALS OF BOTANY 2023; 131:423-436. [PMID: 36579472 PMCID: PMC10072104 DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcac156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Evergreen herbaceous species in the deciduous forest understorey maintain their photosystems in long-lived leaves under dynamic seasonal changes in light and temperature. However, in evergreen understorey herbs, it is unknown how photosynthetic electron transport acclimates to seasonal changes in forest understorey environments, and what photoprotection systems function in excess energy dissipation under high-light and low-temperature environments in winter. METHODS Here, we used Asarum tamaense, an evergreen herbaceous species in the deciduous forest understorey with a single-flush and long-lived leaves, and measured photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and electron transport in leaves throughout the year. The contents of photosynthetic proteins, pigments and primary metabolites were determined from regularly collected leaves. KEY RESULTS Both the rates of CO2 assimilation and electron transport under saturated light were kept low in summer, but increased in autumn and winter in A. tamaense leaves. Although the contents of photosynthetic proteins including Rubisco did not increase in autumn and winter, the proton motive force and ΔpH across the thylakoid membrane were high in summer and decreased from summer to winter to a great extent. These decreases alleviated the suppression by lumen acidification and increased the electron transport rate in winter. The content and composition of carotenoids changed seasonally, which may affect changes in non-photochemical quenching from summer to winter. Winter leaves accumulated proline and malate, which may support cold acclimation. CONCLUSIONS In A. tamaense leaves, the increase in photosynthetic electron transport rates in winter was not due to an increase in photosynthetic enzyme contents, but due to the activation of photosynthetic enzymes and/or release of limitation of photosynthetic electron flow. These seasonal changes in the regulation of electron transport and also the changes in several photoprotection systems should support the acclimation of photosynthetic C gain under dynamic environmental changes throughout the year.

Abstract
Leaf nitrogen (N) level affects not only photosynthetic CO2 assimilation, but also two photosystems of the photosynthetic electron transport. The quantum yield of photosystem II [Y(II)] and the non-photochemical yield due to the donor side limitation of photosystem I [Y(ND)], which denotes the fraction of oxidized P700 (P700+) to total P700, oppositely change depending on leaf N level, and the negative correlation between these two parameters has been reported in leaves of plants cultivated at various N levels in growth chambers. Here, we aimed to clarify whether this correlation is maintained after short-term changes in leaf N level, and what parameters are the most responsive to the changes in leaf N level under field conditions. We cultivated rice varieties at two N fertilization levels in paddy fields, treated additional N fertilization to plants grown at low N, and measured parameters of two photosystems of mature leaves. In rice leaves under low N condition, the Y(ND) increased and the photosynthetic linear electron flow was suppressed. In this situation, the accumulation of P700+ can function as excess energy dissipation. After the N addition, both Y(ND) and Y(II) changed, and the negative correlation between them was maintained. We used a newly-developed device to assess the photosystems. This device detected the similar changes in Y(ND) after the N addition, and the negative correlation between Y(ND) and photosynthetic O2 evolution rates was observed in plants under various N conditions. This study has provided strong field evidence that the Y(ND) largely changes depending on leaf N level, and that the Y(II) and Y(ND) are negatively correlated with each other irrespective of leaf N level, varieties and annual variation. The Y(ND) can stably monitor the leaf N status and the linear electron flow under field conditions.

Abstract
Chloroplast ribulose-5-phosphate-3-epimerase (RPE) is a critical enzyme involved in the Calvin-Benson cycle and oxidative pentose phosphate pathways in higher plants. Three Arabidopsis rpe mutants with reduced level of RPE were identified through their high NPQ (nonphotochemical quenching) phenotype upon illumination, and no significant difference of plant size was found between these rpe mutants and WT (wild type) plants under growth chamber conditions. A decrease in RPE expression to a certain extent leads to a decrease in CO2 fixation, V cmax and J max. Photosynthetic linear electron transport was partially inhibited and activity of ATP synthase was also decreased in the rpe mutants, but the levels of thylakoid protein complexes and other Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes in rpe mutants were not affected. These results demonstrate that some degree of reduction in RPE expression decreases carbon fixation in chloroplasts, which in turn feedback inhibits photosynthetic electron transport and ATP synthase activity due to the photosynthetic control. Taken together, this work provides evidence that RPE plays an important role in the Calvin-Benson cycle and influences the photosynthetic capacity of chloroplasts.

Abstract
Low temperature inhibits photosynthesis and negatively affects plant growth. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a chilling-sensitive plant, and its greenhouse production requires considerable energy during the winter. Therefore, a useful stress marker for selecting chilling-tolerant cucumber cultivars is desirable. In this study, we evaluated chilling-stress damage in different cucumber cultivars by measuring photosynthetic parameters. The majority of cultivars showed decreases in the quantum yield of photosystem (PS) II [Fv/Fm and Y(II)] and the quantity of active PS I (Pm) after chilling stress. In contrast, Y(ND)-the ratio of the oxidized state of PSI reaction center chlorophyll P700 (P700+)-differed among cultivars and was perfectly inversely correlated with Y(NA)-the ratio of the non-photooxidizable P700. It has been known that P700+ accumulates under stress conditions and protects plants to suppress the generation of reactive oxygen species. In fact, cultivars unable to induce Y(ND) after chilling stress showed growth retardation with reductions in chlorophyll content and leaf area. Therefore, Y(ND) can be a useful marker to evaluate chilling-stress tolerance in cucumber.

Abstract
Considering a scenario where there is a low availability and increasing costs of fertilizers in the global agricultural market, as well as a finitude of important natural resources, such as phosphorus (P), this study tested the effect of the inoculation of rhizospheric or endophytic microorganisms isolated from Hymenaea courbaril and Butia purpurascens on the growth promotion of Glycine max (L.) Merr. The tests were conducted in a controlled greenhouse system, and the effects of biofertilization were evaluated using the following parameters: dry biomass, nutritional content, and photochemical and photosynthetic performance of plants. Seed biopriming was performed with four bacterial and four fungal isolates, and the results were compared to those of seeds treated with the commercial product Biomaphos®. Overall, microbial inoculation had a positive effect on biomass accumulation in G. max, especially in strains PA12 (Paenibacillus alvei), SC5 (Bacillus cereus), and SC15 (Penicillium sheari). The non-inoculated control plants accumulated less nutrients, both in the whole plant and aerial part, and had reduced chlorophyll index and low photosynthetic rate (A) and photochemical efficiency. Strains PA12 (P. alvei), SC5 (B. cereus), and 328EF (Codinaeopsis sp.) stood out in the optimization of nutrient concentration, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance. Plants inoculated with the bacterial strains PA12 (P. alvei) and SC5 (B. cereus) and with the fungal strains 328EF (Codinaeopsis sp.) and SC15 (P. sheari) showed the closest pattern to that observed in plants treated with Biomaphos®, with the same trend of direction of the means associated with chlorophyll index, (A), dry mass, and concentration of important nutrients such as N, P, and Mg. We recommend the use of these isolates in field tests to validate these strains for the production of biological inoculants as part of the portfolio of bioinputs available for G. max.

Abstract
It is still a controversial issue how the electron transport reaction is carried out around photosystem I (PSI) in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The measurable component in PSI is the oxidized P700, the reaction center chlorophyll in PSI, as the absorbance changes at 820-830 nm. Previously, the quantum yield at PSI [Y(I)] has been estimated as the existence probability of the photo-oxidizable P700 by applying the saturated-pulse illumination (SP; 10,000-20,000 µmol photons m-2 s-1). The electron transport rate (ETR) at PSI has been estimated from the Y(I) value, which was larger than the reaction rate at PSII, evaluated as the quantum yield of PSII, especially under stress-conditions such as CO2-limited and high light intensity conditions. Therefore, it has been considered that the extra electron flow at PSI was enhanced at the stress condition and played an important role in dealing with the excessive light energy. However, some pieces of evidence were reported that the excessive electron flow at PSI would be ignorable from other aspects. In the present research, we confirmed that the Y(I) value estimated by the SP method could be easily misestimated by the limitation of the electron donation to PSI. Moreover, we estimated the quantitative turnover rate of P700+ by the light-to-dark transition. However, the turnover rate of P700 was much slower than the ETR at PSII. It is still hard to quantitatively estimate the ETR at PSI by the current techniques.

Schansker G, Ohnishi M, Furutani R, Miyake C. Identification of Twelve Different Mineral Deficiencies in Hydroponically Grown Sunflower Plants on the Basis of Short Measurements of the Fluorescence and P700 Oxidation/Reduction Kinetics. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:894607. [PMID: 35720579 PMCID: PMC9201956 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.894607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
The photosynthetic electron transport chain is mineral rich. Specific mineral deficiencies can modify the electron transport chain specifically. Here, it is shown that on the basis of 2 short Chl fluorescence and P700+ measurements (approx. 1 s each), it is possible to discriminate between 10 out of 12 different mineral deficiencies: B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, N, P, S, and Zn. B- and Mo-deficient plants require somewhat longer measurements to detect the feedback inhibition they induce. Eight out of twelve deficiencies mainly affect PS I and NIR measurements are, therefore, very important for this analysis. In Cu- and P-deficient plants, electron flow from the plastoquinone pool to PS I, is affected. In the case of Cu-deficiency due to the loss of plastocyanin and in the case of P-deficiency probably due to a fast and strong generation of Photosynthetic Control. For several Ca-, K-, and Zn-deficient plant species, higher levels of reactive oxygen species have been measured in the literature. Here, it is shown that this not only leads to a loss of Pm (maximum P700 redox change) reflecting a lower PS I content, but also to much faster P700+ re-reduction kinetics during the I2-P (~30-200 ms) fluorescence rise phase. The different mineral deficiencies affect the relation between the I2-P and P700+ kinetics in different ways and this is used to discuss the nature of the relationship between these two parameters.

Enrichment of Grapes with Zinc-Efficiency of Foliar Fertilization with ZnSO4 and ZnO and Implications on Winemaking. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11111399. [PMID: 35684172 PMCID: PMC9182840 DOI: 10.3390/plants11111399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Grapes and wine are widely consumed in the world, yet their mineral content can be influenced by many factors such as the mineral composition of soils, viticulture practices and environmental conditions. In this context, considering the importance of Zn in the human physiology, the enrichment of Moscatel and Castelão grapes (white and red variety, respectively) with this nutrient prompted this study; further assessment of tissue deposition and some implications for wine production. Using two foliar fertilizers (ZnO or ZnSO4, at 150, 450 and 900 g ha−1), decreases in net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance occurred in both varieties, suggesting that the physiological threshold of Zn toxicity was reached without visible symptoms. Following foliar spraying with both fertilizers, the content of Zn in leaves of the Castelão and Moscatel varieties showed higher values in all treatments relative to the control. Moreover, in grapes this tendency occurred only in Castelão. Concerning Cu, Fe, Ca, K, S and P, some significant differences also happened in leaves and grapes among treatments. At harvest, the indexes of Zn enrichment in grapes increased between 2.14- and 8.38-fold and between 1.02- and 1.44-fold in Castelão and Moscatel varieties, respectively. Zinc in the dried skin of Castelão only increased with ZnO and ZnSO4 sprayed at 900 g ha−1 (ca. 2.71- and 1.5-fold relative to the control, respectively), but in Moscatel a clear accumulation trend could not be found. The dry weight of grapes ranged (in %) between 16 and 23 (but did not vary significantly among treatments of each variety or in each treatment between varieties), and total soluble solids (e.g., mainly soluble sugars and proteins) and color parameters showed some significant variations. Through winemaking, the contents of Zn increased in both varieties (1.34- and 3.57-fold, in Castelão and Moscatel, respectively) and in all treatments, although non-significantly in Castelão. It is concluded that, to increase the contents of Zn in grapes without reaching the threshold of toxicity, ZnO or ZnSO4 can be used for foliar spraying of Castelão and Moscatel varieties until 900 g ha−1 and that winemaking augments the level of this nutrient.

Distribution and Functions of Monodehydroascorbate Reductases in Plants: Comprehensive Reverse Genetic Analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana Enzymes. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10111726. [PMID: 34829597 PMCID: PMC8615211 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10111726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) is an enzyme involved in ascorbate recycling. Arabidopsis thaliana has five MDAR genes that encode two cytosolic, one cytosolic/peroxisomal, one peroxisomal membrane-attached, and one chloroplastic/mitochondrial isoform. In contrast, tomato plants possess only three enzymes, lacking the cytosol-specific enzymes. Thus, the number and distribution of MDAR isoforms differ according to plant species. Moreover, the physiological significance of MDARs remains poorly understood. In this study, we classify plant MDARs into three classes: class I, chloroplastic/mitochondrial enzymes; class II, peroxisomal membrane-attached enzymes; and class III, cytosolic/peroxisomal enzymes. The cytosol-specific isoforms form a subclass of class III and are conserved only in Brassicaceae plants. With some exceptions, all land plants and a charophyte algae, Klebsormidium flaccidum, contain all three classes. Using reverse genetic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking one or more isoforms, we provide new insight into the roles of MDARs; for example, (1) the lack of two isoforms in a specific combination results in lethality, and (2) the role of MDARs in ascorbate redox regulation in leaves can be largely compensated by other systems. Based on these findings, we discuss the distribution and function of MDAR isoforms in land plants and their cooperation with other recycling systems.
