Photoinhibition of Chloroplast Reactions. I. Kinetics and Action Spectra

Open access
Jones, L. W., Kok, B.·1966·Plant Physiology

Abstract

A study was made of photoinhibition of spinach chloroplast reactions. The kinetics and spectral characteristics of the photoinhibition over a range between 230 and 700 mmu have been examined. The decline of activity due to preillumination was independent of wavelength, and dependent upon the number of quanta applied, not upon the rate of application. The effectiveness spectra of photoinhibition indicate that active ultraviolet light is absorbed by a pigment which is not a normal light absorber for photosynthesis and acts with a high quantum efficiency (> 0.1) for photoinhibition.Active visible light is absorbed by the pigments which sensitize photosynthesis (chlorophyll, carotenoids). A very low quantum efficiency (about 10(-4)) was observed for the photoinhibition with visible light.The action spectrum of the photoinhibition of dye reduction by chloroplasts and lyophylized Anacystis cells indicated that the damage caused by visible light is due to quanta absorbed by photosystem II. However, since system I might not be involved in dye reduction, the spectra may reflect only damage to photosystem II.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
