After saturating irradiation for 3 h (SI), the original fluorescence F0 increased while the photosystem 2 (PS2) photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) declined significantly. These parameters could largely recover to the levels of dark-adapted leaves after 3 h of subsequent dark recovery. No net loss of the D1 proteins occurred after SI. Soybean and pumpkin leaves had different responses to SI. Low temperature fluorescence parameters, F685 and F685/F735, decreased significantly in soybean leaves but not in pumpkin leaves. Part of the light-harvesting complex LHC2 dissociated from PS2 complexes in soybean leaves but not in pumpkin leaves, as shown by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and SDS-PAGE. The photon-saturated PS2 electron transport activity declined significantly in pumpkin thylakoids but not in soybean thylakoids. In addition, a large amount of phosphorylated D1 proteins was found in dark-adapted soybean leaves but not in dark-adapted pumpkin leaves. Hence at excessive irradiance soybean and pumpkin have the same protective strategy against photo-damage, reversible down-regulation of PS2, but two different mechanisms, namely the reversible down-regulation is related to the dissociation of LHC2 in soybean leaves but not in pumpkin leaves. and Hai-Bo Zhang, Da-Quan Xu.
In this paper we investigate the relationship between the statistical (or generally I-convergence) of a series and the usual convergence of its subseries. We also give a counterexample which shows that Theorem 1 of the paper by B. C. Tripathy ''On statistically convergent series'', Punjab. Univ. J. Math. 32 (1999), 1–8, is not correct.
