Description:
Recent experimental evidence (see part 80) suggests that the chlorophyll (Chl) b pathway is biosynthetically heterogeneous. The dissection of this biosynthetic heterogeneity requires the availability of a cell-free system capable of the net synthesis of Chl(ide) a and b. The development of such a system is described. and V. Kolossov ... [et al.].

Description:
Changes in fluorescence emission spectra (293 and 77 K) of phycobilisomes from Nostoc flagelUforme during dissociation in phosphate buffer of various molarity were studied. There were three bands in 77 K fluorescence emission spectra of partly dissociated phycobilisomes: F648, F666 and F686, characteristic of C-phycocyanin (C-PC), allophycocyanin (APC) and allophycocyanin-B (APC-B), respectively. In severely dissociated phycobilisomes, the F666 band was veiy weak, which indicated that linkage between C-PC and APC was severely dissociated, most of the energy trapped by C-PC could not be transferred to APC, but some of it could be transferred directly to APC-B. The phycobiliproteins in these phycobilisomes constitute an energy transfer chain: PEC^C;PC-»APC-»AP^-B. A new model of phycobilisome structure is suggested, in which some C-PC contact directly with APC and others contact with APC-B.

Description:
Australian carnivorous pitcher plant Cephalotus follicularis Labill. produces two types of leaves. During the spring time, the plant produces a foliage type of noncarnivorous leaf called lamina. Later, the second type of leaf is produced - carnivorous pitcher. Using simultaneous measurements of gas exchange and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence photosynthetic efficiency of these two distinct forms of leaves were compared. In addition stomatal density, an important component of gas exchange, and Chl concentration were also determined. Pitcher trap had lower net photosynthetic rate (PN) in comparison to noncarnivorous lamina, whereas the rate of respiration (RD) was not significantly different. This was in accordance with lower stomatal density and Chl concentration in the pitcher trap. On the other hand maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) and effective quantum yield of photochemical energy conversion in PSII (ΦPSII) was not significantly different. Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) was significantly higher in the lamina at higher irradiance. These data are in accordance with hypothesis that changing the leaf shape in carnivorous plants to make it a better trap generally makes it less efficient at photosynthesis. However, the pitcher of Cephalotus had much higher PN than it was expected from the data set of the genus Nepenthes. Because it is not possible to optimize for contrasting function such as photosynthesis and carnivory, it is hypothesized that Cephalotus pitchers are less elaborated for carnivorous function than the pitchers of Nepenthes. and A.

Language:

Description:
Of the four tested sweet potato cultivars having different features in growth and yield, cv. Koganesengan (KOG) was sustainable in photosynthetic activity through young to aged leaves under drought. One of the causes for this phenomenon may be stomatal conductance (g s) of this cultivar that was relatively high in both aged and drought-imposed leaves. In these leaves the non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) was low and the quantum yield of photosystem 2 (Φe) was high, compared to those of the other cultivars. This helps to prevent excessive accumulation of chemical energy in leaves and a decrease in photoinhibition damage to the photosynthetic function, by which KOG sustains a relatively high photosynthetic activity under the drought and alleviates functional deterioration caused by leaf age. and Haimeirong, F. Kubota.
