Photoinhibition at Chilling Temperatures in Intact Leaves and Isolated Chloroplasts of Barley
Chapter
Abstract
Exposure of many plants to low non-freezing temperatures (0°C-10°C) is known to have a deleterious effect on plant function. The photosynthetic mechanism is one of the principal sites of damage, chilling sensitive plants showing a decreased capacity for CO2 fixation on subsequent return to favourable conditions. This inhibition is exacerbated or only occurs when the plants are exposed to light during chilling, indicating that photoinhibition is an important aspect of chilling damage in the light (1).
