The Heat Stability of the Photosynthetic Apparatus During the Process of High Temperature Acclimation

Abstract

The high temperature acclimation of higher plants results in an improved photosynthetic performance at high temperatures1. To evaluate the extent of this acclimation under controlled temperature conditions2, we investigate the heat stability of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants by measuring the dependence of the chlorophyll α fluorescence kinetics at room temperature on high temperature treatments. As it is known, the non-monotonic behaviour of the chlorophyll α fluorescence kinetics at room temperature in dark adapted native photosynthetic system reflects mainly the state of the photosynthetic apparatus and the changes in electron-transport reactions3–6.
