Summary
The activity of photosystem II (PS II) is severely restricted by a variety of environmental factors and, under environmental stress, is determined by the balance between the rate of damage to PS II and the rate of the repair of damaged PS II. The effects of environmental stress on damage and repair can be examined separately and it appears that, while light can damage PS II directly, most types of environmental stress act primarily by inhibiting the repair of PS II. Studies in cyanobacteria have demonstrated that repair-inhibiting conditions include oxidative stress, salt stress, and low-temperatures stress, each of which suppresses the de novo synthesis of proteins, in particular the D1 protein, which is required for the repair of PS II. The synergistic effects of combinations of different types of environmental stress suggest that it is the repair process that determines the sensitivity of PS II to specific environmental conditions.
