Antagonistic Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide and Glutathione on Acclimation to Excess Excitation Energy in Arabidopsis

Abstract: The redox status of the quinone B (Q(B)) and plastoquinone (PQ) pools plays a key role in the cellular and systemic signalling processes that control acclimatory responses in plants. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of hydrogen peroxide and glutathione on acclimatory responses controlled by redox events in the proximity of the Q(B)-PQ pools. Our results suggest that the chloroplast is a sink for H2O2 and that, paradoxically, high concentrations of H2O2 in the chloroplast protect the photosynthetic app… Show more

“…APXa1 is located in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane in the leaves and APXa2 is located in the plastid matrix of various organs ( Figure 5 , Table 1 ); these are responsible for the removal of H 2 O 2 produced by the electron transport of the photosynthetic chain in the chloroplast and by other metabolic pathways in the plastid respectively. However, it has recently been suggested that the chloroplast is not as sensitive to ROS damage as previously thought [ 57 ]. We speculate that due to the special metabolic mechanism and structure in maize leaves, chloroplasts may not produce a large amount of ROS under stress.…”

“…Therefore, lowered GR activity could be explained by an increased NADPH consumption by the CEF (Munekage and Shikanai, 2005), which in turn may cause increased reduction of the PQ pool (Karpinska et al ., 2000). …”

“…However, those processes seem to converge and may result from hydropassive mechanisms (direct evaporation of water without metabolic involvement) [ 41 ] as well as morphological, physiological, and molecular metabolic-dependent mechanisms [ 42 ]. The latter comprises regulation of K + transport, expression and activity of aquaporins [ 43 ], the signaling of ROS [ 44 ], guard cell calcium status, membrane fluidity, and phototropin activation [ 45 ]. Most of these processes are under the control of hormones [ 46 ].…”
