Abstract:This study utilizes steady state fluorescence measurements, flash-induced P68Q+ absorption transients, and DCIP reduction kinetics to study the inhibitory effects of linolenic acid (LA) upon Photosystem II (PSII) in whole spinach chloroplasts and insideout wheat thylakoids. It confirms the presence within PSII of LA-induced inhibition of energy trapping and/or primary charge separation (i.e., primary inhibition), in addition to 2 donor side inhibition. The latter is diminished in the presence of 1,5-Diphenylca… Show more
