Photosynthetic Pigment-Protein Content, Electron Transport Activity and Thermo-Luminescence Properties of Chloroplasts Along the Developmental Gradient in Greening Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Leaves

Thermoluminescence in Chloroplast Thylakoid

“…Intermittent illumination to greening leaves which does not develop Mn clusture properly do not show the TL bands (Inoue et al, 1976;Sane et al, 1977). Misra et al (1998b) reported a gradual increase in the Q and B band from base to apex of that wheat leaves greening under continuous illumination, which confirms a developmental gradient across the wheat leaf lamina and a gradual development and organization of the photosynthetic PSII complexes. Leaf aging under continuous light or under continuous darkness resulted in a decrease in Q and B bands (Joshi et al, 1993).…”
