Light-induced damage to photosystem I
(PSI) was studied during low-light illumination of barley
(Hordeum vulgare L.) at chilling temperatures. A 4-h
illumination period induced a significant inactivation of PSI electron
transport activity. Flash-induced P700 absorption decay measurements
revealed progressive damage to (a) the iron-sulfur clusters
FA and FB, (b) the iron-sulfur clusters
FA, FB, and FX, and (c) the
phylloquinone A1 and the chlorophyll A0 or P700
of the PSI electron acceptor chain. Light-induced PSI damage was also
evidenced by partial degradation of the PSI-A and PSI-B proteins and
was correlated with the appearance of smaller proteins. Aggravated
photodamage was observed upon illumination of barley leaves infiltrated
with KCN, which inhibits Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase and ascorbate
peroxidase. This indicates that the photodamage of PSI in barley
observed during low-light illumination at chilling temperatures arises
because the defense against active oxygen species by active
oxygen-scavenging enzymes is insufficient at these specific conditions.
The data obtained demonstrate that photoinhibition of PSI at chilling
temperatures is an important phenomenon in a cold-tolerant plant
species.
