Holistic Understanding

Abstract Diatoms possess an impressive capacity for rapidly inducible thermal dissipation of excess absorbed energy (qE), provided by the xanthophyll diatoxanthin and Lhcx proteins. By knocking out the Lhcx1 and Lhcx2 genes individually in Phaeodactylum tricornutum strain 4 and complementing the knockout lines with different Lhcx proteins, multiple mutants with varying qE capacities are obtained, ranging from zero to high values. We demonstrate that qE is entirely dependent on the concerted action of diatoxanthin and Lhcx proteins, with Lhcx1, Lhcx2 and Lhcx3 having similar functions. Moreover, we establish a clear link between Lhcx1/2/3 mediated inducible thermal energy dissipation and a reduction in the functional absorption cross-section of photosystem II. This regulation of the functional absorption cross-section can be tuned by altered Lhcx protein expression in response to environmental conditions. Our results provide a holistic understanding of the rapidly inducible thermal energy dissipation process and its mechanistic implications in diatoms.

The objective of this work was to study physiological characteristics and photosynthetic apparatus in differentially pigmented leaves of three Chinese kale cultivars. Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) measurements in green, yellow-green, and dark-green cultivars in response to varying light intensities. As light intensity increased from 200 to 2000 photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), fraction of light absorbed in photosystem (PS) II and PRI values in all plants were strongly lowered, but fraction of light absorbed in PSII dissipated via thermal energy dissipation and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) values in all plants wereremarkably elevated.When plants were exposed to 200 PPFD, the values of fraction of light absorbed in PSII, utilized in photosynthetic electron transport(p), andfraction of light absorbed excitation energy in PSII dissipated via thermal energy dissipation (D), remained stable regardless of the changes in levels of Chla + b. Under 800 and 1200 PPFD, the values of p and electron transport rate (ETR) decreased, but D and NPQ increased as Chla + bcontent decreased, suggesting that decrease inChla + bcontent led to lower PSII efficiency and it became necessary to increase dissipate excess energy. On the contrary, in 2000 PPFD, leaves with lower Chla + bcontent had relatively higher p and electron transport rate (ETR) values and lower D level, as well as tended to increase more in NPQ but decrease more in PRI values. The consistent relations between PRI and NPQ suggest that NPQ is mainly consisted ofthe xanthophyll cycle-dependentenergy quenching.Yellow-green cultivar showed lower Chla + bcontent but high carotenoids/Chla + b ratio and had high light protection ability under high PPFD. The precise management of photosynthetic parameters in response to light intensity can maximize the growth and development of Chinese kale plants.

The Relationship

Chlorophyll molecules absorb photosynthetic active radiation (PAR). The resulting excitation energy is dissipated by three competing pathways at the level of photosystem: (i) photochemistry (and, by extension, photosynthesis); (ii) regulated and constitutive thermal energy dissipation; and (iii) chlorophyll-a fluorescence (ChlF). Because the dynamics of photosynthesis modulate the regulated component of thermal energy dissipation (widely addressed as non-photochemical quenching (NPQ)), the relationship between photosynthesis, NPQ and ChlF changes with water, nutrient and light availability. In this study we characterised the relationship between photosynthesis, NPQ and ChlF when conducting light-response curves of photosynthesis in plants growing under different water, nutrient and ambient light conditions. Our goals were to test whether ChlF and photosynthesis correlate in response to water and nutrient deficiency, and determine the optimum PAR level at which the correlation is maximal. Concurrent gas exchange and ChlF light-response curves were measured for Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz and Triticum durum (L.) Desf plants grown under (i) intermediate light growth chamber conditions, and (ii) high light environment field conditions respectively. Plant stress was induced by withdrawing water in the chamber experiment, and applying different nitrogen levels in the field experiment. Our study demonstrated that ChlF was able to track the variations in photosynthetic capacity in both experiments, and that the light level at which plants were grown was optimum for detecting both water and nutrient deficiency with ChlF. The decrease in photosynthesis was found to modulate ChlF via different mechanisms depending on the treatment: through the action of NPQ in response to water stress, or through the action of changes in leaf chlorophyll concentration in response to nitrogen deficiency. This study provides support for the use of remotely sensed ChlF as a proxy to monitor plant stress dynamics from space.

Fluorescence Characteristics

The interactions among water content, chlorophyll a fluorescence emission, and potassium leakage were analyzed during dehydration in desiccation-tolerant bryophytes from xeric habitats (Hedwigia ciliata (Hedw.) P. Beauv., Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw., Leucodon sciuroides (Hedw.) Schwaegr., Orthotrichum cupulatum Brid., Pleurochaete squarrosa (Brid.) Lindb., Porella platyphylla (L.) Pfeiff., and Tortula ruralis (Hedw.) Gaertn., Meyer & Scherb.) and desiccation-intolerant bryophytes from mesic and hydric environments (Barbula ehrenbergii (Lor.) Fleisch., Cinclidotus aquaticus (Hedw.) B. & S., Conocephalum conicum (L.) Underw., Lunularia cruciata (L.) Dum. ex Lindb., Palustriella commutata (Hedw.) Ochyra, Philonotis calcarea (B. & S.) Schimp., and Rhynchostegium riparioides (Hedw.) Card.). Their fluorescence characteristics at low water content were low efficiency of photosynthetic quantum conversion, closed photosystem II reaction centers, and strong nonphotochemical quenching only in desiccation-tolerant species. Full restoration of fluorescence parameters upon rewatering in species from xeric environments indicated that the photosynthetic apparatus was fully functional after desiccation. Species from hydric and mesic habitats were unable to restore photochemical activity. This might be a consequence of photoinhibition but also of membrane damage, as indicated by the large leakage of potassium. It is suggested that the capacity to enhance thermal energy dissipation during dehydration might have evolved in species from xeric environments as an adaptation to the utilization of an erratic supply of water. This protective strategy would lower the probability of photodamage during water loss and thus maintain the photosynthetic apparatus in a quickly recuperable state.Key words: bryophytes, chlorophyll fluorescence, dehydration, desiccation tolerance, thermal energy dissipation.
