Elevated Temperature Stress Effects on Photosystems: Characterization and evaluation of the nature of heat induced impairments

  • Chapter
Concepts in Photobiology

Summary

For tropical agriculture, elevated temperature stress is one of the most important environmental stresses. The photosynthetic apparatus is extremely sensitive to heat stress. In this chapter the nature of heat induced damage and the alterations in the structure and functions of photosystems by temperature stress are discussed and the relative sensitivities of the electron transport chain to thermal stress is evaluated. The donor side of PS II is the most sensitive site of impairment and this damage, even at moderately elevated temperature, is linked to the loss of 33 kDa extrinsic manganese stabilizing protein. The other sites of heat stress damage involve Cyt b6/f complex and formation of pH gradient linked to linear electron flow. Photosystem I is affected at higher temperatures. The possibility of alterations at the Q a /Q b site of Photosystem II has also been examined and thermal induced Photosystem functions have been evaluated.

We review the nature of changes in structure of photosystems especially PS II and associated changes in membrane-linked functions such as solar energy harvest utilization and partitioning by the two photosystems as probed by chlorophyll fluorescence and luminescence.

The various factors that provide thermostability have also been discussed. Elevated temperature stress on plants is complex, and involves multiple sites of impairment that occur simultaneously or sequentially depending on the temperature range and conditions. Better understanding of the nature of heat-induced alterations under in vitro, in situ and in vivo situations is required for evolving strategies for high temperature stability of photosystems in plants.
