Abstract
Exposure of leaves, algal cells or isolated chloroplasts, to high light intensities results in marked decreases in their photosynthetic activity (see ref. [1] and [2] for reviews). Two distinct processes can be identified, photoinhibition and photobleaching. Photoinhibition is an oxygen-independent inhibition of PSII activity involving the degradation of the Q,-binding protein located close to the PSII reaction centre [3]. Photobleaching, in contrast, involves an oxygen-dependent loss of bulk photosynthetic pigment.
