Abstract

The effect of light quality during plant growth of chloroplast membrane organization and function in peas (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) was investigated. In plants grown under photosystem (PS) I-enriched (far-red enriched) illumination both the PSII/PSI stoichiometry and the electrontransport capacity ratios were high, about 1.9. In plants grown under PSII-enriched (far-red depleted) illumination both the PSII/PSI stoichiometry and the electron-transport capacity ratios were significantly lower, about 1.3. In agreement, steady-state electron-transport measurements under synchronous illumination of PSII and PSI demonstrated an excess of PSII in plants grown under far-red-enriched light. Sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of chlorophyll-containing complexes showed greater relative amounts of the PSII reaction center chlorophyll-protein complex in plants grown under farred-enriched light. Additional changes were observed in the ratio of light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein to PSII reaction center chlorophyll-protein under the two different light-quality regimes. The results demonstrate the dynamic nature of chloroplast structure and support the notion that light quality is an important factor in the regulation of chloroplast membrane organization and-function.
