Abstract

In the study reported here, two different photoinhibitory phenomena were compared within a single plant species. Bean plants were grown in three different light intensities to simulate sun and shade environments. The effects of photoinhibitory treatments on in vivo CO(2) assimilation rates and in vitro chloroplast electron transport reactions were investigated and the extent to which carbon metabolism served to prevent photoinhibition was characterized. It was shown that the photoinhibition which follows exposure of intact leaflets of low light-grown bean plants to high light intensity in normal air is essentially similar to that which occurs when leaflets of plants grown in full sunlight are illuminated in the absence of CO(2) at low O(2) partial pressures.
