Results showed that D1 protein contents of PSⅡ in photosynthetic apparatus dropped, the generation of antheraxanthin (A) and zeaxanthin (Z) of xanthophyll cycle were inhibited partly, PSⅡ photochemical efficiency (F v/F m)and non-photochemical quenching (q N) were also decreased obviously. In addition, endogenous active oxygen scavenger—superoxide dismutase (SOD) reduced, superoxide anion radical (O -· 2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulated, as a result, photooxidation of leaves occurred under chilling temperature and strong light stress conditions. Obvious differences in the changes of the above mentioned physiological parameters between indica and japonica rice were observed. Experiments in leaves treated with inhibitors under chilling temperature and strong light conditions showed that indica rice was more sensitive to chilling temperature with strong light and subjected to photooxidation more than japonica rice. Notable positive correlation between D1 protein contents and F v/F m or (A+Z)/(A+Z+V), and a marked negative correlation between F v/F m and MDA contents were obtained by regression analysis in indica and japonica rice during chilling temperature and strong light conditions. According to the facts mentioned above, it was inferred that PSⅡ photochemical efficiency(F v/F m) was the key index to forecast for the prediction of photooxidation under stress circumstances and the physiological basis were the synthetic capacity of D1 protein and the protection of xanthophyll cycle.展开更多

PA band shifts as compared to their positions in aqueous Nd 3+ are used to calculate the nephelauxetic parameters of the compounds. The variation of these parameters and correlation with the nature of metal ligand bonding were discussed. A novel method is introduced to determine the relative values of oscillator strengths and Judd Ofelt parameters of powdered samples using PA spectroscopy. It is found that a linear correlation exists between relative values of τ 2 and oscillator strengths of hypersensitive transitions of the title compounds. It is hopetul that the new method of PA technique may serve for the Judd Ofelt quantitative analysis of powdered rare earth compounds.展开更多
The photoacoustic(PA) spectra of neodymium oxide, Nd 2O 3(A type), and trisfluoroacetylactone(TFA) and hexafluoroacetylactone(HFA) neodymium complexes, Nd(TFA) 3·2H 2O and Nd(HFA) 3·2H 2O, are repo...The photoacoustic(PA) spectra of neodymium oxide, Nd 2O 3(A type), and trisfluoroacetylactone(TFA) and hexafluoroacetylactone(HFA) neodymium complexes, Nd(TFA) 3·2H 2O and Nd(HFA) 3·2H 2O, are reported. The nephelauxetic ratio β , bonding parameter b 1/2 , and Sinha parameter δ were calculated based on their PA spectra. The variation of these parameters and correlation of them with the nature of metal ligand bonding were discussed. The intensity analysis of PA bands of f f transitions of neodymium ion was carried out by calculating the intensity branching vector and the environmental effects on the f f transitions of neodymium ion were discussed also. The branching vectors of f f transition of Nd(TFA) 3·2H 2O and Nd(HFA) 3·2H 2O are similar, which indicates the perturbation of the two ligand fields is similar. As the oscillator strength of the hypersensitive transition increases, the branching vector exhibits a corresponding increase. The PA spectra provide a new tool for the study of the interaction between Ln 3+ ions and the environment.展开更多
