The effect of chloroplast movement on these fluorescence parameters reduces the accuracy of estimations of the size of de-excitation processes, but there is no method to calculate correct parameters from altered (fluctuated) parameters. Chloroplast movement was recently identified as the “middle” kinetic component of NPQ. In this paper, we devised a complex but reasonable mathematical method to remove the effect of chloroplast movement on fluorescence parameters, based on our previously reported fluorescence theory. The fraction of “S fluctuation” (designated as σ) was estimated from fluorescence observations and used to calculate the non-fluctuated Fs and F′m. fluorescence yields. From the σ values, the fractional change of light absorbance by a leaf caused by chloroplast movement was estimated at 70% - 100%, which varied according to the experimental conditions and plant species. The effect of photoinhibition on fluorescence parameters was also examined in this paper. The photochemical and non-photochemical de-excitation sizes during photoinhibition (measured by the parameters qPI and qSlow) changed on a single regression line. Using this correlation, qPI and qSlow can be predicted from Fv/Fm, and the non-fluctuated Fm and Fo values can be estimated from the fluctuated F″m and F″o values.展开更多
The changes of photochemical quenching(q P) and non-photochemical quenching(q N)of chlorophyll a fluorescence in leaves of four tree seedlings (Gleditsia sinensis,Juglans regia, Diospyros kaki and Diospyros lotus) wer...The changes of photochemical quenching(q P) and non-photochemical quenching(q N)of chlorophyll a fluorescence in leaves of four tree seedlings (Gleditsia sinensis,Juglans regia, Diospyros kaki and Diospyros lotus) were different between two different water stress ways:detached drought treatment and potted drought treatment. After 4 hours dehydration by leaf detaching,the q P values had significant decrease except J. regia, only 6 hours later, the q P values compared with contrast decreased significantly in four tree seedlings(P>0.05), but the range of reduction(G. sinensis, J. regia and D. lotus) was just 2.5% to 6.4%. D. kaki,however,got to 31.3%. While the q N values increased significantly with conducting dehydration of the detached leaves. However, the q P values of four species showed no significant decrease when they were growing in pots under soil water stress(40%～60%RWC) for 30 days; and the q N values decreased obviously with a exception in J. regia, which was consistent with that of detached leaf treatment. The results suggested that some difference or changes in mechanism of excess light energy dissipation might perform in four seedlings by short-term and long-term water stress.展开更多
