“…For example, in Arabidopsis, AtFd1 and AtFd2 represent about 10% and 90% of the total photosynthetic Fd pool, respectively (Hanke et al, 2004), and under low growth light, pea leaves express mainly PsFd2, while PsFd1 cannot be detected (Khristin and Akulova, 1976;Peltier et al, 2000). However, under conditions thought to stimulate CEF, such as drought or high light, transcripts of AtFd1, but not AtFd2 increase significantly (Lehtimäki et al, 2010), while PsFd1 becomes the most abundant isoprotein in pea leaves (Khristin and Akulova, 1976). Moreover, studies conducted with both knockout and knocked-down (RNA interference [RNAi]) Arabidopsis plants have suggested that the minor AtFd1 isoform might be primarily engaged in CEF-PSI, whereas AtFd2 is mainly responsible for LEF, although some redundancy in these functions has also been observed Voss et al, 2008).…”
