Water stress-sensitized photoinhibition in senescing cotyledons of clusterbean: Changes in thylakoid structures and inactivation of photosystem 2

Abstract: Seedlings of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba were grown on Petri dishes either in water or water plus 3 % PEG-6000 to induce water stress. The senescing cotyledons experiencing the stress exhibited loss in contents of leaf proteins and chlorophyll (Chl) and a decline in oxygen evolution. The effect of PEG treatment was more pronounced at moderate (MI) than low (LI) irradiance. The stress-induced loss in the activity of superoxide dismutase and increase in the thylakoid lipid peroxidation accompanied a change in the ph… Show more

“…The homogenate was filtered through a four layer cheesecloth, then centrifuged (5009g) at 4°C for 2 min to remove residual debris. Isolated chloroplasts in the supernatant were collected by centrifugation again at 4°C and 1,5009g for 10 min, and then washed using the same extract medium (Deo et al 2006). Thylakoid membrane in the pellet was prepared by subjecting the chloroplasts to a small volume of osmotic shock medium (10 mM Hepes-NaOH at pH 7.5, 25 mM KCl).…”

“…Protein degradation in senescent leaves is an important hydrolytic process that plays a crucial role in nutrient recycling, particularly nitrogen. Many genes that are associated with senescence and encode proteases are synthesized de novo or are induced during senescence (Smarth 1994, Deo et al 2006. The reduction in protein content may be related to an imbalance between their synthesis and degradation, which may result in a decrease in the content of enzymes, such as Rubisco, resulting in a reduction in photosynthetic rate and a lower sugar production (Table 2) (Thimann et al 1977, Smarth 1994, Tezara et al 1999.…”

“…The work conducted so far to understand the mechanism of damage and adaptation of photosynthetic apparatus of green plants experiencing flooding stress (FS) is meager (Mauchamp and Methy 2004, Panda et al 2006). The photosynthetic apparatus, especially its photosystem (PS) 2 is very sensitive to different abiotic stresses (Strasser and Tsimilli-Michael 2001, 2006, Deo et al 2006. The degree of stress induced damage and stress adaptations can therefore be examined by monitoring the behaviour of the photosystem exposed to FS.…”
