摘要： The function of chloroplast ferredoxin quinone reductase (FQR)-dependent flow was examined by comparing a wild type tobacco and a tobacco transformant (Delta ndhB) in which the ndhB gene had been disrupted with their antimycin A (AA)-fed leaves upon exposure to chilling temperature (4 degrees C) under low irradiance (100 mu mol m(2) s(-1) photon flux density). During the chilling stress, the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem (PS) 2 (F-v/F-m) decreased markedly in both the controls and AA-fed leaves, and P700(+) was also lower in AA-fed leaves than in the controls, implying that FQR-dependent cyclic electron flow around PSI functioned to protect the photosynthetic apparatus from chilling stress under low irradiance. Under such stress, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), particularly the fast relaxing NPQ component (q(f)) and the de-epoxidized ratio of the xanthophyll cycle pigments, (A+Z)/(V+A+Z), formed the difference between AA-fed leaves and controls. The lower NPQ in AA-fed leaves might be related to an inefficient proton gradient across thylakoid membranes (Delta pH) because of inhibiting an FQR-dependent cyclic electron flow around PS1 at chilling temperature under low irradiance.
