Abstract

The degree of The degree of The degree of ${Zn}^{2+}$ effect on the photosynthetic electron transport and photophosphorylation activities in barley chloroplasts has been tested.${Zn}^{2+}$treatment was done in the 2 ways. One was that it was added into the chloroplasts suspensions isolated from the plants grown under the normal ${Zn}^{2+}$level (10$^{-6}$ M). The other was that the different concentrations of ${Zn}^{2+}$was applied in each growth medium. Then, it was not added into the chloroplasts suspensions isolated from the plants. PS II activity in both way of the treatments was more severely inhibited than PS I by the increment of ${Zn}^{2+}$ concentration. The photophosphorylation activity measured by pH measurement was gradually decreased with the increase of ${Zn}^{2+}$concentration in both ways, too. However, it was shown that M $n^{2+}$ could be near fully overcome the inhibitory effect of ${Zn}^{2+}$in PS II, and $Mg^{2+}$ could also reduce the Z $n^{2+}$ inhibition in the photophosphorylation. In the low concentrations of $Mg^{2+}$ (3 to 5$\times$10$^{-3}$ M) in the suspension, ${Zn}^{2+}$(2$\times$10$^{-5}$ M) could increase the activity of photophosphorylation. As compares to other cations, Z $n^{2+}$ caused less inhibitory effect on the photophosphorylation activity than Cu, Cd, but more than Pb and Ni. It may be assumed that a complex from reaction of Z $n^{2+}$ and mercaptoethanol was produced and it could reduce the stability of CPI band during SDS-PAGE.effect on the photosynthetic electron transport and photophosphorylation activities in barley chloroplasts has been tested.

${Zn}^{2+}$이 엽록체의 광합성계에 미치는 영향을 구명코져 보리 엽록체를 사용하여 전자전달, 광인산화반응의 활성측정 및 전기영동에 의한 CP복합체의 안정성을 조사하였다. ${Zn}^{2+}$은 추출된 분리엽록체 조건에서 뿐아니라, 생육시 반응용액 조건에서도 전자전달, 특히, PS II의 활성을 저해하였으며, 이보다 광인산화활성을 더욱 더 크게 저해하였다. 전자전달능의 저해는 ${Mn}^{2+}$에 의하여 회복될 수 있었으며, 광인산화반응에서 ${Mg}^{2+}$${Zn}^{2+}$는 서로 기능상의 경쟁을 나타냈다. 한편 전기영동에서 CP I은 ${Zn}^{2+}$과 mercaptoethanol이 존재하면 쉽게 파괴됨을 볼 수 있었다.
