To examine the chilling tolerance lipids, we compared the chilling susceptibility of photosystem II of wild type tobacco plants with that of transgenic tobacco plants, in which the sensitivity to chilling had been enhanced by genetic modification of fatty acid unsaturation of chloroplast membrane lipids. The transgenic tobacco plants were found to contain reduced levels of unsaturated membrane fatty acids by being tansformed with cDNA for glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase from squash. For the purpose of studying on the functional integrity of photosystem II during low-temperature photoinhibition, the photochemical efficiency was measured as the ration of the maximun fluorescence of chlorophyll (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II. In parallel with an investigation on the transgenic plants, susceptibility of chilling-resistant species, such as spinah and pea, and of chilling-sensitive ones, such as squash and sweet potato, to low-temperature photoinhibition was also compared in terms of room temperature-induced chlorophyll fluorescence from photosystem II. When leaf disks from the two genotypes of tobacco plants were exposed to light at 5$^{\circ}C$, the transgenic plants showed more rapid decline in photochemical activity of photosysytme II than wild-type plants. When they were pretreated with lincomycin, an inhibitor of chloroplast-encoded protein synthesis, the extent of photoinhibition was even more accelerated. More impottantly, they showed a comparable extent of photoinhibition in the presence of lincomycin, making a clear contrast to the discrepancy observed in the discrepancy observed in the absence of lincomycin. Restoration of Fv/Fm during recovery from low-temperature photoinhibition occurred more slowly in the transgenic tobacco plants than the wild-type. These findings are discussed in relation to fatty acid unsaturation of membrane phosphatidylglycerol. It appears that the ability of plants to rapidly regenerate the active photosystem II complex from might explain, in part, why chilling-resistant plants can toleratlow-temperature photoinhibition.

The susceptibility of chilling-resistant spinach plants. and of chilling-sensitive squash plants to photoinhibition was compared in terms of the activity of photosystem II, in relation to the deuce of fatty acid unsaturation of chloroplast membrane lipids. From thylakoid membranes of the plants. monogalactosyl diacylgtycerol, digalactosyl diacylglycerol. sulfoquinovosyt diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylglycerol were seperated as major lipid classes. It was found that the content of cis-unsaturated fatty acids of phosphatidylglycerol was greater by 32% in spinach than that in squash. When leaf disks were exposed to light at 5$\circ$C, 15$\circ$C and 25$\circ$C, photochemical efficiency of photosystem II. measured as the ratio of the variable to the maximum fluorescence of chlorophyll, declined markedly in squash plants, as compared to spinach plants. When leaf disks were exposed to strong light in the presence of lincomycin, an inhibitor of protein synthesis in chloroplasts, photoinhibition was accelerated in the two types of plants. Moreover, lincomycin treatment abolished the differences in the degree of susceptibility to strong light, which had been observed between the two types of plants. When the extent of photoinhibition of photosystem II-mediated electron transport was compared in thylakoid membranes isolated from the two types of plants, there were no differences in the degree of inactivation of photosystem II activity. However, when intact leaf disks were exposed to strong light either at 10$\circ$C or at 25$\circ$C, and then were allowed to recover either at 17$\circ$C or at 25$\circ$C in dim light. chilling-resistant plants such as spinach and pea showed marked recovery from photoinhibition, in contrast to chilling-sensitive plants, such as squash and sweet potato. whose recovery was strongly dependent on the temperature. These findings are discussed in relation to the unsaturation of fatty acids in membrane phosphatidylglycerol. It appears that fatty acid unsaturation of membrane lipids accelerates the recovery of photosystem H from photoinhibition, without affecting the photo-induced inactivation process of photosystem II associated with photoinhibition.

In this study, we analyzed the relationships between weather factors and photosystem II activity (F_v/F_m), as a measure of photochemical efficiency, in three cool-season turfgrasses commonly planted on golf courses in Jeju, South Korea: perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.). In all three turfgrasses, F_v/F_m was higher during late summer than during early summer. However, in late summer, F_v/F_m was significantly lower in perennial ryegrass than in the other two species. In early summer, F_v/F_m in perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass was positively correlated with mean low temperature and extreme minimum temperature, whereas, in late summer, this parameter in Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass was positively correlated with relative humidity, and in creeping bentgrass was negatively correlated with mean high temperature, mean low temperature, and extreme maximum temperature. These results indicate that raising low temperatures is favorable for perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass in early summer, whereas, in late summer, the lowering of high temperatures proves to be beneficial for creeping bentgrass, and raising relative humidity is conducive to the growth of Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass. These findings will contribute to improving the selection and management of turfgrasses on golf courses and sports fields.

CHilling tolereance of plants are closely correlated with the degree of fatty acid unsaturation of membrane lipids. We studied the effects of low-temperature photoinhibition on the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II in terms of fatty acid unsaturation of thylakoid membranes lipids isolated from chilling -sensitive plants and chilling -resistant ones. To directly test the chilling tolerance of photosynthetic machinery in relation to membrane lipids, we further compared wild type tobacco plants with that of transgenic tobacco plants, in which the sensitivity to chilling had been enhanced by genetic modification of fatty acid unsaturation of chloroplast membrane lipids. The transgenic tobacco plants were found to contain reduced levels of unsaturated membrane fatty acids after being transformed with cDNA for glycerol-3-phophate acyltransferase from squash. The functional integrity of photosystem II during and recovery of photosynthesis from low-temperature photoinhibition will be discussed in connection with the degree of fatty acid unsaturation of chlorophast membranes lipids.

본 연구는 가로 수목의 조기 활착으로 도로로부터 발생하는 탄소를 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 컨테이너(용기) 수목의 이식 효율성을 검증하였다. 컨테이너에서 재배된 수목은 이식 활착성을 높이고, 부적기 이식 제한을 극복할 수 있어 도로와 같은 변형된 토양환경에 적합하다. 가로수로서 가치가 높은 팥배나무를 대상으로 컨테이너에서 재배된 수목과 노지에서 재배된 수목을 각기 멀칭 및 제초처리하여 수목의 건전도를 비교하였다. 연구의 방법으로서 엽록소 형광 반응 분석을 이용한 팥배나무의 식재 방법별 광화학 반응 해석을 통해 건전성 평가하였다. 팥배나무의 식재 방법은 노지 멀칭, 컨테이너 제초 및 컨테이너 멀칭 재배로 구분하여 재배하였다. 연구의 결과로서 노지 멀칭 팥배나무에서 최대 형광량(P)이 가장 낮았으며, O-J 전이 과정 중 형광량이 증가하며, 광계 II 전자전달 효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 광계 II에서 광계 I까지의 전자전달 에너지 플럭스(RE1o/RC, RE1o/CS) 또한, 노지 멀칭 재배에서 20% 이상 감소하였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 도로와 같이 성토 및 절토로 인하여 수목 생장 여건이 불리한 상황에서 수목의 이식 후 조기 활착을 검증한 결과 컨테이너에서 재배된 수목이 노지에서 재배된 수목보다 활착이 빠르고, 수목 건전도가 높은 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 또한 식재 방법도 식재 후 제초에 의한 방법보다 멀칭 처리한 수목이 건전도가 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 도로와 같이 지속적으로 식재 후 관리가 어려운 여건에서는 주기적인 제초 처리보다는 이식 초기에 멀칭처리하는 것이 관리의 용이성 도모하며, 수목 건전도를 높일 수 있다.

여름철 자연조건에서 자라는 두릅나무과 식물 잎의 SOD활성과 광계II의 광화학적 효율의 차이를 분석하고 온도 스트레스와 paraquat의 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 두릅나무과 식물 6종의 잎으로부터 총 8개의 superoxide dismutase(SOD) isoenzyme이 구분되었다. 그 중, 섬오갈피나무 (Acanthopanax koreanum)에서는 두릅나무과 식물에 공통적인 2개의 isoenzyme (SOD 4와 SOD 6)이 높은 활성으로 검출되었고, 황칠나무(Dendropanax morbifera)에서는 두릅나무과 식물이 갖는 8개의 isoenzyme이 모두 검출되었다. 광계II의 광화학적 효율을 나타내는 Fv/Fm은 낙엽성 식물에서는 섬오갈피나무가 다른 종보다 높았으며, 상록성 식물에서는 음지에 위치해 있는 잎이 양지에 위치해 있는 잎보다 전반적으로 높게 나타났다. 섬오갈피나무 잎 disc의 Fv/Fm은 온도가 높아짐에 따라 감소하였지만 황칠나무 잎 disc에서는 35$^{\circ}C$에서 현저하게 감소하였다. 그리고 온도 스트레스와 함께 paraquat를 처리하였을 때 섬오갈피나무에서는 4$^{\circ}C$에서, 황칠나무에서는 35$^{\circ}C$에서 Fv/Fm이 억제되었다. 한편, SOD 활성은 섬오갈피나무 잎 disc에서는 4$^{\circ}C$와 28$^{\circ}C$에서 높았고 paraquat를 함께 처리하였을 매에는 모든 온도에서 활성이 높아졌다. .그러나, 황칠나무 잎 disc에서는 온도가 높아짐에 따라 SOD활성이 억제되었고 paraquat를 함께 처리하였을 때에는 더욱 억제되었다. 따라서, 섬오갈피나무는 황칠나무에 비하여 온도 스트레스나 산화적 스트레스에 효율적으로 대처하는 것으로 나타났다.

The change of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, O-J-I-P transients and psbA gene expression were investigated in the leaves of Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum on the natural condition in winter, in order to elucidate physiological responses of photosystem II (PS II) activity to winter stresses. The photochemical efficiencies of PS II, Fv/Fm, were significantly low in winter, contrary to its high value in summer. The values of I -qN and I-qP were lower in midday than at dawn or night both in summer and winter, although their decrease in midday was less in winter than in summer. In the O-J-I-P transients, the fluorescence intensity of J, I, P-step decreased remarkably depending on temperature drop in winter. And the D I reaction center protein of PS II decreased in late winter more than in early winter, concomitantly with relatively high content of description products of psbA gene in midday. These results indicate that low temperature in winter causes irreversible damage to PS II and subsequently leads to cell death.

구상나무 침엽의 엽록소형광과 생육지의 환경요인의 일변화를 계절별로 조사하여 환경요인의 변화에 따른 구상나무의 환경 적응성을 규명하였다. 광계 II의 광화학적 효율, 즉 Fv/Fm은 겨울에는 0.19-0.36으로 매우 낮은데 반하여 여름에는 0.8-0.86으로 높았다. 낮시간의 Fv/Fm이 겨울에는 아침, 저녁보다 상대적으로 높아서 겨울철 한낮의 환경조건이 구상나무 잎의 광합성기구에 우호적으로 작용을 하는 것으로 판단된다. 여름에는 낮시간에 광억제가 다소 일어나지만 Fv/Fm이 전반적으로 높아 낮시간의 환경 조건이 구상나무에 광피해를 야기하지는 않는 것으로. 해석되었다. 비광화학적 엽록소형광 소멸 능력, 즉 NPQ는 겨울에는 0-0.01로 밤과 낮의 차이가 없이 매우 낮았고, 여름에는 낮시간에 0.76으로 높았다. 따라서 구상나무는 여름철 환경 스트레스로부터 광계 II를 보호하는 조절 기구가 잘 발달한 것으로 판단되었다. 겨울에는 Fv/Fm이 온도, 광량, 상대습도와 모두 정의 상관관계를 보였으나 NPQ는 환경요인 모두와 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 여름에는 Fv/Fm이 온도와 광량과는 음의 상관관계를 나타낸 반면에 상대습도와는 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 구상나무 생육지의 조건하에서 겨울에는 온도, 광량, 상대습도의 증가는 모두 광합성 효율을 증가시키는 반면에 여름에는 높은 온도와 광량이 광억제를 야기할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

In this study the disassembly process of chlorophyII (ChI)protein complexes of a stay-green mutant (ore10 of Arabidopsis thaliana) was investigated during the dark incubation of detached leaves. During this dark-induced senescence (DIS), the Chi loss was delayed in the mutant, while the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) or Fv/Fm was accelerated when compared with the wild type (WT) leaves. This indicates that the decrease in Fv/Fm is a separate process and not causally-linked to the degradation of Chi during DIS of Arabidopsis leaves. In the native green gel electrophoresis of the Chi-protein complexes, which was combined with an additional twodimensional SDS-PAGE analysis, the delayed senescence of this mutant was characterized by the appearance of an aggregate at 1 d or 2 d, as well as very stable light harvesting complex II (LHCII) trimers until 5 d after the start of DIS. The polypeptide composition of the aggregates varied during the whole DIS at 5 d. Dl protein appeared to be missing in the aggregates. This result supports the idea of a faster depletion of functional PSH in the mutants compared with WT, as suggested by the earlier reduction of Fv/Fm and the stable Chl a/b ratio in the mutants. At 5 d, the WT leaves also often showed aggregates, but the polypeptide composition was different from those of ore10. The results presented suggest that the formation of aggregates, or stable LHCII trimers in the stay-green mutants, is a way to structurally protect Chi-protein complexes from serious proteolytic degradation. Detailed disassembly processes of Chi-protein complexes in WT and ore10 mutants are discussed.
