Abstract The dynamics of changes in the photochemical activity of photosystem II (PSII) and low-temperature spectra at 77 K in the first leaves of 11-day winter wheat plants Triticum aestivum L., as well as structural changes in chlorophyll-protein complexes (CPC) of thylakoid membranes during recovery after a short-term (20 min) heating at a temperature of 42°C, were studied. Changes in the Fv/Fm, F735/F695, and F735/F685 ratios indicate inhibition of PSII immediately after heating. Using nondenaturing electrophoresis, it was shown that the light-harvesting Chl a/b complex of PSII does not aggregate immediately after heating but after several hours, after 6 h the desagregation of CPC was observed, which was consistent with an increase in the Fv/Fm ratio upon recovery. The influence of temperature, intensity, and quality of light (white, blue, and red light) on the recovery of PSII activity and low-temperature fluorescence spectra was studied. It was concluded that the recovery is a photo-activated low-energy process, independent of photosynthesis, and the most effective in blue light.

Structure And Functions

The precise nature of interactions between the chloropnyll-protein complexes related to photosystem I or photosystem II and the acyl lipids in the thylakoid membranes is not yet fully elucidated. Analyses of the lipid content of isolated photosystem supramolecular complexes reveal that they are integral components of these complexes. However, the relations between certain acyl lipids and the specific structure and functions of the complexes investigated are still widely discussed. The most generally accepted phenomenon is the fact of participation of phosphatidylglycerol containing the unique <em>trans-</em>Δ<sup>3</sup> -hexadecenoic acid in the oligomerization of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complex II.
