Acceptor Side

Abstract Herbicidal halogen substituted 4-hydroxypyridines are inhibitors of photosynthetic electron flow in isolated thylakoid membranes by interfering with the acceptor side of photosystem II. Tetrabromo-4-hydroxypyridine, the most active compound found, has a pI50-value of 7.6 in the inhibition of oxygen evolution in both the reduction of an acceptor of photosystem I and an acceptor of photosystem II. The new inhibitors displace both metribuzin and ioxynil from the membrane. The 4-hydroxypyridines, like ioxynil, have unimpaired inhibitor potency in Tristreated chloroplasts, whereas the DCMU-type family of herbicides does not. It is suggested that 4-hydroxypyridines are complementary to phenol-type inhibitors, and a common essential element is proposed. The 4-hydroxypyridines do not inhibit photosystem I or non-cyclic electron flow through the cytochrome b/f complex. But they do have a second inhibition site in photosynthetic electron transport since they inhibit ferredoxin-catalyzed cyclic electron flow, indicating an antimycin-like property. A comparison of the in vitro potency of the compounds with the in vivo potency shows no correlation. A major herbicidal mode of action of the group is related to the inhibition of carotenoid synthesis, and access to the chloroplast lamellae in vivo for inhibition of electron transport may be restricted.

Abstract Cyclic electron transport around photosystem I (PS I) was discovered more than a half-century ago and two pathways have been identified in angiosperms. Although substantial progress has been made in understanding the structure of the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex, which mediates one route of the cyclic electron transport pathways, its physiological function is not well understood. Most studies focused on the role of the NDH-dependent PS I cyclic electron transport in alleviation of oxidative damage in strong light. In contrast, here it is shown that impairment of NDH-dependent cyclic electron flow in rice specifically causes a reduction in the electron transport rate through PS I (ETR I) at low light intensity with a concomitant reduction in CO2 assimilation rate, plant biomass and importantly, grain production. There was no effect on PS II function at low or high light intensity. We propose a significant physiological function for the chloroplast NDH at low light intensities commonly experienced during the reproductive and ripening stages of rice cultivation that have adverse effects crop yield.

Isolated Chloroplasts

Photosystem I related phosphorylation of isolated chloroplasts was investigated with special reference to the stoichiometry between ATP production and electron transprt (ATP: 2e⊖). The system studied contained DCMU to inhibit electron flow from photosystem II, ascorbate and DPIP to supply electrons to photosystem I, and methylviologen as electron acceptor. The following results were obtained:1. Basal electron transport is stimulated by the addition of the phosphorylating system, indicating that phosphorylation is really coupled to non-cyclic electron flow. The ratio ATP: 2e⊖ is 1, when the increase of electron flow obtained by the addition of ADP and phosphate is correlated to phosphorylation. This ratio is constant upon varying several parameters including DPIP concentration and light intensity.2. In the absence of methylviologen a DPIP catalyzed cyclic phosphorylation takes place (cf. I. c.7, 11, 12). Phosphorylation is not increased by the addition of methylviologen, indicating that both, the cyclic DPIP mediated and the non-cyclic system are coupled to the same phosphorylation site and limited by the same reaction step.3. In the absence of oxygen a methylviologen supported cyclic phosphorylation occurs. Comparing optimum rates, phosphorylation under these conditions is about twice as high as in the noncyclic system. Therefore we conclude that two phosphorylation sites are involved in methylviologen catalyzed cyclic electron transport. This system is sensitive against trypsin treatment of the chloroplasts, whereas the linear system is not.4. The two cyclic systems as well as the non-cyclic system are coupled to reversible proton uptake. Furthermore the linear system exhibits an irreversible uptake of hydrogen ions, which is stoichiometric to electron flow. From the reversible and the irreversible components of the pH changes the ratio of the proton pump to electron transprt can be calculated. Under steady state conditions the ration H⨁ : e⊖ approaches 1.
