Abstract:
The photosynthetic electron transport chain is mineral rich. Specific mineral deficiencies can modify the electron transport chain specifically. Here, it is shown that on the basis of 2 short Chl fluorescence and P700 + measurements (approx. 1 s each), it is possible to discriminate between 10 out of 12 different mineral deficiencies: B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, N, P, S, and Zn. B- and Mo-deficient plants require somewhat longer measurements to detect the feedback inhibition they induce. Eight out of twelve deficiencies mainly affect PS I and NIR measurements are, therefore, very important for this analysis. In Cu- and P-deficient plants, electron flow from the plastoquinone pool to PS I, is affected. In the case of Cu-deficiency due to the loss of plastocyanin and in the case of P-deficiency probably due to a fast and strong generation of Photosynthetic Control. For several Ca-, K-, and Zn-deficient plant species, higher levels of reactive oxygen species have been measured in the literature. Here, it is shown that this not only leads to a loss of Pm (maximum P700 redox change) reflecting a lower PS I content, but also to much faster P700 + re-reduction kinetics during the I 2 -P (~30–200 ms) fluorescence rise phase. The different mineral deficiencies affect the relation between the I 2 -P and P700 + kinetics in different ways and this is used to discuss the nature of the relationship between these two parameters.
