Revisiting these questions is incited by recent findings discovering that PSII, in addition to its open and closed state, assumes a light-adapted charge-separated state and that chlorophyll <i>a</i> fluorescence induction (ChlF), besides the photochemical activity of PSII, reflects the structural dynamics of its reaction center complex. Thus, the photochemical quantum yield of PSII cannot be determined from the conventional ChlF-based protocol. Consequently, the codependent quantity - the quantum yield of the so-called nonregulatory constitutive nonphotochemical quenching (npq) - loses its physical meaning. Processes beyond photochemistry and regulatory npq should be identified and characterized by multifaceted studies, including ChlF. Such investigations may shed light on the putative roles of dissipation and other energy-consuming events in the stress physiology of photosynthetic machinery.</p>","PeriodicalId":20157,"journal":{"name":"Photosynthetica","volume":"62 2","pages":"204-208"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11613829/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142801693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NaCl (150 mM) exposure alone suppressed a growth of seedling, weakened photosynthetic efficiency and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters, reduced photosynthetic pigments, Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM) contents, and downregulated TaCaM expression in wheat leaves. The opposite changes of these parameters were caused by 0.5 or 1 mM CaCl2 treatments alone. Moreover, 0.5 or 1 mM CaCl2 application effectively alleviated sodium salt-induced changes of these parameters, which was blocked by LaCl3 or EGTA. Therefore, exogenous Ca presence effectively promoted the growth of NaCl-stressed wheat seedlings through the enhancement of photosynthesis and Chl synthesis mediated by the Ca-CaM signal.","PeriodicalId":20157,"journal":{"name":"Photosynthetica","volume":"16 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135634143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
