Abstract
  • When plants are grown under stable light conditions their photosynthetic apparatus undergoes a long-term acclimation process. Acclimation to different light intensities involves changes in the organization and/or abundance of protein complexes in the thylakoid membranes. In this study, spinach plants were exposed to differing light intensities, and the structural organization of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of photosystem II (LHCII) was investigated by analysing their trimeric subunits. Plants were exposed to three different light intensities, 100 ?mol quanta m?² s?¹, 200 ?mol quanta m?² s?¹ and an elevated light intensity, 400 ?mol quanta m?² s?¹, sufficient to provoke a moderate stress response in the form of down regulation of PSII. \"MicroRotofor\" analysis showed the presence of LHCII with different pIs and revealed a clear decline in their abundance as light intensity increased from 100 to 400 ?mol quanta m?² s?¹. The three subunits (Lhcb1, Lhcb2, Lhcb3) behaved differently from each other as: Lhcb1 decreased more significantly than Lhcb2, whereas Lhcb3 was reduced only at a light window at which Lhcb1 and Lhcb2 abundance has already been depleted under intense irradiation. Interestingly, we also found that isoforms of Lhcb1 subunit (Lhcb1.1; 1.2; 1.3) behaved differently in response to elevated light intensity, suggesting an essential role of these isoforms to light adaption and consequently explaining the presence of this multigenic family, often identified among higher plants.
