Abstract

The reported effects of nitric oxide (NO), a signaling molecule, on the photochemical components of leaves are ambiguous. We examined the changes by a natural NO donor, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). The effect of GSNO on Pisum sativum leaves was studied after a 3-hour exposure in dark, moderate (ML), or high light (HL). The NO levels in GSNO-treated samples were at their maximum under HL, compared to those under ML or dark. Most of the elevated NO was decreased by 2-4-carboxyphenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO), a NO scavenger, confirming the NO increase. Treatment with GSNO caused inhibition of photosynthesis/respiration and restricted electron transport mediated by both photosystem (PS)II and PSI. However, the inhibition by NO-donor of PSII components was stronger than those of PSI. A marked increase in the PSI acceptor side limitation [Y(NA)] and a decrease in PSI donor side limitation [Y(ND)] indicated an upregulation of cyclic electron transport, possibly to balance the damage to PSII by GSNO. We suggest that NO aggravated the HL-induced inhibition of photosynthesis and dark respiration.
