Abstract
Oxygen dependent electron transport in 13 phylogenic groups of higher plants was studied with the changes in the fluorescence induction by oxygen removal. The oxidation of intersystem pool by oxygen and the Mehler reaction were higher and leaf Cu content was lower in the early-evolved higher plants than that in the recently-evolved higher plants. It was concluded that appearance of plastocyanin as a donor of PSI is the final stage for formation of whole chain electron transport in higher plants.
