Summary
Fluorescence induction kinetics of wheat leaves are studied under N2, 2% O2, 20% O2 and 0.2% CO2.
Fluorescence quenching occurs very slowly when leaves are deprived of external electron acceptors as does with DCMU treated leaves. After a dark period there no significant endogenous electron acceptors inside the chloroplast.
O2 and CO2 are good electron acceptors but their effects on quenching are different, CO2 plus O2 kinetics are not a combination of CO2 and O2 ones.
CO2 drives a specific fluorescence transient about 4 min after light onset. This effect could be related to initiation of the Calvin cycle and/or the metabolite translocation across the enveloppe of the chloroplast.
