Small light-harvesting antenna does not protect from photoinhibition.

High-light-induced decrease in photosystem II (PSII) electron transfer activity was studied in high- and low-light-grown pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) plants in vivo and in vitro. The PSII light-harvesting antenna of the low-light leaves was estimated to be twice as big as that of the high-light leaves. The low-light leaves were more susceptible to photoinhibition in vivo. However, thylakoids isolated from these two plant materials were equally sensitive to photoinhibition when illuminated in the absence of external electron acceptors. Only the intensity of the photoinhibitory light and the chlorophyll concentration of the sample, not the size of the light-harvesting antenna, determined the rate of PSII photoinhibition in vitro. Because excitation of the reaction center and not only the antenna chlorophylls is a prerequisite for photoinhibition of PSII activity, independence of photoinhibition on antenna size provides support for the hypothesis (Schatz EH, Brock H, Holzwarth AR [1988] Biophys J 54: 397-405) that the excitations of the antenna chlorophylls are in equilibrium with the excitations of the reaction centers. Better tolerance of the high-light leaves in vivo was due to a more active repair process and more powerful protective mechanisms, including photosynthesis. Apparently, some protective mechanism of the high-light-grown plants is at least partially active at low temperature. The protective mechanisms do not appear to function in vitro.
