Genotypic variation of Rubisco expression, photosynthetic electron flow and antioxidant metabolism in the chloroplasts of chill-exposed cucumber plants.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic improvement of agronomic crops is necessary to cope with chilling stress. To identify the physiological factors responsible for this genotypic difference in chill-induced inhibition of photosynthesis, leaf CO2 assimilation, the electron flux in the chloroplast and the antioxidant metabolism in isolated chloroplasts were examined in two genotypes of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) plants with distinct chilling...
