Abstract excerpt
Rapid degradation of the photosystem-II reaction center protein, D1, is driven by visible and ultraviolet irradiance at low photon-flux in the intact plant. We find that all inhibitors of electron flow that replace bound plastoquinone (QB) from its niche on D1 inhibit UV-B-driven D1 degradation, but only some inhibit visible light-driven degradation. Stabilization of the D1 protein by nitrophenol type inhibitors...
