Abstract:

Chlorophyll fluorescence has exclusive role for determining the kinetics of light energy absorption, transmission, dissipation and distribution in leaf photosynthesis. In this study, a mutant was screened by chlorophyll fluorescence equipment from EMS mutagenesis of wild-type Arabidopsis Col-0, which showed lower Fv/Fm than wild-type and was named lcf3-1 (lower chlorophyll fluorescence 3-1). Genetic analysis of lcf3-1 mutant suggested that the mutation was controlled by single recessive gene. LCF3 gene, which encodes PsbW protein, wasisolated by map-based cloning. The T-DNA insertion mutant lcf3-2 showed low chlorophyll fluorescence phenotype as lcf3-1,and this phenotype could be complemented by LCF3 gene of wild-type. These experiments implied that the phenotype of low-chlorophyll-fluorescence resulted from LCF3 gene mutation. Furthermore, our results indicated that LCF3 protein is located in chloroplast and LCF3 gene is expressed in various tissues. PsbW protein is important for the contact and stability between several PSII-LHCII supercomplexes.
