Abstract
Summary.The effect of prolonged ABA and JA-Me application to the growth medium of pea seedlings on PSII light reactions was assessed by monitoring of Hill reaction activity, fluorescence induction, kinetic behaviour of oxygen evolving PSII centres and polypeptide analysis of thylakoids and purified PSII oxygen evolving complexes (PSII OEC). Results show the significant inhibitory effect of the two endogenous plant growth regulators on PSII activity and some specific alterations in the structural organization of chloroplast membranes. Restoration of Hill reaction activity with DPC led to the conclusion that the used phytohormones have a direct effect on the PSII donor side and oxygen evolving enzyme complex itself. In addition, ABA and JA-Me treatment led to an increase in the number of PSII β centres situated in stroma lamellae regions, which are functioning by the cooperative mechanism for O 2 production. The polypeptide composition of grana and stroma lamellae vesicles confirmed this conclusion.
