| == Assessing plant physiology with Chlorophyll fluorescence ==
| |
| Light energy that has been absorbed by a leaf will excite [[electrons]] in [[chlorophyll]] molecules. Energy in [[photosystem II]] can be converted to [[chemical]] energy to drive [[photosynthesis]] (photochemistry). If photochemistry is inefficient, excess energy can damage the leaf. Energy can be emitted (known as energy quenching) in the form of heat (called [[non-photochemical quenching]]) or emitted as chlorophyll fluorescence. These three processes are in competition, so fluorescence yield is high when less energy is emitted as heat or used in photochemistry. Therefore, by measuring the amount of chlorophyll fluorescence, the efficiency of photochemistry and non-photochemical quenching can be assessed.
| |
| | |
| The fluorescence emitted from a leaf has a longer wavelength than the light absorbed by the leaf. Therefore, fluorescence can be measured by shining a defined wavelength of light onto a leaf and measuring the level of light emitted at longer wavelengths.
| |
| | |
| By measuring chlorophyll fluorescence, plant [[ecophysiology]] can be investigated. [[Chlorophyll fluorescence#Chlorophyll fluorometers|Chlorophyll fluorometers]] are used by plant researchers to assess plant stress. Gitelson (1999) states, "The ratio between chlorophyll fluorescence at 735 nm and the
| |
| wavelength range 700nm to 710 nm, F735/F700 was found to be linearly proportional to the
| |
| chlorophyll content (with determination coefficient, r2, more than 0.95) and thus this ratio can be used as a precise indicator of chlorophyll content in plant leaves."<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1016/S0034-4257(99)00023-1 | title = The Chlorophyll Fluorescence Ratio F735/F700 as an Accurate Measure of the Chlorophyll Content in Plants | year = 1999 | last1 = Gitelson | first1 = Anatoly A | last2 = Buschmann | first2 = Claus | last3 = Lichtenthaler | first3 = Hartmut K | journal = Remote Sensing of Environment | volume = 69 | issue = 3 | pages = 296}}</ref>

| == The Kautsky effect ==
| |
| {{main|Kautsky effect}}
| |
| Upon illumination of a dark-adapted leaf, there is a rapid rise in fluorescence from [[Photosystem II]] (PSII), followed by a slow decline. First observed by ''Kautsky et al., 1960'', this is called the Kautsky Effect.
| |
| | |
| The increase in fluorescence is due to PSII [[reaction center]]s being in a "closed" state. Reaction centers are "closed" when unable to accept further electrons. This occurs when [[electron acceptor]]s downstream of PSII have not yet passed their electrons to a subsequent electron carrier, so are unable to accept another electron. Closed reaction centres reduce the overall photochemical efficiency, and so increases the level of fluorescence. Transferring a leaf from dark into light increases the proportion of closed PSII reaction centres, so fluorescence levels increase for 1–2 seconds. Subsequently, fluorescence decreases over a few minutes. This is due to; 1. more "photochemical quenching" in which electrons are transported away from PSII due to enzymes involved in carbon fixation; and 2. more "non-photochemical quenching" in which more energy is converted to heat.
| |
| | |
| == Measuring fluorescence ==
| |
| Usually the initial measurement is the minimal level of fluorescence, <math>\,F_0</math>. This is the fluorescence in the absence of photosynthetic light.<ref name=guide/>
| |
| | |
| To use measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence to analyse photosynthesis, researchers must distinguish between [[photochemical]] quenching and [[non-photochemical quenching]] (heat dissipation). This is achieved by stopping photochemistry, which allows researchers to measure fluorescence in the presence of non-photochemical quenching alone. To reduce photochemical quenching to negligible levels, a high intensity, short flash of light is applied to the leaf. This transiently closes all PSII reaction centres, which prevents energy of PSII being passed to downstream electron carriers. Non-photochemical quenching will not be effected if the flash is short. During the flash, the fluorescence reaches the level reached in the absence of any photochemical quenching, known as maximum fluorescence <math>\,F_m</math>.<ref name=guide>{{cite web|url=http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/51/345/659.full.pdf+html |title=Chlorophyll fluorescence—a practical guide |publisher=Jxb.oxfordjournals.org |date=2000-04-01 |accessdate=2011-03-28}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| The efficiency of photochemical quenching (which is a proxy of the efficiency of PSII) can be estimated by comparing <math>\,F_m</math> to the steady yield of fluorescence in the light <math>\,F_t</math> and the yield of fluorescence in the absence of photosynthetic light <math>\,F_0</math>.<ref name=opti/>
| |
| The efficiency of non-photochemical quenching is altered by various internal and external factors. Alterations in heat dissipation mean changes in <math>\,F_m</math>. Heat dissipation cannot be totally stopped, so the yield of chlorophyll fluorescence in the absence of non-photochemical quenching cannot be measured. Therefore, researchers use a dark-adapted point (<math>F_m^0</math>) with which to compare estimations of non-photochemical quenching.<ref name=guide/><ref name=opti/>

| === Common fluorescence parameters ===
| |
| <math>\,F_0</math>: Minimal fluorescence (arbitrary units). Fluorescence level when all antenna pigment complexes associated with the photosystem are assumed to be open (dark adapted).<ref name=opti>{{cite web|url=http://www.optisci.com/cf.htm |title=Stress Testing |publisher=Optisci.com |date= |accessdate=2011-03-28}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| <math>\,F_m</math>: Maximal fluorescence (arbitrary units). Fluorescence level when a high intensity flash has been applied. All antenna sites are assumed to be closed.<ref name=opti/>
| |
| | |
| <math>\,F_{tr}</math>: Terminal fluorescence (arbitrary units). Fluorescence quenching value at the end of the test.
| |
| | |
| <math>\,T_{1/2}</math>: Half rise time from <math>\,F_0</math> to <math>\,F_m</math>.
| |
| | |
| === Calculated parameters ===
| |
| <math>\,F_v</math> is variable fluorescence. Calculated as <math>\,F_v</math> = <math>\,F_m</math> - <math>\,F_0</math>.<ref name=neo/>
| |
| | |
| <math>\tfrac{F_v}{F_m}</math> is the ratio of variable fluorescence to maximal fluorescence.
| |
| Calculated as <math>\frac{F_m-F_0}{F_m}</math>. This is a measure of the maximum efficiency of PSII (the efficiency if all PSII centres were open). <math>\tfrac{F_v}{F_m}</math> can be used to estimate the potential efficiency of PSII by taking dark-adapted measurements.<ref name=opti/>
| |
| | |
| <math>\,\Phi_{PSII}</math> measures the efficiency of Photosystem II. Calculated as <math>\frac{F_m-F_{tr}}{F_m}</math>. This parameter measures the proportion of light absorbed by PSII that is used in photochemistry. As such, it can give a measure of the rate of linear electron transport and so indicates overall photosynthesis.
| |
| | |
| <math>\,qP</math> (photochemical quenching). Calculated as <math>\,\frac{F_m-F_{tr}}{F_m-F_0}</math>. This parameter approximates the proportion of PSII reaction centres that are open.
| |
| | |
| Whilst <math>\,\Phi_{PSII}</math> gives an estimation of the efficiency, <math>\,qP</math> and <math>\tfrac{F_v}{F_m}</math> tell us which processes which have altered the efficiency. Closure of reaction centers as a result of a high intensity light will alter the value of <math>\,qP</math>. Changes in the efficiency of non-photochemical quenching will alter the ratio <math>\tfrac{F_v}{F_m}</math>.<ref name=opti/>
| |
| | |
| == Applications of the Theory ==
| |
| | |
| === PSII yield as a measure of photosynthesis ===
| |
| Chlorophyll fluorescence appears to measure of photosynthesis, but this is an over-simplification. Fluorescence can measure the efficiency of PSII photochemistry, which can be used to estimate the rate of linear electron transport by multiplying by the light intensity. However, researchers generally mean [[carbon fixation]] when they refer to photosynthesis. Electron transport and CO<sub>2</sub> fixation can correlate well, but may not correlate in the field due to processes such as photorespiration, nitrogen metabolism and the [[Mehler reaction]].

Many parameters were measured, including chlorophyll fluorescence since fluorescense is a measure of [[chloroplast]] photochemical efficiency. 1-MCP treatment was shown to delay the decrease in chlorophyll fluorescence. Greenness and photochemical efficiency decreased simultaneously after ethylene treatment, suggesting that changes in chlorophyll fluorescence <math>\,F_m</math> were responsible for the patterns of de-greening. After 7 and 8 days, <math>\,F_m</math> values of 1-MCP peel were ca. 3-fold the values of the other treatments, showing that 1-MCP treated fruit maintain their photochemical efficiency when the other treatment regimes do not.
| |
| | |
| === Relating electron transport to carbon fixation ===
| |
| A powerful research technique is to simultaneously measure chlorophyll fluorescence and [[gas exchange]] to obtain a full picture of the response of plants to their environment. One technique is to simultaneously measure CO<sub>2</sub> fixation and PSII photochemistry at different light intensities, in non-photorespiratory conditions. A plot of CO<sub>2</sub> fixation and PSII photochemistry indicates the electron requirement per molecule CO<sub>2</sub> fixed. From this estimation, the extent of [[photorespiration]] may be estimated. This has been used to explore the significance of photorespiration as a photoprotective mechanism during drought.
| |
| | |
| Fluorescence analysis can also be applied to understanding the effects of low and high temperatures.

Midday leaf gas exchange was measured using a [[photosynthesis system]], which measured net photosynthetic rate, gs, and intercellular CO<sub>2</sub> concentration (<math>C_i</math>). In the same leaves used for gas exchange measurements, chlorophyll ''a'' fluorescence parameters (initial, <math>\,F_0</math>; maximum, <math>\,F_m</math>; and variable, <math>\,F_v</math>) were measured using a fluorometer. The results showed that despite pioneer species and forest species occupying different habitats, both showed similar vulnerability to midday photoinhibition in sun-exposed leaves.

| | |
| === Measuring stress and stress tolerance ===
| |
| Chlorophyll fluorescence can measure most types of [[plant stress measurement|plant stress]]. Chlorophyll fluorescence can be used as a proxy of plant stress because environmental stresses, e.g. extremes of temperature, light and water availability, can reduce the ability of a plant to metabolise normally. This can mean an imbalance between the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll and the use of energy in photosynthesis.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/giles.johnson/default.php?page=research |title=Plant Stress Biology |publisher=Personalpages.manchester.ac.uk |date= |accessdate=2011-03-28}}</ref>

| == Chlorophyll fluorometers ==
| |
| The development of portable [[fluorometer]]s has allowed chlorophyll fluorescence to become a common method of measuring plant stress in plant ecophysiology studies. Chlorophyll fluorescence has been revolutionized by the use of modulated chlorophyll fluorometers in which the light source is modulated (rapidly switched on and off) and the detector is tuned to detect only fluorescence excited by the measuring light. This means the relative yield of fluorescence can be measured in the presence of background light. Crucially, this means chlorophyll fluorescence can be measured in the field in full sunlight.<ref name=guide/> Most modern fluorometers are modulated.[[File:CCM300 being used to measure the chlorophyll content of small samples.jpg|thumb|By measuring chlorophyll content nitrogen deficiency can be detected.]]
| |
| | |
| Some modulated fluorometers can determine both ambient light and dark adaptation parameters (Fo, Fm, Fv/Fm, Y, Ft, Foq, Fms and OJIP transients) and can calculate photochemical and non-photochemical quenching coefficients (qP, qN and NPQ). In contrast, some fluorometers are slimmed down, and designed to be portable and operated in one hand.
| |
| | |
| A recent advancement in chlorophyll fluorescence is the development of imaging fluorometers which can visualize spatial heterogeneities in photosynthetic activity of a sample.
| |
| | |
| Because of the link between chlorophyll content and [[nitrogen]] content in leaves, chlorophyll fluorometers can be used to detect nitrogen deficiency in plants, by [[Plant tissue test#Chlorophyll fluorometry|several methods]].
