Heterogeneity of photosystem II reaction centers as influenced by heat treatment of barley leaves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Three functionally distinct populations of PSII reaction centers differing in the ability to keep the primary acceptors in a reduced state and to transfer electrons to PSI were estimated using chlorophyll fluorescence measurements in primary barley leaves exposed to elevated temperatures in the range of 37–51°C. The capacity of the PSII reaction centers to perform at least one light‐induced charge separation was not affected by a 5‐min heat treatment at temperatures up to 51°C. The first population containing Q B ‐non‐reducing centers corresponded to 15–20% of the total PSII activity up to 45°C. In a second population, PSII reaction centers maintained Q A reduction under light in the presence of oxygen, but not in the presence of a strong artificial PSI electron acceptor, methyl viologen. In a third population that gradually increases from zero at 37°C to about 60% at 45°C, the PSII centers were not able to keep Q A in the reduced state even in the presence of oxygen as the sole electron acceptor. Three electron transport pathways, the pseudocyclic one involving both PSII and PSI, the NAD(P)H‐dependent pathway mediated by PSI alone after the loss of activity in some PSII centers, and the PSI‐driven ferredoxin‐dependent route enhanced by weakly efficient PSII centers that are able to provide only catalytic amounts of electrons, are suggested to create a proton gradient in chloroplasts of heat‐stressed leaves thus protecting PSII reaction centers from photodamage.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
