Abstract:The effects of heat stress on activities of photosystem Ⅱ in leaves of Actinidia arguta (Sieb.et Zucc.) Planch.ex Miq.(Kuilü,a cultivar) were studied by chlorophyll a fluorescence transient and JIP-test.The results showed that:(1)Fv/Fm of leaves did not significantly change at 35-48 ℃,but decreased at 52 ℃.(2)With increase of leaf temperature,the relative variable fluorescence at J and I steps of fluorescence transient (Vj and Vi) significantly decreased,but increased at 52 ℃,the relative variable fluorescence Vk increased gradually.(3)With the increase of heat treatment time,the Vj and Vi increased gradually,but Ψo decreased gradually,indicating that the acceptor side of PSⅡ was damaged severely.In summary,activity of the donor side and the acceptor side of PSⅡ was inhibited by high temperature.The donor side was more sensitive to heat stress.JIP-test parameters can evaluate effectively activity of photosystems Ⅱ in leaves of A.arguta under different temperatures.
