摘要
Exposure of thylakoid membranes of green plants to high temperature promotes the appearance of free radicals resulting in a thermoluminescence (TL) band peaking around 75-degrees-C. The occurrence of this band with the same intensity in preilluminated and in dark-adapted samples demonstrates that, contrary to several other TL bands, it is not a result of charge recombination. The high temperature TL band is oxygen dependent. Parallel to TL emission singlet oxygen is formed, as demonstrated by spin trapping EPR measurements and by the decrease of TL intensity in the presence of sodium-azide, a singlet oxygen scavenger. We suggest that the 75-degrees-C TL band is a result of a temperature-enhanced interaction between molecular oxygen and the photosynthetic membrane, possibly involving lipid peroxidation. The spectral maximum of the emission (around 720 nm) implies thai light emission occurs upon energy transfer from an excited product to chlorophyll molecules destablized from pigment-protein complexes.
