| Abstract | Isolated, intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. var. “Long Standing Bloomsdale”) chloroplasts were heated in the dark and the effect of this treatment on photosynthetic activities was determined at 25°C. Dark incubation of the chloroplasts for 10 minutes at 35°C and pH 8.1 resulted in a 50% decline in CO2 photoassimilation. This decline in photosynthetic performance was dependent upon time, temperature, and medium pH with the optimum effect at acidic pH values. Photosynthetic decline was not observed if MgATP, MgADP, or a mixture of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, aldolase, and oxaloacetate or ribose 5-phosphate and oxaloacetate was added prior to but not after the temperature pretreatment. A chloroplast preparation reconstituted with thylakoids and stroma from pretreated (35°C, 10 minutes, pH 8.1) intact chloroplasts and supplemented with ferredoxin, ADP, and NADP was photosynthetically competent, indicating that ATP-coupled electron flow and the enzymes comprising the Benson-Calvin cycle remained stable during the dark treatment. In contrast, exposure of isolated thylakoids to 35°C for 10 minutes uncoupled photophosphorylation from NADP and ferricyanide reduction. We propose that the decline of intact chloroplast photosynthesis is the result of a decrease in the content of or a change in the ratios of the adenine nucleotides. Maintenance of an adequate supply of adenine nucleotide is the effect of the externally added MgATP or of chloroplastic respiration of a sugar phosphate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
