| Abstract | The influence of calcium channel blockers and ionophore on Cu$_{2+}$-induced changes of the photosynthetic activity of runner bean plants (Phaseolus coccineus L.) was investigated. Excess Cu$_{2+}$ was applied to leaves by injection or via the roots to examine a short/local or a long time/systemic effect of this metal, respectively. The changes in fluorescence parameters indicated that the mechanism of toxic action of Cu$_{2+}$ ions on the photosynthetic apparatus was only partially connected with Ca$_{2+}$ or Ca$_{2+}$ channels. In young plants Ca$_{2+}$ diminished especially photochemical and nonphotochemical dissipative processes induced by short- and long-term influence of excess Cu$_{2+}$. Blocking of Ca$_{2+}$ channels did not change direct Cu$_{2+}$ action on the photosynthetic activity, however, their opening distinctly intensified the inhibitory effect of the metal. After a longer accumulation peri od the effect of Cu$_{2+}$ ions did not change significantly due to modified Ca$_{2+}$ penetration through membranes (except that caused by La$^{3+}$). Copper directly introduced into older leaves diminished only at its highest concentration the activity both of the donor and acceptor sides of photosystem 2 (PS2) connected with Rfd decrease and increase of LNU. A similar effect was observed also after a long-term Cu$_{2+}$ action, but disturbances on the acceptor side of PS2 were observed only at a higher Ca$_{2+}$ content in the nutrient solution. Ca$_{2+}$ ions, particularly after openning of channels, intensified direct inhibitory Cu$_{2+}$ action on the photosynthetic activity expressed by decreased values of F$_{v}$/F$_{0}$ and Rfd. Lanthanum and verapamil, at a lower Ca$_{2+}$ content in the medium, decreased the photosynthetic activity of Cu$_{2+}$-treated plants. This effect was also seen after additional Ca$_{2+}$ supply to the leaves. |

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.
