| Abstract | The spectral global quantum yield ( $Y_{II}$ , electrons/photons absorbed) of photosystem II (PSII) was measured in sunflower leaves in State 1 using monochromatic light. The global quantum yield of PSI ( $Y_{I}$ ) was measured using low-intensity monochromatic light flashes and the associated transmittance change at 810 nm. The 810-nm signal change was calibrated based on the number of electrons generated by PSII during the flash (4 · O $_{2}$ evolution) which arrived at the PSI donor side after a delay of 2 ms. The intrinsic quantum yield of PSI ( $y_{I}$ , electrons per photon absorbed by PSI) was measured at 712 nm, where photon absorption by PSII was small. The results were used to resolve the individual spectra of the excitation partitioning coefficients between PSI ( $a_{I}$ ) and PSII ( $a_{II}$ ) in leaves. For comparison, pigment–protein complexes for PSII and PSI were isolated, separated by sucrose density ultracentrifugation, and their optical density was measured. A good correlation was obtained for the spectral excitation partitioning coefficients measured by these different methods. The intrinsic yield of PSI was high (y $_{I}$ = 0.88), but it absorbed only about 1/3 of quanta; consequently, about 2/3 of quanta were absorbed by PSII, but processed with the low intrinsic yield $y_{II}$ = 0.63. In PSII, the quantum yield of charge separation was 0.89 as detected by variable fluorescence $F_{v}$ / $F_{m}$ , but 29% of separated charges recombined (Laisk A, Eichelmann H and Oja V, Photosynth. Res. 113, 145–155). At wavelengths less than 580 nm about 30% of excitation is absorbed by pigments poorly connected to either photosystem, most likely carotenoids bound in pigment–protein complexes. |

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.
