Abstract

Chilling-sensitive plants are damaged severly by chilling in the light. The activity of photosystem I(PSI) is known to be inhibited by low light-chilling and its iron-sulfur centers are presumed to be its primary target. In this report, the effect of chilling at 4$^{\circ}C$ in the light was investigated in the level of pigment-protein complexes in cucumber leaves compared with pea leaves. (omitted)
