We investigated the activities of choline kinase, CTP: phosphorylcholine cytidyltransferase, and phosphatase during the greening of etiolated barley seedlings. Activities of choline kinase in leaves increased until 6 hours after illumination and decreased considerably after 6 hours, while activities of CTP: phosphorylcholine cytidyltransferase increased after illumination. On the contrary, changes of these two enzymatic activities showed reverse pattern in roots. The activities of phosphatase which hydrolyze phosphorylcholine decreased in leaves but changed little in roots during greening. The concentration of phosphorylcholine increased in xylem exudate and in roots during greening, while decreased in leaves. These results suggested that more phosphorylcholine arrive in leaves from roots as greening of etiolated barley seedlings.

The onset of photophosphorylation at the various stages of greening showed different patterns with varying concentrations of Pi. With further greening, ATP formation occurred at the lower concentration of Pi (48 hrs; 0.05 mM). At early stages of greening, more Pi was required for photophosphorylation (6 hrs; 5.0 mM). The addition of cell-free extracts of etiolated barley seedlings resulted in the competitive inhibition of photophophorylation. The apparent inhibition by cell-free extracts were gradually decreased during greening of etiolated barley seedlings. We found that the inhibitors of photophosphorylation in cell-free extracts were some organic phosphates and most of them was P-choline. P-choline inhibited photophosphorylation competitively with Pi and its content was decreased considerably in greening. It is likely that P-choline partly delay the photophorylation in early stages of greening.

The effects on photosynthesis of NaCl(0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 M) were examined in etiolated barley seedlings. Chlorophyll(Chl) a, Chl b and carotenoid contents, Chl a fluorescence and quenching coefficients of Chl fluorescence have been determined in the primary leaves of etiolated barley seedlings cultivated under low light(60 $\mu$㏖ $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). Chl a, b, and carotenoid contents were decreased remarkably in comparison with the control at 0.4 M NaCl. However, the value of Fo and Fv were decreased at 0.6 M NaCl and the ratio of Fv/Fm were deceased at 1.0 M NaCl. Chlorophyll synthesis was seriously inhibited from 0.4 M NaCl, and the photosynthetic electron transport system was inhibited from 0.6 M NaCl. Quantum of photosystem II reaction center was inhibited at 1.0 M NaCl. The effects of NaCl on the Chl content were raised in a 6 hrs, but the effects of NaCl on the value of Fo, Fv and Fv/Fm were raised in 30 hrs. The value of qP was decreased in comparison with the control at all concentrations, but there was a small change in the value qE. These results provide evidence that NaCl inhibited effects of various concentration of NaCl were inhibited quinone redox, however, proton gradient between thylakoid membranes was little damaged.

To investigate the effects of sulfite on the chloroplast development, etiolated barley seedlings were treated with 100 mM sulfite solution every 3 hour by spraying during 96 hours greening Period. The effects were determined by chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids contents, photosynthetic electron transport activity, chlorophyll fluorescence yield and fluorescence quenching parameters. The contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoids were decreased than that of control by treatment of salfite over 48 hours greening. PS II Is more sensitive to sulfite than PS I Is. And by the addition of DPC to the chloroplasts of the barley seedling treated with sulfite, the photoreduction of DCPIP was not recovered. In greening with suite treated barley leaves, Fo, Fv and Nlh ratio were decreased with little difference from that of control. But qP, qNP and qR were lowed in comparison with those of controls whereas qE was markedly higher than that of control. Especially, It is Interesting that qR was decreased markedly compared to that of control. The results in the change of PS I activity, Nf and qP suggest that the strate of Inhibition by suite Is carbon dioxide reduction cycle.

8일간 생장한 보리 유식물에 72시간 동안 dimethipin을 처리하면서 엽록소 함량의 변화와 광합성적 전자전달 활성을 측정하였다. 10/sup -3/M dimethipin을 72시간 처리한 경우 엽록소 함량이 33% 감소하였다. 이에 비해 7일간 암소에서 생장시킨 후 dimethipin을 처리한 보리 유식물은 녹화 48시간에 10/sup -4/M에서 대조구에 비해 43% 엽록소 함량이 감소하였으며, 엽록소 a/b 비율이 증가하였다. 24시간의 dimethipin처리는 PSⅡ+PSⅠ활성에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 10/sup -4/M dimethipin처리는 48시간 배양시 10% 그리고 72시간에는 25%의 PSⅡ+PSⅠ 활성을 억제하였다. Water splitting system을 제외한 PSⅡ+PSⅠ 활성은 10/sup -4/M dimethipin을 48시간 처리할 경우 16% 그리고 72시간에는 27% 억제되었다. 10/sup -4/M dimethipin을 24시간 처리할 경우 PSⅡ활성은 8%, 48시간에서는 13% 그리고 72시간에서는 18% 억제되었다. 10/sup -4/M dimethipin을 24시간 처리할 경우 PSⅠ활성은 4%, 48시간에서는 8% 그리고 72시간에서는 10% 억제되었다. 7일간 암소에서 자란 황백화된 보리 유식물을 녹화시간 6, 12, 24와 48시간에 dimethipin을 처리할 경우 PSⅡ+PSⅠ 활성은 5, 10, 10 그리고 11% 억제되었다. 반면에 water splitting system을 제외한 PSⅡ+PSⅠ 활성은 모든 처리시간에서 그 효과가 없었다. 또한 PSⅡ와 PSⅠ의 활성도 대조구와 큰 차이가 없었다. 이와 같이 dimethipin에 의해 야기된 광합성적 전자전달활성의 억제는 엽록체 합성과정에서의 영향보다는 엽록체의 기능에 영향을 주는 것으로 사료되며, 이러한 엽록체 기능의 감소는 dimethipin에 의해 야기되는 30∼40%의 엽록소 함량감소에 의한 것으로 사료된다.
