Effect of Different Sugars on Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Photoautotrophic Tomato Suspension Cell Cultures

A.K. Sinha, T. Roitsch

The effects of metabolisable sugars sucrose and glucose along with non-metabolisable isomers of sucrose palatinose and turanose were tested. Rate of oxygen evolution (P), electron transport rate (ETR), and photochemical quenching (qp) showed substantial decrease after 24 and 48 h by glucose and sucrose treatments, whereas there was no effect on all these parameters by the treatment with palatinose and turanose. Also the Fv/Fm ratio remained constant through the time of studies revealing that the maximal photochemical capacity of the cells was unchanged. Non-photochemical quenching (qN) showed a decrease compared to the control values by all the treatments. Hence P and Chl fluorescence parameter were affected only by those sugars which are used in the metabolic pathways and not by sugar analogues.

Additional key words: electron transport rate; glucose; Lycopersicon peruvianum; oxygen evolution; palatinose; saccharose; turanose
