Photoinhibition of photosynthesis was investigated in Vitis berlandieri and Vitis rupestris leaves under field conditions at different sampling time in a day. The degree of photoinhibition was determined by means of the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) and photosynthetic electron transport measurements. When the photochemical efficiency of PS2, Fv/Fm, markedly declined, F0 increased significantly in leaves of V. berlandieri, while F0 did not increase in V. rupestris leaves. Isolated thylakoids of leaves of V. berlandieri showed significant inhibition of whole chain and PS2 activities at midday. A smaller inhibition was observed for V. rupestris. Later, the leaves reached maximum PS2 efficiencies similar to those observed early in the morning during sampling at evening. The artificial exogenous electron donor Mn2+ failed to restore PS2 activity in both species, while DPC and NH2OH significantly restored PS2 activity in V. rupestris midday leaf samples. Quantification of the PS2 reaction centre protein D1 and 33 kDa protein of water splitting complex following midday exposure of leaves showed pronounced differences between V. berlandieri and V. rupestris leaves. The marked loss of PS2 activity noticed in midday samples was mainly due to the marked loss of D1 protein in V. berlandieri while in V. rupestris it was the 33 kDa protein.
