Photoinhibition of photosynthesis was investigated in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) exposed to 2 or 4h of high irradiance (HI) (1 700-1 800 μmol m-2 s-1) 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 photosystem 2 (PS2), Fv/Fm, markedly declined, F0 increased in both 2 (HI2) and 4 h (HI4) HI leaves sampled at midday. When various photosynthetic activities were followed on isolated thylakoids, HI4 leaves showed significantly higher inhibition of whole chain and PS2 activity than the HI2 leaves sampled at midday. 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 variants of leaves, while DPC and NH2OH significantly restored PS2 activity in HI4 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 HI2 and HI4 leaves. The marked loss of PS2 activity noticed in midday samples was mainly due to the marked loss of D1 protein in HI2, while in HI4 it was mainly 33-kDa protein.
