Parameters extrapolated from the O-J-I-P transients during Klebsormidium sp. (SCHW) dehydration (± standard deviation) under low light (25 μmol photons m−2 s−1) and saturating light for photosynthesis (185 μmol photons m−2 s−1). The parameter Vj was calculated according to the equation of Strasser et al. (2000). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from the low light treatment.
OJIP parameters during dehydration | Low Light | Saturating Light | |
---|---|---|---|
Fo | Minimal fluorescence in dark | 0.22 (0.06) | 0.44 (0.06)* |
Fm | Maximal fluorescence in dark | 0.63 (0.14) | 0.76 (0.07) |
Fv/Fm | Maximum quantum yield | 0.66 (0.06) | 0.43 (0.03)* |
Vj | Fluorescence at the J-step | 0.48 (0.17) | 0.83 (0.07)* |
