Abstract
Local burning of a leaf induces a unique electrical signal in plants: variation potential (VP), which can cause numerous functional responses, including changes in photosynthesis. The influences of VP on damage to photosynthetic machinery and thermal resistance of whole plant with heating were investigated in pea (Pisum sativum L.). Under high external temperature (53°C), VP induction was found to cause accelerated initial lowering of photosynthetic parameters, reduced transpiration rate, decreased PSI damage, and increased PSII damage. Increased PSI resistance was in good accordance with our previous data, but VP-induced stimulation of PSII damage under heating required further analysis. The magnitudes of leaf heating in experiments and controls were found to be different (~46−48°C after VP and ~44−45°C without it) under identical external temperatures and were connected with different transpiration rates under these conditions. Also PSII damage and the magnitude of leaf heating were strongly correlated. As a result, it was supposed that leaf temperature contributed to VP-induced stimulation of PSII damage with heating. Investigation of VP’s influence on pea growth after heating showed that the electrical signal decreased plant growth suppression after heating (i.e. VP-induced increases in PSII damage did not noticeably influence thermal resistance in the whole plant).
