Περίληψη: Internodal cells of Characeae exposed to flickering spotted illumination mobilize long-range interchloroplast communications between the point of local light stress and non-treated cell areas. The signaling and functional coordination between immobile chloroplasts involves the export of excess products from light-stressed plastids, the lateral transport by the streaming cytoplasm, the entry of delivered substances to dimly lit recipient chloroplasts, and metabolic responses to the entered agents. There is indirect evidence that interchloroplast communications are mediated by two types of metabolites produced during photosynthetic electron transport: reducing agents such as NAD(P)H and the product of oxygen reduction H2O2 as the most stable ROS form. The involvement of these substances in intracellular signaling was tested in this study using local extracellular application of subnanomolar quantities of H2O2 and the cytoplasmic microinjection of NADH in combination with Microscopy-PAM chlorophyll fluorometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The pointed introduction of the above agents affected the actual and maximal chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence yields (F' and Fm') in chloroplasts exposed to dim background light but had no effect in darkened cells. The Chl fluorescence changes induced by NADH and H2O2 featured opposite polarities, indicating the plastoquinone reduction (via segments of cyclic electron-transport pathways) and the development of non-photochemical quenching, respectively. The ability of externally applied H2O2 to move with the cytoplasmic flow has been revealed; it confirms that H2O2 can act in plant cells as a transportable signaling substance. The results provide evidence for participation of reducing substances and the oxidizing agent H2O2 in interchloroplast communications.
