Oxygen reduction in chloroplasts in the light was discovered by (Mehler Arch Biochem Biophys 33:65-77, 1951) as production of hydrogen peroxide. Later, it was shown that the primary product of the oxygen reduction is superoxide radical produced in thylakoids by one-electron transfer from reduced components of photosynthetic electron transport chain to O

Inhibitory analysis is a useful tool for studying reactions in the photosynthetic apparatus. After introducing by Aachim Trebst in 1978, dinitrophenylether of iodonitrothymol (DNP-INT), a competitive inhibitor of plastoquinol oxidation at the cytochrome (cyt.) b
