Abstract:
Thermoluminesence measurements are useful for the study of Photosystem II electron transport in intact leaves, in algal and cyanobacterial cells, as well as in isolated membrane complexes. Here an overview of the experimental approaches is provided. In the present review, instruments and the experimental procedures for measuring thermoluminescence emission from photosynthetic systems of various origins are summarized and discussed. Major pitfalls frequently encountered in measurements with isolated membranes, suspensions of intact organisms or solid leaf samples are highlighted. Analytical and numeric methods for the analysis of measured thermoluminescence curves are also discussed.
