The hypothesis that chlorophyll a fluorescence is under electrochemical control has been validated in a very interesting paper pubblished in March on Journal of Experimental Botany:
A detailed analysis of chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics and gas exchange measurements in response to generation of action potentials in irritated Dionea muscipula traps was used to determine the ‘site effect’ of the electrical signal-induced inhibition of photosynthesis.
The paper is of primary importance, linking for the first time a physiological regulation process with electrical activity in plants.
