Green plants undertake photosynthesis. It provides us with most of our living energy and most of our raw materials. All the living organisms on the earth, plants, animals and bacteria, depend on the energy in the sunlight. Because of its importance, the research in photosynthesis has long history, and almost all the structural proteins involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain have been identified and their genes sequenced by now. Although we have really good static image of photosynthetic apparatus, we do not know much about the dynamic aspects of photosynthesis in ever changing environments. For example, decrease of the photosynthetic activity is observed after exposure of leaves to chilling temperatures. Chilling-induced damage to photosynthesis has three characteristics : existence of threshold temperature, irreversibility, and development of visible symptoms after worming up. Although the cause of these characteristics was enigma for more than 20 years, we found that these characteristics could be explained by the photoinhibition of Photosystem I. Furthermore, we isolated several mutants that showed no specific phenotype under usual growth condition, but peculiar fluorescence kinetics after chilling treatment. The characterization of these mutants must be very useful to understand the molecular mechanisms underlining the temperature response of plants.

绿色植物进行光合作用。它为我们提供了大部分的活力和大多数原材料。地球上的所有生物，植物，动物和细菌都取决于阳光中的能量。由于其重要性，光合作用的研究具有悠久的历史，并且已经确定了光合电子传输链中涉及的几乎所有涉及的结构蛋白，并且现在已经对其基因进行了测序。尽管我们对光合作用设备的静态图像非常好，但我们对不断变化的环境中光合作用的动态方面并不了解。例如，在叶子暴露于寒冷温度后，观察到光合作用的降低。寒冷引起的光合作用损害具有三个特征：阈值温度的存在，不可逆性和扭曲后的可见症状发育。尽管这些特征的原因是20年以上的谜团，但我们发现这些特征可以通过光系统的光抑制来解释I.此外，我们分离了几个突变体，这些突变体在通常的生长条件下没有表现出特定的表型，但是在冷却治疗后奇特的荧光动力学。这些突变体的表征必须非常有用，以了解强调植物温度反应的分子机制。
