Abstract

It has been shown that seed priming with 5-aminolevulinic acid significantly affects the adaptation mechanisms of the photosynthetic apparatus of leaves of barley plants of the Avans variety under the influence of soil drought. Pre-treatment of seeds with 5-aminolevulinic acid under stress conditions reduces the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in leaves and has a stabilising effect on the pigment apparatus, maintaining a high β-carotene content. Priming of seeds with 5-aminolevulinic acid leads to an increase in the content of the protein Lhca2 of the light-harvesting complex of photosystem I against the background of the absence of a significant effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid on the content of photosystem II proteins both under drought conditions and under normal watering, which can contribute to the redistribution of the energy of absorbed light quanta in benefits photosystem I and is an effective protective mechanism that reduces photodamage to photosystem II under oxidative stress. Seed priming with 5-aminolevulinic acid stabilises the photochemical activity of barley leaf photosystems under drought conditions, while reducing the suppression of the regulated component of non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence as an important protective mechanism under stress.
