NdhO, a regulatory oxygenic photosynthesis-specific subunit, is close to the ferredoxin-binding site of cyanobacterial NDH-1, and its levels are negatively associated with the rates of cyclic electron transfer around PSI mediated by NDH-1 (NDH-CET). However, the effect of NdhO levels on cyanobacterial cell death triggered by high temperature remains elusive. Here, our results uncovered a synergistic effect of NdhO levels on the cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation when cyanobacterial cells grown at 30°C for 1 day were transferred to 45°C for 2 days. Such synergistic effect was found to be closely associated with the activities of NDH-CET and CO2 assimilation during high temperature. Collectively, we propose that the effect of NdhO levels on the cyanobacterial cell bleaching and cell death triggered by high temperature is a result of influencing production of ROS by NDH-CET, which is considered to be vital to balance the ATP/NADPH ratio and improve the Calvin-Benson cycle.

Chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like complex-mediated cyclic electron flow is the main electron transport route in C bundle sheath cells.

The superior productivity of C plants is achieved via a metabolic C cycle which acts as a CO pump across mesophyll and bundle sheath (BS) cells and requires an additional input of energy in the form of ATP. The importance of chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like complex (NDH) operating cyclic electron flow (CEF) around Photosystem I (PSI) for C photosynthesis has been shown in reverse genetics studies but the contribution of CEF and NDH to cell-level electron fluxes remained unknown. We have created gene-edited Setaria viridis with null ndhO alleles lacking functional NDH and developed methods for quantification of electron flow through NDH in BS and mesophyll cells.

Exposure of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to 4°C imprints a cold memory that modulates gene expression in response to a second (triggering) stress stimulus applied several days later. Comparison of plastid transcriptomes of cold-primed and control plants directly before they were exposed to the triggering stimulus showed downregulation of several subunits of chloroplast NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH) and regulatory subunits of ATP synthase. NDH is, like proton gradient 5 (PGR5)-PGR5-like1 (PGRL1), a thylakoid-embedded, ferredoxin-dependent plastoquinone reductase that protects photosystem I and stabilizes ATP synthesis by cyclic electron transport (CET).
