Abstract: It is shown that dinoseb, added to subchloroplast photosystem (PS-II) preparations from pea at a concentration higher than 5 μM, along with blocking the electron transfer on the acceptor side of PS-II , induces the following effects revealing its capability to have redox interaction with the components of PS-II reaction center (RC)- pheophytin (pheo) and chlorophyll P680 : ( I) acceleration of the dark relaxation of absorbance ( ΔA ) and chlorophyll fluorescence (ΔF ) changes related to photoreduction of Pheo as a result of the photoreaction  [P680 Pheo]  [P680 Pheo] that leads to elimination of the ΔA and ΔF at a concentration of the inhibitor higher than 50 μM; (2) lowering of the maximum level of fluorescence (F) due to a decrease of ΔF under the condition when the electron  acceptor, QA  is reduced; (3) loss of the described effects of dinoseb and appearance of its capability to donate electron to RC of PS-II in the presence of dithionite which reduces dinoseb in the dark ; (4) inhibition of ΔA related to photooxidation of P680; (5) activation of ΔA related to photooxidation P700 in photosystem-I (PS-I) preparations (a similar effect is observed upon the addition of 0.2 mM methylviologen ). It is suggested thaat redox interaction with the pair [P680 +Pheo-]  leading to the  shortening of its life- time contributes to the general effect of inhibition of electron transfer in PS-II by dinoseb.
