Abstract
Abstract Several substituted diphenylethers were found to be effective inhibitors of photosynthetic electron flow in isolated thylakoid membranes from spinach chloroplasts. T heir site of inhibition was localized with artificial acceptor and donor systems. The phenylether of an alkyl substituted nitrophenol is prim arely inhibiting electron flow after plastoquinone function whereas a dinitro-phenylether of a phenyl substituted nitrophenol is inhibiting before plastoquinone function. Therefore certain diphenylethers interfere with plastoquinone function at the oxidation or reduction site, depending on the substitution.
