Sinapis alba was grown under two extremely different light intensities. We obtained two different modifications which hold several physiological and biochemical characteristics comparable to the relations in light- and shade plants. In the strong light the maximum rate of CO2-uptake increases within five days to a three-fold rate. At the same time the content of several redox systems of photosynthetic electron transport increases while the content of P 700 remains equivalent in both types of plants. In the high-light plants we find a ratio P 700: Cytochrome f of 1 but a ratio of 3 in the low-light plants. These ratios could be probably essential features of various sun- and rainforest species. The present results cannot indicate the specific role of P 700 in photosynthetic electron transport especially in the low-light plants.
