โฆ Synopsis
A number of recent reports have concluded that Ca 2+ is not released by treatments which are usually thought to induce the depletion of Ca 2+. Consequently, it was proposed that the Ca 2+ demand was not related to a specific r61e for Ca 2รท in Photosystem-II oxygen evolution. In this letter, we scrutinize the data behind these conclusions and argue that, based on these data, it is premature to question the view that intrinsic Ca z+ is actually being released.

Flash-induced oxygen evolution and many related processes in thylakoids of oxygenic organisms are modulated with period four by the S-state transitions associated with the oxygen evolving system of Photosystem II (PS II). To analyze these phenomena, we have interpreted the S-state model on the basis
Treatment of Photosystem II (PS II) with low concentrations of hydroxylamine is known to cause a two-flash delay in the O2-evolution pattern, and in the formation of the S2-state multiline EPR signal, due to the two-electron reduction of the S1-state by hydroxylamine to form the S-1-state. Past work
