When photosystem II (PSII) is exposed to excess light, singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) formed by the interaction of molecular oxygen with triplet chlorophyll. Triplet chlorophyll is formed by the charge recombination of triplet radical pair  3 [P680 •+ Pheo •− ] in the acceptor-side photoinhibition of PSII. Here, we provide evidence on the formation of  1 O 2  in the donor side photoinhibition of PSII. Light-induced  1 O 2  production in Tris-treated PSII membranes was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping spectroscopy, as monitored by TEMPONE EPR signal. Light-induced formation of carbon-centered radicals (R • ) was observed by POBN-R adduct EPR signal. Increased oxidation of organic molecules at high pH enhanced the formation of TEMPONE and POBN-R adduct EPR signals in Tris-treated PSII membranes. Interestingly, the scavenging of R •  by propyl gallate significantly suppressed  1 O 2 . Based on our results, it is concluded that  1 O 2  formation correlates with R •  formation on the donor side of PSII due to oxidation of organic molecules (lipids and proteins) by long-lived P680 •+ /TyrZ • . It is proposed here that the Russell mechanism for the recombination of two peroxyl radicals formed by the interaction of R •  with molecular oxygen is a plausible mechanism for  1 O 2  formation in the donor side photoinhibition of PSII.
