Abstract —Transient decay kinetics of Signal I in spinach subchloroplast particles have been studied in the presence of artificial donors [5‐methyl phenazonium methyl sulfate (PMS), 2, 6‐dichlorophenolindophenol (DPIP), N, N, N', N'‐tetramethyl‐ p ‐phenylenediamine (TMPD) and ascorbate], artificial acceptors [benzyl viologen (BV) and methyl viologen (MV)] and various natural donor and acceptor moieties, using the technique of flash photolysis‐electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The results are discussed in the framework of three mechanisms for reduction of P700 + : (1) direct electron return from the primary acceptor to P700 + , (2) cyclic electron flow via an electron carrier, and (3) noncvclic electron flow.
