Which of the following inhibits O2 release in light phase?

  • Zeatin

  • PMA

  • DCMU

  • None of these


C.

DCMU

DCMU is a very specific and sensitive inhibitor of photosynthesis (photosynthetic inhibitors). It blocks the plastoquinone binding site of photosystem II, disallowing the electron flow from photosystem II to plastoquinone. Thus, it inhibits Hill reaction, by inhibiting release of O2.
