Abstract In order to study the relationship between Mg++-induced fluorescence and membrane stacking, trypsin was used as a probe. Trypsin treatment diminished to a high degree the light-induced variable fluorescence and membrane stacking. Mg++ markedly increased the fluorescence yield near 680 nm and membrane stacking. Pretreatment of chloroplasts with Mg++ eliminates the effect of trypsin on cation-induced fluorescence change but not on the membrane stacking. The results presented in this contribution support the evidence that the cation-induced membrane stacking and the fluorescence yield are not linked
