The following thermal properties of the photosynthetic apparatus of the observed maize inbred lines: the temperature dependence within a range of 25-60 deg C, critical temperatures at which phase transitions occur in the thylakoid membrane were discovered and by means of it significant functional changes in the photosynthetic apparatus of observed maize inbred lines were detected. Activation energies (Ea kJ/mol) alongside the straight lines prior and after critical temperatures were calculated. Ea are a measure of occurrence of chlorophyll DF recombination processes and by that a measure of the total changes in structure and functioning of the thylakoid membranes. Thylakoid membranes underwent significant conformational changes in the part following the maximum intensity, i.e. in the part of its sharp linear decline. Such a state fits more to a non-living than a living organism in relation to its both, structure and functions. Results and the discussion of presented parameters of total thermal processes of chlorophyll DF, such as: temperature dependence, critical temperatures and activation energy, can be an important factor for a more exact characterization of maize inbred lines in relation to their resistance and adaptation to temperature and drought, contributing to a rapider and more rational development of the selection process.
