TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made of changes in spillover of excitation energy from Photosystem II to PS I associated with the State 1-State 2 transition in intact pea and barley leaves and in isolated envelope-free chloroplasts treated with ATP.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that changes in the lateral interaction of membrane pigment-protein complexes underlie the salt induced chlorophyll fluorescence increase and thylakoid stacking is argued, which suggests that the pH induced stacking occurs because of electrostatic neutralization, a mechanism which would not be expected to induce domain formation and associated chlorophyLL fluorescence changes.

TL;DR: It is argued that a reduction in surface charge density alone by lateral diffusion is probably insufficient to realize membrane stacking and that an increase in the van der Waals attractive force is necessary to account for the experimental observations perhaps through the formation of protein rich domains.

TL;DR: It is argued that the 9-aminoacridine technique is able to probe localized areas on the membrane surface and that the variability of the surface charge density of untreated thylakoids may be due to redistribution of charges associated with membrane stacking as suggested by Barber and Chow.

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics of chlorophyll fluorescence rise induced by adding 20 mM MgCl2 to a suspension of isolated pea chloroplasts treated with 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU) have been examined experimentally and theoretically as a function of temperature.
