Journal ArticleDOI
Photoprotection and Other Responses of Plants to High Light Stress
TL;DR: The Xanthophyll cycle and thermal energy dissipation were investigated in this paper. But the results of these experiments were limited to the case of light-capturing systems, where active oxygen was not formed in the Photochemical Apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of xanthophyll cycle carotenoids in the protection of photosynthesis
TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the photophysics, biochemical regulation and ecophysiology of this essential photoprotective process are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using chlorophyll fluorescence to assess the fraction of absorbed light allocated to thermal dissipation of excess excitation
Barbara Demmig-Adams,William W. Adams,D. H. Barker,Barry A. Logan,David R. Bowling,Amy S. Verhoeven +5 more
TL;DR: Genty et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the possibility of assessing the allocation of photons absorbed by photosystem II (PSII) antennae to thermal energy dissipation and photosynthetic electron transport in leaves of several plant species under field conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoprotection in an ecological context: the remarkable complexity of thermal energy dissipation.
TL;DR: Zeaxanthin-facilitated, flexible thermal dissipation associated with the PsbS protein and controlled by the trans-thylakoid pH gradient apparently occurs ubiquitously in plants, and can become sustained (and thus less flexible) at low temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidants in photosynthesis and human nutrition.
TL;DR: The pathways that synthesize these compounds are becoming amenable to genetic manipulation, which may yield benefits as widespread as improved plant stress tolerance and improved human physical and mental health.
