Friend or foe? Reactive oxygen species production, scavenging and signaling in plant response to environmental stresses.
TL;DR: Over the past two decades it has been proven that ROS together with non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ), hormones, Ca2+ waves, and electrical signals are the main players in SAA and SAR, two physiological processes essential for plant survival and productivity in unfavorable conditions.

PHOTOPROTECTION REVISITED: Genetic and Molecular Approaches
TL;DR: Several photoprotective mechanisms operating within chloroplasts of plants and green algae are summarized, especially with respect to thermal dissipation of excess absorbed light energy, alternative electron transport pathways, chloroplast antioxidant systems, and repair of photosystem II.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 8 shoot branching mutants of pea are strigolactone deficient and that strigOLactone application restores the wild-type branching phenotype to ccd8 mutants, and that other branching mutants previously characterized as lacking a response to the branching inhibition signal also lack striglactone response.

TL;DR: It is proposed that strigolactones act as a new hormone class—or their biosynthetic precursors—in regulating above-ground plant architecture, and also have a function in underground communication with other neighbouring organisms.

TL;DR: The first X-ray structure of LHC-II in icosahedral proteoliposome assembly at atomic detail is reported, finding the xanthophyll-cycle carotenoid at the monomer–monomer interface may be involved in the non-radiative dissipation of excessive energy, one of the photoprotective strategies that have evolved in plants.
