TLDR
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.Abstract:

Functional in situ evaluation of photosynthesis-protecting carotenoids in mutants of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of carotenoids on photosynthetic electron transport was analyzed in Synechocystis PCC6803 mutants with and without zeaxanthin, echinenone and β-carotene.

Stomata from npq1, a zeaxanthin-less Arabidopsis mutant, lack a specific response to blue light.
TL;DR: The lack of a specific blue light response in the zeaxanthinless npq1 mutant provides genetic evidence for the role of zeax anthin as a blue light photoreceptor in guard cells.

On the response of pigments and antioxidants of Pinus halepensis seedlings to Mediterranean climatic factors and long-term ozone exposure
TL;DR: Observations indicate that Aleppo pine is a species sensitive to ozone, with reductions in stomatal conductance and net photosynthesis recorded in the same experiment, indicating alterations in plant antioxidative systems and plant pigments.

The role of ΔpH-dependent dissipation of excitation energy in protecting photosystem II against light-induced damage in Arabidopsis thaliana
Thomas Grasses,Paolo Pesaresi,Fabio Schiavon,Claudio Varotto,Francesco Salamini,Peter Jahns,Dario Leister +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that energy dissipation in PSII related to qE is not primarily required for the protection of PSII against light-induced destruction, but may rather be involved in reducing the electron pressure on the photosynthetic electron transport chain at saturating light intensities.

Effects of water stress and high temperature on gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in Triticum aestivum L.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of these two stresses on net photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), quantum efficiency of photosystem 2 (PS2), variable to maximum chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence (Fv/Fm), photochemical (qp) and non-photochemical (NPQ) Chl fluorescence, and yield were investigated.

The relationship between the quantum yield of photosynthetic electron transport and quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence
TL;DR: In this article, the quantum yield of non-cyclic electron transport was found to be directly proportional to the product of the photochemical fluorescence quenching (qQ) and the efficiency of excitation capture by open Photosystem II (PS II) reaction centres (Fv/Fm).

Photon yield of O2 evolution and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics at 77 K among vascular plants of diverse origins.
Olle Björkman,Barbara Demmig +1 more
TL;DR: Determinations of the photon yield of O2 evolution and the Fv/FM, 692 ratio can serve as excellent quantitative measures of photoinhibition of overall photosynthetic energy-conversion system and of photochemistry of photosystem II, respectively.

Plant Responses to Multiple Environmental FactorsPhysiological ecology provides tools for studying how interacting environmental resources control plant growth
TL;DR: Plant growth in diverse environments requires a similar balance of resources-energy, water, and mineral nutrients-to maintain optimal growth, but these resources differ by at least two orders of magnitude in the availability.

Comparison of the effect of excessive light on chlorophyll fluorescence (77K) and photon yield of O2 evolution in leaves of higher plants.
Barbara Demmig,Olle Björkman +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that high-light treatments can have at least two different, concurrent effects on 77K fluorescence in leaves, one results from damage to the photosystem II (PSII) reaction-center complex and leads to a rise in FO, 692; the other results from an increased non-radiative energy dissipation in the pigment bed.
Photoinhibition and zeaxanthin formation in intact leaves. A possible role of the xanthophyll cycle in the dissipation of excess light energy. [Populus balsamifera; Hedera; helix; Monstrosa deliciosa]
TL;DR: Comparative studies of chlorophyll a fluorescence and of the pigment composition of leaves suggest a specific role of zeaxanthin, a carotenoid formed in the xanthophyll cycle, in protecting the photosynthetic apparatus against the adverse effects of excessive light.
