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.

Low temperature impact on photosynthetic parameters of coffee genotypes

TL;DR: Catucai IPR 102 cultivar showed better ability to cope with cold stress than the Conilon clones, especially Conilon 02, and had full recovery of leaf gas exchange, fluorescence parameters, enzymatic activity, and higher contents of the photoprotective pigments zeaxanthin and lutein.

High-light effects on CO2 fixation gradients across leaves

TL;DR: The interaction between leaf anatomy and biochemical parameters involved in tolerance to photoinhibition in spinach is discussed and gradients of CO 2 fixation across leaves were determined.

Diurnal and acclimatory responses of violaxanthin and lutein epoxide in the Australian mistletoe Amyema miquelii

TL;DR: It is clear that the pools of violaxanthin and lutein epoxide respond in parallel to both diurnal light changes and sun-shade acclimation, although there seemed to be some differences in the recovery characteristics.

Photosynthesis and activity of photosystem II in response to drought stress in Amur Grape (Vitis amurensis Rupr.)

TL;DR: There are cultivar differences in the response of PSII activity to drought, the photosynthetic apparatus of ‘ZuoShanyi’ cultivar is more resistant to drought than that of ’ShuangFeng’, and JIP-test could be a useful indicator for evaluation and selection to drought tolerance.

Protection against photoinhibition in the alpine plant Geum montanum.

TL;DR: Results of a study showing that leaves of G. montanum were remarkably tolerant to sunlight even at low temperatures showed efficient control of electron transport presumably at the level of the cytochrome b/f complex and suggests formation of a protective transthylakoid proton gradient even when linear electron transport is much reduced in the cold.

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.

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.

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.
