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.

Scaling sun and shade photosynthetic acclimation of Alocasia macrorrhiza to whole‐plant performance – II. Simulation of carbon balance and growth at different photon flux densities

TL;DR: Overall, RGR was most sensitive to LAR and showed relatively little sensitivity to variation in Amax or maintenance respiration, and was relatively insensitive to increases in leaf life-span beyond those observed.

Integrated physiologic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses of Malus halliana adaptation to saline–alkali stress

TL;DR: This study provides an important starting point for improving saline–alkali tolerance in M. halliana via genetic engineering by analyzing the plant pathways involved in the stress response of the plant and its regulatory mechanisms.

Shedding some light on cold acclimation, cold adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity

TL;DR: Research is summarized illustrating that photoautrophs as diverse as cyanobacteria, green algae, crop plants, and conifers tailor the structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus to changes in temperature and irradiance to maintain cellular energy balance called photostasis.

Role of the Reversible Xanthophyll Cycle in the Photosystem II Damage and Repair Cycle in Dunaliella salina

TL;DR: A role for Z is suggested in the protection of photodamaged and disassembled PSII reaction centers, apparently needed while PSII is in the process of degradation and replacement of the D1/32-kD reaction center protein.

De-epoxidation of Violaxanthin after Reconstitution into Different Carotenoid Binding Sites of Light-harvesting Complex II

TL;DR: The in vitro de-epoxidation reaction was investigated in an in vitro system using reconstituted light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) and a thylakoid raw extract enriched in the enzyme Vx de-Epoxidase, indicating that LHCII and VxDe-ep oxidase stayed in close contact during the de-EPoxidation reactions and that no release of carotenoids occurred.

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.
