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:

Photoinhibition, xanthophyll cycle and in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence quenching of chilling-tolerant Oxyria digyna and chilling-sensitive Zea mays
TL;DR: The relationship between susceptibility to photoinhibition, zeaxanthin formation and chlorophyll fluorescence quenching at suboptimal temperatures was studied in chilling-sensitive maize and in non-acclimated and cold-acClimated Oxyria digyna, a chilling-tolerant plant of arctic and alpline habitats.

Cultivar specificity of tropical mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) to elevated ultraviolet-B: Changes in antioxidative defense system, nitrogen metabolism and accumulation of jasmonic and salicylic acids
TL;DR: Stimulation in antioxidative defense system of plant was not effective under elevated UV-B to completely detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS) and it was cultivar specific, while higher induction of jasmonic acid in HUM 12 in addition to other defense strategies made it more resistant against applied stress with respect to growth and yield responses.

TL;DR: Improved understanding of strategies remains central for the understanding of algal distributions in nature and has broad industrial implications.

Occurrence and operation of the lutein epoxide cycle in Quercus species.
TL;DR: It is shown that lutein epoxide content is higher in shade leaves, especially during summer, and the operation of this cycle could also contribute to photoprotection mechanisms of evergreen Quercus species during winter.

Ecophysiological responses of Fagus sylvatica seedlings to changing light conditions. I. Interactions between photosynthetic acclimation and photoinhibition during simulated canopy gap formation
TL;DR: Small forest gaps (in which sunflecks play a major role) may present a favorable environment for survival and growth of beech because of their limited ability to acclimate to a sudden increase in irradiance and because of the moderate levels of light stress found in small gaps.

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.
