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:

Photosynthetic Responses of Tropical Forest Plants to Contrasting Light Environments
TL;DR: Chazdon et al. as mentioned in this paper found that light availability is a major component of the regeneration responses of forest species within the larger context of forest dynamics and succession, and photosynthetic utilization of light is therefore the resource most frequently limiting growth, survival, and reproduction.

The protective functions of carotenoid and flavonoid pigments against excess visible radiation at chilling temperature investigated in Arabidopsis npq and tt mutants.
Michel Havaux,Klaus Kloppstech +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of flavonoid-deficient tt mutants revealed that UV/blue-light-absorbing flavonols have a strong protective function against excess visible radiations and the xanthophyll cycle and the associated NPQ seem to be mainly relevant to the protection of photosynthesis against sudden increases in light intensity.

Light control of seedling development
Von Arnim A,Xing Wang Deng +1 more
TL;DR: A review of important recent advances in defining the roles of individual photoreceptors and the downstream regulators mediating light control of seedling development has been achieved in recent years, predominantly because of molecular genetic studies in Arabidopsis thaliana and other species.

Microbial ultraviolet sunscreens
Qunjie Gao,Ferran Garcia-Pichel +1 more
TL;DR: The current understanding of microbial 'sunscreen' compounds, including scytonemin, the mycosporines and the naphthalene-based melanins are described, which have led to the discovery of new classes of compounds, new metabolic pathways, a deeperUnderstanding of microbial photobiology and the potential for dermatological or biomedical applications.

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.
