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.

Adaptation, Acclimation and Regulation in Algal Photosynthesis

TL;DR: Much remains to be done to not only understand adaptation, acclimation and regulation in algae, but also to understand how the three processes interact.

Different Roles of α- and β-Branch Xanthophylls in Photosystem Assembly and Photoprotection

TL;DR: In depth analysis of the mutant phenotypes suggests that α-br branch (lutein) and β-branch (zeaxanthin, violaxanth in, and neoxanthin) xanthophylls have distinct and complementary roles in antenna protein assembly and in the mechanisms of photoprotection.

Development and physiology of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus: two centuries of research.

TL;DR: This review looks back over two centuries of work on this brown alga and highlights the advances that have led to the choice of E. siliculosus as a genomic and genetic model organism for the brown algae.

Insights into the consequences of grana stacking of thylakoid membranes in vascular plants: a personal perspective

TL;DR: This overview deals with changing concepts regarding the distribution of the photosystems between stacked and unstacked thylakoid domains from a personal historical perspective and some functional implications of the lateral separation of most PSII complexes in appressed membrane regions of grana stacks from PSI complexes, ATP synthase and auxiliary proteins located in non-appressed membrane domains.

The xanthophyll cycle affects reversible interactions between PsbS and light-harvesting complex II to control non-photochemical quenching.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PsbS acts as a ‘seeding’ centre for the LHCII antenna rearrangement that is involved in NPQ, which is crucial to prevent photo-oxidative damage to photosystem II (PSII) and is controlled by the transmembrane pH differences.

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.
