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:

Action Spectrum of Photoinhibition in Leaves of Wild Type and npq1-2 and npq4-1 Mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: Comparison of the action spectrum of photoinhibition with the emission spectrum of sunlight shows that the UV part of sunlight is responsible for the major part of photo inhibition under natural conditions.

Dynamics of Chromophore Binding to Lhc Proteins in Vivo and in Vitro during Operation of the Xanthophyll Cycle
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the xanthophyll cycle participates in a signal transduction system acting in the modulation of light harvestingversus thermal dissipation in the antenna system of higher plants.

Cloning and functional expression in Escherichia coli of a cyanobacterial gene for lycopene cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of β-carotene
Francis X. Cunningham,Francis X. Cunningham,Daniel A. Chamovitz,Norihiko Misawa,Elisabeth Gantt,Joseph Hirschberg +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that a single gene product, designated lcy, catalyzes both of the cyclization reactions that are required to produceβ‐carotene from lycopene, and prove that this enzyme is a target site of the herbicide MPTA.
Photosynthesis and high light stress
TL;DR: In soybean leaves a photoinhibition of the chloroplasts, as measured at the adaxial light exposed upper leaf side, did not affect the photosynthetic CO 2 assimilation rates of the whole leaf, so chlorophyll fluorescence measurements, usually carried out with low irradiance light, taken at the upper leaf-side alone are not representative for the physiological situation of the entire leaf.

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.
