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.

Contributions of diffusional limitation, photoinhibition and photorespiration to midday depression of photosynthesis in Arisaema heterophyllum in natural high light

TL;DR: The increased Rubisco content in sun leaves, which has been recognized as raising photosynthetic assimilation capacity, also contributes to increase in the capacity for photorespiration.

Photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, inorganic ion and organic acid accumulations of sunflower in responses to salt and salt-alkaline mixed stress.

TL;DR: Sunflowers were treated with mixing proportions of NaCl, Na2SO4, NaHCO3, and Na2CO3. as discussed by the authors showed that the growth of sunflower decreased with increasing salinity.

Morpho‐anatomical, physiological and biochemical adjustments in response to root zone salinity stress and high solar radiation in two Mediterranean evergreen shrubs, Myrtus communis and Pistacia lentiscus

TL;DR: Salt- and light-induced changes in morpho-anatomical, physiological and biochemical traits were analysed in Myrtus communis and Pistacia lentiscus to explain their ecological distribution in the Mediterranean basin, and suggest a key antioxidant function of flavonoids in response to different stressful conditions.

Adenine nucleotides and the xanthophyll cycle in leaves

TL;DR: Coupled electron transport during inhibited CO2 fixation was not driven by a dithiothreitol-sensitive Mehler ascorbate-peroxidase reaction, which implies that, in nature, photophosphorylation may provide energy needed for ion-pumping and biosynthetic and repair processes, even under stress conditions that severely restrict or prevent photosynthetic gas exchange.

Factors Associated with Depression of Photosynthetic Quantum Efficiency in Maize at Low Growth Temperature

TL;DR: It is indicated that zeaxanthin-related quenching of absorbed excitation energy at PSII is, quantitatively, the most important factor determining the depressed photosynthetic efficiency in 14[deg]C-grown plants.

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.
