Features of chlorophyll fluorescence transients can be used to investigate low temperature
induced effects on photosystem II of Page 1 CZECH POLAR REPORTS 5 (1): 99-111, 2015 …

Chlorophyll fluorescence is an effective tool for investigating characteristics of any
photosynthesizing organisms and its responses due to different stressors. Here, we have …

In this study, we investigated the effects of low temperature on the fast chlorophyll
fluorescence transient (OJIP) and OJIP-derived parameters in chlorolichen Dermatocarpon …

This study explores and compares the limits for photosynthesis in subzero temperatures of
six Antarctic lichens: Sphaerophorus globosus, Caloplaca regalis, Umbilicaria antarctica …

Lichens survive harsh weather of Antarctica as well as of other hostile environments
worldwide. Therefore, this investigation is important to understand the evolution of life on …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms that are well adapted to desiccation/rehydration cycles.
Over the last decades, the physiological background of their photosynthetic response …

Antarctic lichens have been used as indicators of climate change for decades, but only a few
species have been studied. We assessed the photosynthetic performance of the fruticose …

Chlorophyll fluorescence is an important indicator of a photosynthetic energy conversion in
chloroplast photosystem II and responds sensitively to stress factors affecting …

Temperature response curves of chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters were used to
assess minimum sub-zero temperature assuring functioning of photosynthetic …

In this study, we evaluated the effect of temperature on the fast chlorophyll fluorescence
