We review the mechanism underlying nonphotochemical chlorophyll fluorescence
quenching (NPQ) and its role in protecting plants against photoinhibition. This review …

Regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting in the thylakoids is one of the major key factors
affecting the efficiency of photosynthesis. Thylakoid membrane is negatively charged and …

A novel emerging technology for the assessment of the photoprotective 'power'of non-
photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ) has been reviewed and its insightful …

PAM fluorescence of leaves of cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus L.) was measured
simultaneously in the spectral range below 700 nm (sw) and above 700 nm (lw). A high …

Photosynthetic organisms have evolved an essential energy-dependent quenching (qE)
mechanism to avoid any lethal damages caused by high light. While the triggering …

Plants with varying levels of PsbS protein were grown on lincomycin. Enhanced levels of
non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ) in over-expressers of the protein have …

Chlorophyll (Chl)-deficient plants can potentially increase global surface albedo of mono-
cropping systems, and simultaneously maintain a similar photosynthetic efficiency by …

Characterizing photosynthetic productivity is necessary to understand the ecological
contributions and biotechnology potential of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Light capture …

Adaptation and functional significance of chlorophyll deficit in the light green leaf sectors of
variegated plants are little known. Efficiency of photosystem II for dark and light adapted …

Low light (LL) and high light (HL)-acclimated plants of A. thaliana were exposed to blue (BB)
or red (RR) light or to a mixture of blue and red light (BR) of incrementally increasing …
