Photoprotection of photosystem II (PSII) is essential to avoid the light-induced damage of the photosynthetic apparatus due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (= photo-oxidative …
Figures showing species and properties relevant to non-photochemical quenching studies.(a) Filamentous planktonic cyanobacteria Dolichospermum crassum and D. flos …

In their natural environment plants and algae are exposed to rapidly changing light conditions and light intensities. Illumination with high light intensities has the potential to …
E Erickson, S Wakao, KK Niyogi - The Plant Journal, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Plants and algae require light for photosynthesis, but absorption of too much light can lead to photo‐oxidative damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and sustained decreases in the …
KK Niyogi, TB Truong - Current opinion in plant biology, 2013 - Elsevier
All photosynthetic organisms need to regulate light harvesting for photoprotection. Three types of flexible non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms have been characterized …

Embryophytes (land plants) can be found in almost any habitat on the Earth's surface. All of this ecologically diverse embryophytic flora arose from algae through a singular evolutionary …
Light is of course essential for photosynthesis and supports most life on earth. However, light intensity and spectral quality are highly variable in space and time according to time of day …
Unicellular marine algae have promise for providing sustainable and scalable biofuel feedstocks, although no single species has emerged as a preferred organism. Moreover …
