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

Background With limited agricultural land and increasing human population, it is essential to
enhance overall photosynthesis and thus productivity. Oxygenic photosynthesis begins with …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence emitted by green plants reflects photosynthetic activities in a
complex manner. Recent improvements of fluorescence measuring techniques have made …

We have reviewed the current state of multidisciplinary knowledge of the photoprotective
mechanism in the photosystem II antenna underlying non-photochemical chlorophyll …

Photosynthetic organs such as green leaves are capable of operating a light-absorbing
pigment system over a wide range of changes in photon flux density (PFD) including high …

▪ Abstract When plants are exposed to light intensities in excess of those that can be utilized
in photosynthetic electron transport, nonphotochemical dissipation of excitation energy is …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Carotenoids have two important roles in photosynthetic organisms. First, they act as
accessory light‐harvesting pigments, effectively extending the range of light absorbed by the …

The emergence and evolution of life on our planet was possible because the sun provides
energy to our biosphere. Indeed, all life forms need energy for existence and proliferation in …

Non-photochemical chlorophyll fluorescence quenching (NPQ) remains one of the most
studied topics of the 21st century in photosynthesis research. Over the past 30 years …
