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

The photophysical and photochemical reactions, after light absorption by a photosynthetic
pigment–protein complex, are among the fastest events in biology, taking place on …

The major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC-II) serves as the principal solar
energy collector in the photosynthesis of green plants and presumably also functions in …

This review places photoprotection into the context of ecology and species diversity. The
focus is on photoprotection via the safe removal–as thermal energy–of excess solar energy …

Carotenoids are, along with chlorophylls, the most abundant pigments found in nature. They
are present in most organisms including humans but can be synthesized only by plants and …

Under conditions of excess sunlight the efficient light-harvesting antenna found in the
chloroplast membranes of plants is rapidly and reversibly switched into a photoprotected …

Photosynthetic light harvesting in excess light is regulated by a process known as feedback
deexcitation. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements on thylakoid membranes …

The biochemical, biophysical, and physiological properties of the PsbS protein were studied
in relation to mutations of two symmetry-related, lumen-exposed glutamate residues, Glu …

Light-emitting diode (LED) lights have recently been applied in controlled environment
agriculture toward growing vegetables of various assortments, including microgreens …

The photosystem II (PSII) light-harvesting system carries out two essential functions, the
efficient collection of light energy for photosynthesis, and the regulated dissipation of …
