Plants are subjected to a plethora of environmental cues that cause extreme losses to crop
productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in …

A number of recent studies have provided strong support demonstrating that improving the
photosynthetic processes through genetic engineering can provide an avenue to improve …

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

Photosynthetic organisms are crucial for life on Earth as they provide food and oxygen and
are at the basis of most energy resources. They have a large variety of light-harvesting …

In natural ecosystems, plants compete for space, nutrients and light. The optically dense
canopies limit the penetration of photosynthetically active radiation and light often becomes …

Photoprotection refers to a set of well defined plant processes that help to prevent the
deleterious effects of high and excess light on plant cells, especially within the chloroplast …

The acclimation of plants to light has been studied extensively, yet little is known about the
effect of dynamic fluctuations in light on plant phenotype and acclimatory responses. We …

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 …

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 …

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 …
