It has long been recognized that higher plants vary the composition and organization of the
photosynthetic apparatus in response to the prevailing environmental conditions, with …

Higher plants must dissipate absorbed light energy that exceeds the photosynthetic capacity
to avoid molecular damage to the pigments and proteins that comprise the photosynthetic …

We analyzed antioxidative defenses, photosynthesis, and pigments (especially xanthophyll-
cycle components) in two wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cultivars, Adamello and Ofanto …

Quercus ilex (L.) leaves emit monoterpenes, particularly α-pinene, β-pinene and sabinene.
Apart from the monoterpene pools that are stored in specialized structures and have a clear …

A survey was conducted of the magnitude of energy dissipation in photosystem II (expressed
as nonphotochemi-cal quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence, NPQ) as well as leaf …

Efficient acclimation to different growth light intensities is essential for plant fitness. So far,
most studies on light acclimation have been conducted with plants grown under different …

Daily changes in photoprotective mechanisms were studied in sun leaves of Quercus suber
L., Quercus ilex L., Olea europaea L. and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. trees during the …

Background Plants exhibit phenotypic plasticity and respond to differences in environmental
conditions by acclimation. We have systematically compared leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana …

Background and Aims Depending on cultivar, surfaces of young leaves of Vitis vinifera may
be glabrous-green ('Soultanina') or transiently have anthocyanins ('Siriki') or pubescence …

Plants respond to growth under different environmental conditions by adjusting the
composition of the photosynthetic apparatus. To investigate the consequences of the …
