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

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

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 …

The light reactions of photosynthesis in green plants are mediated by four large protein
complexes, embedded in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. Photosystem I (PSI) …

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 …

The plant light‐harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC‐II) collects and transmits solar
energy for photosynthesis in chloroplast membranes and has essential roles in regulation of …

Figures showing species and properties relevant to non-photochemical quenching
studies.(a) Filamentous planktonic cyanobacteria Dolichospermum crassum and D. flos …

In order to maximize their use of light energy in photosynthesis, plants have molecules that
act as light-harvesting antennae, which collect light quanta and deliver them to the reaction …

Chlorophyll degradation is an aspect of leaf senescence, which is an active process to
salvage nutrients from old tissues. non-yellow coloring1 (nyc1) is a rice (Oryza sativa) stay …
