On the Respective Roles of the Various Xanthophylls During Seedling Development and High Light Stress in Arabidopsis
Six hundred different naturally occurring carotenoids have been identified to date and this diversity is reflected in the composition of the photosynthetic apparatus of different bacterial and algal classes. H...

Chapter
Xanthophylls and Excess-Energy Dissipation: A Genetic Dissection in Arabidopsis
Thermal dissipation of excess absorbed light energy is considered to play a key role in regulating light harvesting and electron transport, and to prevent photodamage to the photosynthetic apparatus (1, 2, 3)....

Chapter
Non-photochemical quenching in four unicellular algae with different light-harvesting and xanthophyll-cycle pigments
Photosynthetic organisms have developed pathways to safely dissipate excessive energy as heat. In eukaryotic cells the major pathway of energy dissipation requires acidification of the thylakoid lumen and is t...

Chapter
High-Irradiance Stress in Higher Plants and Interaction with other Stress Factors
Exposure of leaves to light levels in excess of what can be utilized in photosynthesis often results in a decline in photosynthetic activity (1). This high-light effect is especially evident after return of th...

Chapter
Model of Leaf Photosynthesis and Respiration
The flow of chemical energy into ecosystems is due to net photosynthesis. This flow depends on interactions between photosynthetic and respiratory processes and the constraints set by leaf anatomy and morpholo...
