Effect of Lipids on Violaxanthin and Diadinoxanthin De-Epoxidation
Violaxanthin (Vx) and diadinoxanthin (Ddx) de-epoxidation are light dependent steps in one of the most important photoprotecting processes called respectively violaxanthin and diadinoxanthin cycle. Violaxanthi...

Evidence for a Fast, Xanthophyll Cycle Independent NPQ Mechanism in the Diatom C. meneghiniana
for the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum it was reported that non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) strictly depends on the de-epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle (XC) pigment pool. In our present study we sho...
