Abstract excerpt
We used Arabidopsis thaliana mutants to examine how a photosynthetic regulatory process, the qE-type or DeltapH-dependent nonphotochemical quenching, hereafter named feedback de-excitation, influences plant fitness in different light environments. We show that the feedback de-excitation is important for plant fitness in the field and in fluctuating light in a controlled environment but that it does not affect...
