Abstract excerpt
Biochemical and physiological acclimation to different light environments is crucial for plant growth and survival. In high light (HL), feedback de-excitation (qE) is a well-known photoprotective mechanism that dissipates excess excitation energy in the light-harvesting antenna of photosystem II (PSII) and relieves excitation pressure in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The xanthophylls zeaxanthin (Z)...
