Abstract excerpt
Upon the transition of dark-adapted plants to low light, the energy-dependent quenching (qE) of excitation energy is only transiently induced due to the only transient generation of the transthylakoid pH gradient. We investigated the transient qE (qE(TR)) in different Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants. In dark-adapted plants, qE(TR) was absent in the npq4 mutant (deficient in the PsbS protein) and the...
