Abstract excerpt
Feedback deexcitation is a photosynthetic regulatory mechanism that can protect plants from high light stress by harmlessly dissipating excess absorbed light energy as heat. To understand the genetic basis for intraspecies differences in thermal dissipation capacity, we investigated natural variation in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). We determined the variation in the amount of thermal dissipation by...
