Abstract excerpt
PREMISE: The importance of chloroplast movement for plant growth in constant, controlled light and of nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) in variable, natural light are known. Here we concurrently investigated growth and reproduction of several Arabidopsis thaliana mutants to assess the relative importance of photoprotection via chloroplast movement and NPQ. METHODS: Plants were grown outdoors (natural conditions)...
