Abstract excerpt
Rapid fluctuations in the quantity and quality of natural light expose photosynthetic organisms to conditions when the capacity to utilize absorbed quanta is insufficient. These conditions can result in the production of reactive oxygen species and photooxidative damage. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and alternative electron transport are the two most prominent mechanisms which synergistically function to...
