Abstract excerpt
Excess excitation energy in the light-harvesting antenna of Photosystem II (PSII) can cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus. In periods of high light intensity, a feedback mechanism known as non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) induces the formation of quenchers, which can safely dissipate excess excitation energy as heat. Although quenchers have been identified in more than one compartment of...
