Melanisation in Boreal Lichens Is Accompanied by Variable Changes in Non-Photochemical Quenching [PDF]
Lichens often grow in microhabitats where they absorb more light than they can use for fixing carbon, and this excess energy can cause the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Light Quality-Dependent Regulation of Non-Photochemical Quenching in Tomato Plants [PDF]
Photosynthetic pigments of plants capture light as a source of energy for photosynthesis. However, the amount of energy absorbed often exceeds its utilization, thus causing damage to the photosynthetic apparatus.

Non-photochemical quenching capacity in Arabidopsis thaliana affects herbivore behaviour. [PDF]
Under natural conditions, plants have to cope with numerous stresses, including light-stress and herbivory. This raises intriguing questions regarding possible trade-offs between stress defences and growth.

Light availability is considered a key factor regulating the thermal sensitivity of reef building corals, where excessive excitation of photosystem II (PSII) further exacerbates pressure on photochemical pathways already compromised by heat stress. Coral

Changes in Chlorophyll a fluorescence and DNA as a plant response to UV-B radiation in Gnaphalium vira-vira [PDF]
Ozone depletion at southern latitudes has recently increased the fluence of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation striking the ground. This phenomenon has sparked much interest in unravelling the effects of this harmful radiation on living systems.

Exogenous application of trehalose induced H2O2 production and stomatal closure in Vicia faba
Trehalose can reduce stomatal aperture by a hydrogen-peroxide-dependent pathway in Vicia faba L. (cv. Daqingpi) resulting in significantly lower values of net photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gs), and transpiration rate (E). At 8 and 24 h,

Photosynthesis sensitivity to NH4+-N change with nitrogen fertilizer type
N-fertilization type affected differently tomato growth. In the field experiment, hydroponic cultures were conducted using NO3-N (5 mmol); mixture of KNO3-N (3 mmol) and (NH4)2SO4-N (2 mmol); NH4+-N (5 mmol) or urea (5 mmol) as nitrogen source.
