Non-Photochemical Quenching. A Response to Excess Light Energy [PDF]
Plants and algae have a love/hate relationship with light. As oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms, they require light for life; however, too much light can lead to increased production of damaging reactive oxygen species as byproducts of photosynthesis.

Analysis of initial chlorophyll fluorescence induction kinetics in chloroplasts in terms of rate constants of donor side quenching release and electron trapping in photosystem II [PDF]
The fluorescence induction F(t) of dark-adapted chloroplasts has been studied in multi-turnover 1 s light flashes (MTFs). A theoretical expression for the initial fluorescence rise is derived from a set of rate equations that describes the sequence of ...

Models and measurements of energy-dependent quenching. [PDF]
Energy-dependent quenching (qE) in photosystem II (PSII) is a pH-dependent response that enables plants to regulate light harvesting in response to rapid fluctuations in light intensity.

Synthesis and potential use of 1,8-naphthalimide type O-1(2) sensor molecules [PDF]
New double (fluorescent and spin) sensor molecules containing 4-amino substituted 1,8-naphthalimide as a fluorophore and a sterically hindered amine (pre-nitroxide) or pyrroline nitroxide as a quencher and radical capturing moiety were synthesized.

Comparison of drought stress response and gene expression between a GM maize variety and a near-isogenic non-GM variety [PDF]
Maize MON810, grown and commercialised worldwide, is the only cultivated GM event in the EU. Maize MON810, variety DKC6575, and the corresponding near-isogenic line Tietar were studied in different growth conditions, to compare their behaviour in ...

Effects of spine-shading on aspects of photosynthesis for three cactus species
We evaluated the effect of spine removal on three cactus species varying in spine-shading of stems. Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus showed the greater spine shading (c. 61 %), followed by Mammillaria zephyranthoides (43 %), and Echinocactus platyacanthus (

Knock-Out of the Genes Coding for the Rieske Protein and the ATP-Synthase δ-Subunit of Arabidopsis [PDF]
In Arabidopsis, the nuclear genes PetC and AtpD code for the Rieske protein of the cytochrome b6/f (cyt b6/f) complex and the δ-subunit of the chloroplast ATP synthase (cpATPase), respectively.
