Photoprotection and Photoinhibitory Damage

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biochemical photoprotection strategies that are adopted by photosynthetic organisms in response to high light. The molecular processes of photosynthesis withstand photoinhibitory damage include (1) mechanisms whereby excess excitation energy is dissipated or utilized; (2) redox sites when defence fail for one reason another; and (3) subsequent repair required sustain function. nature results photoprotective also discussed chapter. recovery from damage. review represents a selection aspects fundamental dilemma among organisms: how maximize efficiency light capture utilization low avoid effects too much There still great deal be learned about exact function violaxanthin cycle controlled heat dissipation needs clarified.
