Non-photochemical quenching. A response to excess light energy.
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. In extreme cases, photooxidative damage can cause pigment bleaching and death, a phenomenon all too familiar to anyone who has tried to move a ...
متن کاملA mathematical model of non-photochemical quenching to study short-term light memory in plants.
Plants are permanently exposed to rapidly changing environments, therefore it is evident that they had to evolve mechanisms enabling them to dynamically adapt to such fluctuations. Here we study how plants can be trained to enhance their photoprotection and elaborate on the concept of the short-term illumination memory in Arabidopsis thaliana. By monitoring fluorescence emission dynamics we sys...
متن کاملA universal mathematical model of non-photochemical quenching to study short-term light memory in plants
The concept of plant memory triggers a quite controversial dispute on the definition, extent or even existence of such. Because plants are permanently exposed to rapidly changing environments it is evident that they had to evolve mechanisms enabling them to dynamically adapt to such fluctuations. Recognizing memory as a timed response to changes of external inputs through amplification and inte...
متن کاملRelationship between xanthophyll cycle and non-photochemical quenching in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants in response to light stress.
Thirty days old rice plants grown under low and moderate light conditions were transferred to full sunlight to observe the extent of photoinhibitory damage and protective mechanism, and the relationship between xanthophyll cycle and nonphotochemical quenching (qN) under changing light environment. Control plants (low, moderate and sun grown) exhibited similar Fv/Fm ratio, indicating similar pho...
متن کاملA kinetic model of non-photochemical quenching in cyanobacteria.
High light poses a threat to oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. Similar to eukaryotes, cyanobacteria evolved a photoprotective mechanism, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), which dissipates excess absorbed energy as heat. An orange carotenoid protein (OCP) has been implicated as a blue-green light sensor that induces NPQ in cyanobacteria. Discovered in vitro, this process involves a light-induc...
