Update on Photoprotection Manipulation of Photoprotection to Improve Plant Photosynthesis
Light is of course essential for photosynthesis and supports most life on earth. However, light intensity and spectral quality are highly variable in space and time according to time of day, season, geography, climate, and the position of leaf within canopy and cell within leaf. This has resulted in the evolution of a remarkable suite of processes within the photosynthetic system to accommodate...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis and photoprotection in symbiotic corals
In zooxanthellate corals, excess excitation energy can be dissipated as heat (nonphotochemical quenching), thereby providing protection against oxidative damage by supraoptimal light in shallow reefs. To identify and quantify the photoprotective mechanisms, we studied the diel variability of chlorophyll fluorescence yields and photosynthetic parameters in situ in corals, using moored and SCUBA-...
متن کاملFlavonoids and UV photoprotection in Arabidopsis mutants.
Wild-type Arabidopsis L. leaves exposed to low ultraviolet-B (UVB) conditions contained predominantly kaempferol glycosides, with low levels of quercetin glycosides. The flavonoid level doubled on treatment with UVB and an increase in the ratio of quercetin: kaempferol was observed. These results suggest that flavonols protect Arabidopsis plants from UVB damage, and indicate that the flavonoid ...

متن کاملExposure to Non-Extreme Solar UV Daylight: Spectral Characterization, Effects on Skin and Photoprotection
The link between chronic sun exposure of human skin and harmful clinical consequences such as photo-aging and skin cancers is now indisputable. These effects are mostly due to ultraviolet (UV) rays (UVA, 320-400 nm and UVB, 280-320 nm). The UVA/UVB ratio can vary with latitude, season, hour, meteorology and ozone layer, leading to different exposure conditions. Zenithal sun exposure (for exampl...
