Role of xanthophyll and water-water cycles in the protection of photosynthetic apparatus in Arbutus unedo and Arabidopsis thaliana

Photosynthetic organisms have sought out the delicate balance between efficient light harvesting under limited irradiance and regulated energy dissipation under excess irradiance. One of the protective mechanisms is the thermal energy dissipation through the xanthophyll cycle that may transform...
