We review the mechanism underlying nonphotochemical chlorophyll fluorescence
quenching (NPQ) and its role in protecting plants against photoinhibition. This review …

The rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and rising greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions
have necessitated research into low-cost renewable energy sources, with a focus on algal …

High oxidative stress inhibits the synthesis and accumulation of chlorophylls, the pigments
that absorb and use light. We collated evidence from a diverse array of studies …

Drought, the major limiting factor for plant growth and crop productivity, affecting several
physiological and biochemical processes, is expected to increase in duration, intensity, and …

Photoprotection refers to a set of well defined plant processes that help to prevent the
deleterious effects of high and excess light on plant cells, especially within the chloroplast …

Hormesis in photosystem II (PSII) that is observed in appropriately planned studies is a dose
or-time-response relationship to a disruption of homeostasis illustrated by U-shaped …

In the field, plants experience high light (HL) intensities that are often accompanied by
elevated temperatures. Such conditions are a serious threat to agriculture production …

The field of dose–response has received attention from the early modern period in the
history of science. While it was thought that linear dose–response is the rule of thumb …

In natural ecosystems, plants are constantly exposed to changes in their surroundings as
they grow, caused by a lifestyle that requires them to live where their seeds fall. Thus, plants …

The efficiency of monochromatic light to drive photosynthesis drops rapidly at wavelengths
longer than 685 nm. The photosynthetic efficiency of these longer wavelengths can be …
