The project investigates the mechanisms of photoinhibition in plants, focusing on how excessive light absorption affects Photosystem II. By exploring energy dissipation and fluorescence changes, it aims to uncover protective strategies against light stress, with implications for agriculture and energy conversion.
Plants use light energy to reduce carbon from CO2 to produce sugars.
But what happens if too much light is absorbed?
Part of the energy is thermally dissipated in a process called non-photochemical quenching; nevertheless excessive absorption inevitably leads to Photosystem II (PSII) damage and photoinhibition.
This is followed by degradation and replacement of the reaction center core.
Interestingly, photoinhibition is accompanied by a decrease in fluorescence yield, indicating an increase of t…
