Preprint alert ⚠️ We studied PSBS and LHCSR function in zeaxanthin quenching and showed important divergence in the molecular mechanism 👀🌱☀️ @cla_beraldo , @Ale_Alboresi @TMorosinotto and great collaboration with @EWientjes1 H van Amerongen researchsquare.com/article/r…

Functional Divergence of LHCSR and PSBS in Zeaxanthin-Mediated Non-Photochemical Quenching

To protect photosystem II from excess light, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LHCSR in algae and PSBS in vascular plants, and the...
