Zeaxanthin Synthesis, Energy Dissipation, and Photoprotection of Photosystem II at Chilling Temperatures

When leaves of a mangrove, Rhizophora mangle, were exposed to an excess of light at chilling temperatures, synthesis of zeaxanthin through violaxanthin de-epoxidation as well as nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching were markedly reduced. The results suggest a protective role of energy dissipation...
