Discussion on the nonregulatory nonphotochemical quenching
The present paper aims to open discussion on the information content, physical mechanism(s), and measuring protocols to determine the partitioning of the absorbed light energy in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms – and on the so-called nonregulatory or constitutive component of the nonphotochemical quenching, in particular. Revisiting these questions is incited by recent findings discovering that Photosystem II, in addition to its open and closed state, assumes a light-adapted charge-separated state and that chlorophyll-a fluorescence induction, besides the photochemical activity of PSII, reflects the structural dynamics of its reaction center complex.
