As in other species, rapidly reversible photoprotection (measured as non-photochemical chlorophyll fluorescence quenching) is initiated within the time frame of sun-flecks (minutes), before detectable conversion of violaxanthin to antheraxanthin or zeaxanthin. Photoprotection is stabilized within hours of exposure to strong light by simultaneously engaging the reversible violaxanthin cycle and a slowly reversible conversion of lutein-epoxide to lutein. It is proposed that this lutein 'locks in' a primary mechanism of photoprotection during photoacclimation in this species, converting efficient light-harvesting antennae of the shade plant into potential excitation dissipating centres. It is hypothesized that lutein occupies sites L2 and V1 in light-harvesting chlorophyll protein complexes of photosystem II, facilitating enhanced photoprotection through the superior singlet and/or triplet chlorophyll quenching capacity of lutein.}, keywords = {Acclimatization: physiology / Circadian Rhythm / Electron Transport / Fabaceae: metabolism / Fabaceae: physiology / Fabaceae: radiation effects / Light / Lutein: analogs $\&$ derivatives / Lutein: metabolism / Photosynthetic Reaction Center Complex Proteins: physiology / Pigments, Biological: metabolism / Plant Leaves: physiology / Trees: physiology / Tropical Climate / Photosynthetic Reaction Center Complex Proteins (NLM Chemicals) / Pigments, Biological (NLM Chemicals) / Lutein (NLM Chemicals) / J (WoSType)}, cin = {ICG-III}, ddc = {580}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)VDB49}, pnm = {Chemie und Dynamik der Geo-Biosphäre}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK257}, shelfmark = {Plant Sciences}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:15501906}, UT = {WOS:000226610500015}, doi = {10.1093/jxb/eri012}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/40448}, }
