U. Heber, W. Bilger, R. Türk and O. L. Lange 2010: Photoprotection of reaction centres in photosynthetic organisms: mechanisms of thermal energy dissipation in desiccated thalli of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria. - New Phytologist185: 459-470. [RLL List # 218 / Rec.# 31922] Keywords: LOBARIA/ PHOTOSYNTHESIS/ PHOTOPROTECTION/ DESICCATION/ PHOTOSYSTEM II/ CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE/ CONFORMATIONAL CHANGES/ PIGMENT PROTEIN
Abstract: ["In the shorter term, availability of lichen during desiccation increases fluorescence quenching and, thereby, phototolerance ... probably by increased dissipative interaction between pigments within the desiccation-responsive protein."]
