Abstract
Using chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence many aspects of the photosynthetic apparatus can be studied, both in vitro and, noninvasively, in vivo. Complementary techniques can help to interpret changes in the Chl a fluorescence kinetics. Kalaji et al. (Photosynth Res 122:121-158, 2014a) addressed several questions about instruments, methods and applications based on Chl a fluorescence. Here, additional Chl a fluorescence-related topics are discussed again in a question and answer format. Examples are the effect of connectivity on photochemical quenching, the correction of F V /F M values for PSI fluorescence, the energy partitioning concept, the interpretation of the complementary area, probing the donor side of PSII, the assignment of bands of 77 K fluorescence emission spectra to fluorescence emitters, the relationship between prompt and delayed fluorescence, potential problems when sampling tree canopies, the use of fluorescence parameters in QTL studies, the use of Chl a fluorescence in biosensor applications and the application of neural network approaches for the analysis of fluorescence measurements. The answers draw on knowledge from different Chl a fluorescence analysis domains, yielding in several cases new insights.

Abstract
The structural organization of photosystem I (PSI) complexes in cyanobacteria and the origin of the PSI antenna long-wavelength chlorophylls and their role in energy migration, charge separation, and dissipation of excess absorbed energy are discussed. The PSI complex in cyanobacterial membranes is organized preferentially as a trimer with the core antenna enriched with long-wavelength chlorophylls. The contents of long-wavelength chlorophylls and their spectral characteristics in PSI trimers and monomers are species-specific. Chlorophyll aggregates in PSI antenna are potential candidates for the role of the long-wavelength chlorophylls. The red-most chlorophylls in PSI trimers of the cyanobacteria Arthrospira platensis and Thermosynechococcus elongatus can be formed as a result of interaction of pigments peripherally localized on different monomeric complexes within the PSI trimers. Long-wavelength chlorophylls affect weakly energy equilibration within the heterogeneous PSI antenna, but they significantly delay energy trapping by P700. When the reaction center is open, energy absorbed by long-wavelength chlorophylls migrates to P700 at physiological temperatures, causing its oxidation. When the PSI reaction center is closed, the P700 cation radical or P700 triplet state (depending on the P700 redox state and the PSI acceptor side cofactors) efficiently quench the fluorescence of the long-wavelength chlorophylls of PSI and thus protect the complex against photodestruction.

Karapetyan NV. Protective dissipation of excess absorbed energy by photosynthetic apparatus of cyanobacteria: role of antenna terminal emitters. PHOTOSYNTHESIS RESEARCH 2008; 97:195-204.

Abstract
Two mechanisms of photoprotective dissipation of the excessively absorbed energy by photosynthetic apparatus of cyanobacteria are described that divert energy from reaction centers. Energy dissipation, monitored as nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching, occurs at different steps of energy transfer within the phycobilisomes or core antenna of photosystem I. Although these mechanisms differ significantly, in both cases, energy dissipates mainly from terminal emitters: allophycocyanin B or core membrane linker protein (L(CM)) in phycobilisomes, or the longest-wavelength chlorophylls in photosystem I antenna. It is supposed that carotenoid-induced energy dissipation in phycobilisomes is triggered by light-induced transformation of the nonquenched state of antenna into quenched state due to conformation changes caused by orange carotinoid-binding protein (OCP)-phycobilisome interaction. Fluorescence of the longest-wavelength chlorophylls of photosystem I antenna is strongly quenched by P700 cation radical or by P700 triplet state, dependent on redox state of the acceptor side cofactors of photosystem I.

Modulations of the thylakoid system in snow xanthophycean alga cultured in the dark for two months: comparison between microspectrofluorimetric responses and morphological aspects. PROTOPLASMA 2005; 226:125-35. [PMID: 16333571 DOI: 10.1007/s00709-005-0127-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2005] [Accepted: 05/25/2005] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
The response of the plastid was studied, with a special emphasis on thylakoid structure and function, in a snow filamentous xanthophycean alga (Xanthonema sp.) incubated in darkness for two months. Microspectrofluorimetric analyses were performed on single living cells to study the variations in the assembly of the chlorophyll-protein complexes of photosystem II, in comparison with cells grown in light. In parallel, changes in micro- and submicroscopic plastid morphology and in photosynthetic pigment content were monitored. Throughout the experiment, the lamellar architecture of thylakoids in the alga was relatively well preserved, whereas photosystem II underwent disassembly and degradation triggered by prolonged darkness. Conversely, the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II proved to be relatively stable for long periods in darkness. Moreover, a role of the peripheral antennae in determining thylakoid arrangement in xanthophycean algae is implied. Although the responses observed in Xanthonema sp. can be considered in terms of acclimation to darkness, the progressive destabilisation of the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II testifies to incipient ageing of the cells after 35 days.
