When the capacity of leaves for orderly dissipation of excitation energy in photosynthesis is exceeded, one mechanism by which the excess energy appears to be dissipated is through a nonradiative decay process. This process is observed as a reversible quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence emission (
Chlorophyll fluorescence emission at 680 nm (F680) and the rate of CO 2 fixation were measured simultaneously in sections along the length of wheat and maize leaves. These leaves possess a basal meristem and show a gradation in development towards the leaf tip. The redox state of the primary electro
