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 (

The effects of elevated temperatures on the photochemical activities of photosystem 11 (PS II) in situ have been studied for barley leaves using a combination of chlorophyll a fluorescence, delayed fluorescence (DF) in the microsecond range and oxygen evolution rate (OE) Attention is given to the su
A newly developed portable chlorophyll fluorometer in combination with a special leaf clip holder was used for assessing photosynthetic activity of attached sun leaves of Fagus sylvatica and Cucurbita pepo under field conditions.

Dissipation of absorbed excitation energy as heat, measured by its effect on the quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence, is induced under conditions of excess light in order to protect the photosynthetic apparatus of plants from light-dependent damage. The spectral characteristics of this quenching h
