This study overexpresses NPQ genes in C4 plant Setaria viridis to compare photoprotection mechanisms with C3 plants, finding shared and unique traits that could improve crop resilience.

This study edits cis-regulatory elements in rice to generate stomatal density variation, linking morphological changes to physiological traits and drought response.

The paper identifies a transient increase in quenching in the dark after high light exposure in Arabidopsis, independent of known NPQ mechanisms.

This study uses EEA-free transient absorption to show Chl to Zea energy transfer during qE and reduced exciton diffusion under high light.

This study investigates the role of CP26 in NPQ regulation in Arabidopsis by analyzing higher-order cp26 mutants and shows that NPQ deficiency in these mutants is independent of qE and qZ.

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to generate transgene-free overexpression alleles of rice PSBS1, showing increased protein abundance and improved water-use efficiency.
