This study identifies the polygenic architecture of photoprotection in sorghum through a high-throughput screen of natural genetic variation in non-photochemical quenching traits.

The paper identifies photophysiological variation in wild barley linked to environmental origin through common garden experiments and GWAS.

This paper reviews methods for detecting Carbon Concentrating Mechanisms (CCMs) in aquatic plants and proposes a new molecular assay for PEPC expression to better characterize photosynthetic diversity in aquatic species.

The paper analyzes maize CO2 assimilation under fluctuating light and finds decoupling from electron transport at room temperature, but tighter coupling under suboptimal temperature due to feedback regulation.

This study shows that NPQ relaxation is faster in C4 species than in C3 species, driven by enhanced energy-dependent quenching and altered lumen pH regulation.

This study identifies genetic variation affecting NPQ and PSII efficiency in maize using field-grown MAGIC population, highlighting CP24 as a key gene for photosynthetic improvement.
