The paper investigates the role of PsbS in C4 plants under fluctuating light and finds that qE provides limited adaptive benefit compared to C3 plants.

This study shows that PGR5 enables efficient C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light by supporting proton motive force and energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching.

This study identifies distinct roles of PGRL1 paralogs in photoprotection within C4 photosynthesis, showing PGRL1{beta} enables rapid photoprotection while PGRL1 maintains oxidation under steady-state high light.

This study shows that NDH complex-mediated cyclic electron flow in bundle sheath cells is essential for ATP production required for CO2 fixation in C4 photosynthesis.
