“…Moreover, its role is clear in the up‐regulation of water‐use efficiency (Correa‐Galvis et al, ). On the other hand, our previous experiments have demonstrated that NPQ and LHCII arrangement, together with CD conditional molecular regulators ( lesion‐simulating disease [ LSD1 ], enhanced disease susceptibility [ EDS1 ]), play a key role in chloroplast retrograde electrical and biochemical signalling as well as in anterograde regulation of light memory, and thus, in the proper induction of SAA, SAR, water‐use efficiency and CD (Bernacki et al, ; Karpiński et al, ; Mateo et al, ; Mühlenbock et al, ; Szechyńska‐Hebda et al, ; Wituszyńska et al, , ). Considering the fact that growth, development and plant productivity responses are dependent on photosynthesis, chloroplast retrograde signalling, cell‐cycle regulation and the ultimate end of the cell cycle (CD), we formulated a working hypothesis that PsbS plays an important role in direct or indirect regulation of light memory, chloroplast retrograde redox and electrical signalling, light acclimation, and cross‐tolerance to UV.…”
