“…In addition, high ΔpH not only decelerates the damage to PSII by protecting the OEC, but also protect PSI by regulating electron transport from PSII to PSI ( Takahashi et al., 2009 ; Tikkanen et al., 2015 ). Similarly, cyclic electron flow around PSI plays an essential role in photoprotection for P. henryi , C. cerasoides and Phaeodactylum tricornutum under high-light ( Huang et al., 2017 ; Yang et al., 2019b ; Zhou et al., 2020 ; Sun et al., 2021 ). ETRI - ETRII, NPQ, ETRI and ETRII were increased, P m was substantially reduced in the 29.8% FL plants ( Figures 3A , 4C , 6A ), and Y(NPQ), NPQ and Y(ND) have a positive correlation with ETRI - ETRII ( Figure 8 ), suggesting that cyclic electron flow around PSI protects PSI and PII from damage by enhancing thermal dissipation capacity and regulating P700 + redox state and electron transport in high-light-grown individuals.…”
