“…Multiple photoprotective hypotheses have been established including Mn-mediated UV photoinactivation (Hakala et al, 2005; Ohnishi et al, 2005; Wei et al, 2011; Hou et al, 2013), cytochrome b-559 cyclic electron flow or cytochrome b-559 reversible interconvertion between the two redox forms (Thompson and Brudvig, 1988; Barber and De Las Rivas, 1993; Shinopoulos and Brudvig, 2012), and a β-carotene photooxidation (Telfer et al, 2003; Alric, 2005; Shinopoulos et al, 2014). The unidirectional photodamage of pheophytin in photosynthesis is discovered.…”
