Chl a fluorescence parameters qP, NPQ, qE, qT, and qI of adg1-1/tpt-1 compared with the wild type

Rosette leaves were illuminated for 4 min at the PFD indicated and darkened for a further 16 min while supplying saturating light pulses at increasing time intervals. The Chl a fluorescence parameters were determined graphically from the relaxation kinetics shown in Supplemental Fig. S2, assuming a similar antenna fluorescence in adg1-1/tpt-1 plants as in wild-type plants. The data represent means ± se of three to five measurements. Statistical analysis was performed according to the Welch test. Note that the individual NPQ types are correlated as follows: (1 − NPQ) = (1 − qE)·(1 − qT)·(1 − qI).
