Photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence (qP), components of non-photochemical quenching–fast-relaxating qE and slow relaxating qI, as well as the change in F0 observed during high-light treatment: (F0F0HL)/F0 was measured in two independent experiments, total in eight or six (frozen plants) replications.

Values of the same parameter with the same letter did not differ significantly at P = 0·05 (Duncan's multiple range test).
