Chl a fluorescence transients of untreated (closed symbols) and severely high-temperature-stressed (open symbols) barley leaves illuminated with 5000 (green symbols), 10,000 (red symbols) and 15,000 (black symbols) µmol photons m−2 s−1. To allow a comparison of the kinetics the transients were shifted to 0 to have for all transients the same O value. The time needed to reach the K peak at the different light intensities is indicated. The K peak equates approximately 1 charge separation in all RCs after which a shortage of electrons that can be donated by the donor side occurs, and the fluorescence intensity decreases due to re-oxidation of Q A reduced by the first charge separation (modified from Tóth et al. 2007a)
