Control—solar light supplemented with HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) lamps; LED (Light-Emitting Diodes). Values represent means (n = 20) ± SE. Values marked with stars differ from the control significantly according to the Student's t test: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. ABS/CSm—energy absorption by antennas, DIo/CSm—energy dissipation from PSII, ETo/CSm—the energy used for electron transport, PI—performance index of PSII, RC/CSm—number of active reaction centers, TRo/CSm—excitation energy trapped in PSII, δ Ro—efficiency with which an electron can move from the reduced intersystem of electron acceptors to the PSI end electron acceptors, ψ Ro—probability, at time 0, that a trapped exciton moves an electron into the electron transport chain beyond QA , φ Ro—quantum yield of electron transport from QA to the PSI end electron acceptors.
