    Notes: Leaves of Stephania japonica and Smilax australis were characterized in situ on the coast of north-eastern New South Wales, Australia, where they were growing naturally in three different light environments: deep shade, in the understory of an open Eucalyptus forest where they received frequent sunflecks of high intensity, and in an exposed site receiving full sunlight. In deep shade the xanthophyll cycle remained epoxidized during the day and the vast majority of absorbed light was utilized for photosynthesis. In the exposed site both deepoxidation and epoxidation of the xanthophyll cycle and changes in the level of xanthophyll-dependent thermal energy dissipation largely tracked the diurnal changes in photon flux density (PFD). In the understory the xanthophyll cycle became largely deepoxidized to zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin upon exposure of the leaves to the first high intensity sunfleck and this high level of deepoxidation was maintained throughout the day both during and between subsequent sunflecks. In contrast, thermal energy dissipation activity, and the efficiency of photosystem II, fluctuated rapidly in response to the changes in incident PFD. These findings suggest a fine level of control over the engagement of zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin in energy dissipation activity, presumably through rapid changes in thylakoid acidification, such that they became rapidly engaged for photoprotection during the sunflecks and rapidly disengaged upon return to low light when continued engagement might limit carbon gain.

    Notes: Abstract Seasonal differences in the efficiency of open PSII units (F v/F m), leaf pigment composition and xanthophyll cycle conversion (Z+A)/(V+A+Z), leaf adenylate status, and photosynthetic capacity were investigated in Pinus ponderosa (Ponderosa pine) and Malva neglecta. In P. ponderosa, acclimation to winter involved a lower photosynthetic capacity, higher carotenoid to chlorophyll ratio, persistent reductions in F v/F m corresponding to persistent retention of Z+A, and no change in foliar ATP/ADP ratios. In contrast, M. neglecta characterized in winter exhibited higher rates of photosynthesis than in summer with no change in carotenoid to chlorophyll ratio, while small nocturnally persistent reductions in F v/F m were observed exclusively on colder winter nights when nocturnal retention of Z+A, and high ATP/ADP ratios were also present. Upon removal of winter-stressed leaves or needles from the field to room temperature, a portion of F v/F m relaxed within 15 min of warming and recovery was completed within 5 h in M. neglecta but required 100 h in P. ponderosa. In M. neglecta, the entire recovery of F v/F m correlated with decreases in the foliar ATP/ADP ratio, while in P. ponderosa this ratio remained unchanged. Possible ATP-dependent forms of sustained (Z+A)-dependent energy dissipation are discussed including a nocturnally retained pH gradient on cold winter nights. The slow recovery in pine involved not only retention of Z+A, but apparently also a persistent engagement of Z+A for energy dissipation via an unidentified mechanism.
