Lhcf9 is a novel negative regulator of non-photochemical quenching in the diatom Chaetoceros gracilis

Midori Nakamura, Minoru Kumazawa, Ryo Nagao, Takehiro Suzuki, Shoko Tsuji, Hazuki Hasegawa, Hiroaki Takebe, Atsushi Sakurai, S. Imamura, Noriko Ishikawa, Naoshi Dohmae, Seiji Akimoto, Kentaro Ifuku

This paper identifies CgLhcf9 as a negative regulator of energy-dependent NPQ in the diatom Chaetoceros gracilis, showing it suppresses NPQ under specific light and CO2 conditions to improve growth.

Different functions of Lhcx isoforms in photoprotective mechanism in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

Mana Nakayasu, Seiji Akimoto, Kohei Yoneda, Soichiro Ikuta, Ginga Shimakawa, Yusuke Matsuda

The study identifies two distinct Lhcx isoforms in Thalassiosira pseudonana that mediate different photoprotective mechanisms for excess light energy dissipation.
