Estimating phytoplankton primary production in Lake IJsselmeer (The Netherlands) using variable fluorescence (PAM-FRRF) and C-uptake techniques (2008, background): “Another issue is that we might compare rapid light curves (RLC), which aim to measure the in-situ activity (White & Critchley, 1999 ; Serodio et al , 2006 ) with ‘steady-state’ light curves which measure the potential photosynthetic activity after a period of dark adaptation, allowing q E to r”
PSII Fluorescence Techniques for Measurement of Drought and High Temperature Stress Signal in Crop Plants: Protocols and Applications (2013, background): “However, such measurements immediately after dark adaptation lead to very low ETR values, as the photosynthetic process is not fully induced (White and Critchley 1999).”
PHOTOSYNTHETIC PERFORMANCE, LIGHT ABSORPTION, AND PIGMENT COMPOSITION OF MACROCYSTIS PYRIFERA (LAMINARIALES, PHAEOPHYCEAE) BLADES FROM DIFFERENT DEPTHS 1 (2006, background): “The ETR at different irradiances (ETR-E) reflects the physiological acclimation of cells to a certain light intensity (White and Critchley 1999).”
Influence of drought stress on photosynthetic characteristics and protective enzymes of potato at seedling stage (2017, background): “The drought stress mainly damages PSII of the photosynthetic organ of plants (White and Critchley, 1999).”
Photosynthesis monitoring to optimize growth of microalgal mass cultures: application of chlorophyll fluorescence techniques (2014, methodology): “RLCs of the electron transport rate vs. irradiance curve (ETR/E curve, see below) can be completed within a few minutes compared to the several hours required for SLRC (White & Critchley 1999, Ralph & Gademann 2005, Ritchie & Larkum 2012).”
Effects of temperature and irradiance on photosynthesis and growth of a green-tide-forming species (Ulva linza) in the Yellow Sea (2011, background): “Normally, high-light-adapted plants have a mechanism to downregulate photosynthetic electron transport in order to protect them from photoinhibition and UV damage (White and Critchley 1999; Ralph and Gademann 2005).”
Ecology of the Invasive Red Alga Gracilaria salicornia (Rhodophyta) on O'ahu, Hawai'i (2004, methodology): “Rapid light curves were obtained for all algal thalli using a pulse amplitude modulation fluorometer to estimate photosynthetic efficiency (White and Critchley 1999).”
Flooding tolerance of Calophyllum brasiliense Camb. (Clusiaceae): morphological, physiological and growth responses (2010, methodology): “The electron transport rates (ETR), photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching (qN) were calculated as described by White and Critchley (1999).”
Effects of Exogenous γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) on Photosynthesis and Antioxidant System in Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Seedlings Under Low Light Stress (2017, methodology): “Then the hexane extract was added with anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated using a rotary evaporator (RE-5286A, Yarong, China) at 39 °C. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm and the total carotenoids content was calculated using a standard curve.”
Photosynthetic performance of outdoor Nannochloropsis mass cultures under a wide range of environmental conditions (2009, background): “Thus, the obtained RLCs did not show the in situ activity but were more likely to express potential photosynthetic activity (White & Critchley 1999).”
Photosynthetic activity, photoprotection and photoinhibition in intertidal microphytobenthos as studied in situ using variable chlorophyll fluorescence (2008, background): “On 3 of these samples, one Rapid Light Curve (RLC; White and Critchley, 1999) was constructed every 30min.”
Characterization of a large-scale ephemeral bloom of the green alga Cladophora sericea on the coral reefs of West Maui, Hawai'i (2005, methodology): “Photosynthetic parameters were determined by performing rapid light curves (RLCs) on all samples, where an RLC consisted of a series of saturating pulses applied after 10 s exposures to actinic irradiance of increasing intensity (White & Critchley 1999).”
