Screening of visible and UV radiation as a photoprotective mechanism in plants (2008, background): “The changes in plastid ultrastructure of (a, b) the microalga and higher plant (c, d) leaves and (e, f) fruit during their adaptation to high fluxes of light [29, 87, 105].”
Application of Reflectance Spectroscopy for Analysis of Higher Plant Pigments (2003, background): “rather than thylakoids become the predominant sites of Car localization [4, 6, 7, 21, 48].”
Vitamin synthesis in plants: tocopherols and carotenoids. (2006, background): “Carotenoids within plastoglobuli exhibit much higher light stability than carotenoids in chloroplast membranes, indicating pigments are better protected from light-mediated destruction in these structures (75).”
Light-dependent regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis in plants (2009, background): “In these plastids, carotenoids are stored in plastoglobuli, where they are more photo-stable than in chloroplasts (Merzlyak and Solovchenko, 2002).”
EFFECT OF NITROGEN STARVATION ON OPTICAL PROPERTIES, PIGMENTS, AND ARACHIDONIC ACID CONTENT OF THE UNICELLULAR GREEN ALGA PARIETOCHLORIS INCISA (TREBOUXIOPHYCEAE, CHLOROPHYTA) 1 (2007, background): “In addition, extrathylakoid Car in plastoglobuli (Merzlyak and Solovchenko 2002) and extraplastidial Car in oil bodies (Thompson 1996) are able to exert photoprotection by trapping harmful radiation PARIETOCHLORIS INCISA : N-STARVATION 841 in the blue range.”
