Summary

A fine level of control over the engagement of zeaxanthin and antheraxanth in energy dissipation activity is suggested, 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.
