CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE IN STATE TRANSITIONS
Mehler reaction and the cyclic electron current around PS I can contribute to the
increase of ATP/NADPH ratio. Maintaining the electron flow in thylakoids in the
presence of an enough quantity of NADP + as an electron acceptor is essential to the
protection of chloroplasts against photooxidative stress, process in which participate
the cyclic electron current and the water-water cycle around PS I.
