Nanostructures as color-tunable luminescent markers have become major, promising tools for bioimaging and biosensing. In this paper separated molybdate/GdO doped rare earth ions (erbium, Er and ytterbium, Yb) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), were fabricated by a one-step homogeneous precipitation process. Emission properties were studied by cathodo- and photoluminescence.

In basic models, the majority of absorbed photon energy is radiated back as fluorescence and heat. For years the proton sensor protein PsbS was considered to play a critical role in non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of light absorbed by PSII antennae and in its dissipation as heat.

- Systemic acquired acclimation (SAA) is a mechanism that helps plants adjust to excess light through changes in chlorophyll fluorescence and signaling processes.
- Researchers studied both wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and a mutant (npq4-1) to understand how SAA affects fluorescence dynamics under light stress.
- The results showed that functional PsbS is crucial for optimizing how plants handle light energy, essential for effective responses to excess light conditions.
