On thylakoid membranes, these components encompass a network of overlapping systems that allow delicate regulation of linear and cyclic electron transfer pathways, balancing of excitation energy distribution between the two photosystems and dissipation of excess light energy in the antenna system as heat.

Mechanisms that regulate photosynthetic light reactions are reported to also mediate important functions in plant biotic stress responses.
A comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms and regulatory cross-talk between photosynthetic light reactions and disease resistance remains elusive.
Photoprotective thylakoid-membrane systems are described as overlapping mechanisms that regulate linear and cyclic electron transfer, balance excitation energy between photosystems, and dissipate excess antenna energy as heat.
