Also known as: FDPs, flavodiiron proteins, FLVs
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Secondly, strategies intended to optimize the acclimation of photosynthesis to changes in the environment are presented, including redesigning mechanisms to dissipate excess excitation energy (e.g., non-photochemical quenching) or reduction power (e.g., flavodiiron proteins).
Usefulness & Problems

The abstract does not claim that flavodiiron-protein deployment has already delivered the desired agronomic outcome. It emphasizes that such interventions remain exploratory and are limited by systems-level interactions.; the review states that these endeavors are still in an early exploratory phase and/or have not resulted in the desired outcome
