Acclimation of the leaves or stems of four succulent species to different light environments and to the light gradient across high light-acclimated tissues was examined through measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and characterisation of the pigment composition of the thylakoid membranes. Whereas the total amounts of light striking the upper (sun-exposed) and lower (self-shaded) surfaces were quite different, resulting in a much smaller pool of the xanthophyll cycle carotenoids in the lower halves of high light-acclimated tissues, the conversion state of the xanthophyll cycle (the degree to which violaxanthin is converted to antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin) was similar throughout the tissues during exposure to natural sunlight. Under full sunlight, less than 25% of the light absorbed by the upper surface was utilised through photosynthesis, with the majority of the remaining excitation energy being dissipated thermally. In contrast, a considerably greater fraction of the light absorbed by the lower surface was utilised in photosynthesis, ranging from one-third to more than two-thirds of the total energy absorbed.

In plant grana thylakoid membranes Photosystem II (PSII) associates with a variable number of antenna proteins (LHCII) to form different types of supercomplexes (PSII-LHCII), whose organization is dynamically adjusted in response to light cues, with the C2S2 more abundant in high-light and the C2S2M2 in low-light. Paired PSII-LHCII supercomplexes interacting at their stromal surface from adjacent thylakoid membranes were previously suggested to mediate grana stacking. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy maps of paired C2S2 and C2S2M2 supercomplexes isolated from pea plants grown in high-light and low-light, respectively. These maps show a different rotational offset between the two supercomplexes in the pair, responsible for modifying their reciprocal interaction and energetic connectivity. This evidence reveals a different way by which paired PSII-LHCII supercomplexes can mediate grana stacking at diverse irradiances. Electrostatic stromal interactions between LHCII trimers almost completely overlapping in the paired C2S2 can be the main determinant by which PSII-LHCII supercomplexes mediate grana stacking in plants grown in high-light, whereas the mutual interaction of stromal N-terminal loops of two facing Lhcb4 subunits in the paired C2S2M2 can fulfil this task in plants grown in low-light. The high-light induced accumulation of the Lhcb4.3 protein in PSII-LHCII supercomplexes has been previously reported. Our cryo-electron microscopy map at 3.8 Å resolution of the C2S2 supercomplex isolated from plants grown in high-light suggests the presence of the Lhcb4.3 protein revealing peculiar structural features of this high-light-specific antenna important for photoprotection.
