Coordination of cyclic electron flow and alternative electron sinks adjusts photosynthetic regulation in maize under fluctuating light during combined heat and drought stress

Field-grown maize is frequently exposed to fluctuating light (FL) combined with heat and drought during summer, yet the underlying photosynthetic regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. We examined chlorophyll fluorescence, the P700 redox state, and electrochromic shift s...
