... Other factors important for the photosynthetic apparatus acclimation to stress were the redox state of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool and H2O2 content [19]. According to recent data, photosynthetic pigments play a key role in the activity and productivity of the photosynthetic apparatus in plants, and a complex correlation between photosynthetic pigments and productivity has been found [20][21][22]. High salt concentrations in the soil especially affect the PSII photochemical efficiency, charge separation of primary charge pairs in PSII, and pigment-protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane [23]. Thus, it was found that salt induces changes in the energy transfer between the multimeric pigment-protein complexes of PSII [24]. ...
