To analyse potential changes in polypeptide composition upon NPQ formation/relaxation, glycine–sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (glycine–SDS-PAGE; Laemmli 1970 (link)) was used, as in Qin et al. (2015b (link)). Stacking and separation gels of 4 and 12% acrylamide/bis-acrylamide (29:1) mix, respectively, were employed. Samples were denatured with a lithium dodecyl sulphate sample buffer (Ikeuchi and Inoue 1988 ) at 40 °C for 10 min, and 10 μg Chl of chloroplasts was loaded per lane. After electrophoresis, gels were used for electroblotting onto nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare, UK) and the proteins were incubated overnight at 4 °C with antibodies raised against PsbS (Agrisera AS09533, 1:2000), LHCSR3 (Agrisera AS142766, 1:1000) and LHCSR1 (Agrisera AS142819, 1:1000). The β subunit of ATP synthase (ATP-B, Agrisera AS05085, 1:2000) was used as loading control. Enhanced chemiluminescence (WSE-6200HLuminiGraph II chemiluminescent imaging system, ATTO, Japan) was used to visualise protein bands after incubation with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody (Agrisera AS09602, 1:20000).

Total leaf proteins were extracted in the sample buffer as described by Mihailova et al. [8 (link)]. The protein content was determined according to Bradford [54 (link)]. Isolated samples were separated on 12% (dehydrins) or 16% (ELIPs) SDS-PAGE (SE260 Mighty Small II, Hoefer, Holliston, MA, USA) according to Laemmli [55 (link)], modified by adding 8.0% glycerol to stacking and separating gels using a constant current of 20 mA per gel. Each lane contains 30 μg total leaf protein. Using semi-dry transfer (TE70X, Hoefer, Holliston, MA, USA) the proteins were blotted on nitrocellulose membrane for 90 min at a current of 1 mA cm−2. Prestained protein standard (Precision Plus Protein™ Dual Color Standards, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was used for monitoring electrophoresis separation and transfer efficiency. Blots were probed with primary antibodies against ELIPs (AS06 147A, Agrisera, Vännäs, Sweden) and dehydrin K-segment (AS07 206A, Agrisera, Vännäs, Sweden). Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody was used (AS09 602, Agrisera, Vännäs, Sweden). The resulting bands were visualized by chemiluminescence, and signals were recorded on X-ray Blue films (Carestream Dental LLC, Atlanta, GA, USA). Films were scanned using an Epson Perfection V850 PRO scanner (Seiko Epson Corporation, Suwa, Japan).

Protein content was determined with the Bio‐Rad Protein Assay Kit and chlorophyll (Chl) content according to Porra et al. (1989). Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE) and Western blotting were done as described earlier (Nikkanen et al. 2016). PVDF membranes were probed with specific antibodies against PsbS (Agrisera, AS09 533), ZE (Agrisera, AS08 289), VDE (Eskling and Åkerlund 1998), STN7 (Agrisera, AS16 4098), and phosphothreonine (P‐Thr, New England Biolabs). A horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐conjugated goat anti‐rabbit secondary antibody (Agrisera, AS09 602) was used for detection of proteins. All blot images are representative of at least three biological replicates. Quantifications of protein content were performed using the ImageJ software (Schneider et al. 2012) and normalized according to the intensity of Li‐Cor Revert Total Protein Stain or Coomassie brilliant blue stain. Statistical significance was determined by two‐tailed Student's t‐tests for unequal variances. P < 0.05 was interpreted as statistically significant.
