The PsbS protein of photosystem II functions in the regulation of photosynthetic light
harvesting. Along with a low thylakoid lumen pH and the presence of de-epoxidized …

The prospects for genetic manipulation of photosynthesis are assessed with an emphasis on
the biochemical and morphological aspects of light capture. The connection between …

A conserved regulatory mechanism protects plants against the potentially damaging effects
of excessive light. Nearly all photosynthetic eukaryotes are able to dissipate excess …

The biochemical, biophysical, and physiological properties of the PsbS protein were studied
in relation to mutations of two symmetry-related, lumen-exposed glutamate residues, Glu …

In nature, plants experience large fluctuations in light intensity and they need to balance the
absorption and utilization of this energy appropriately. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) …

In photosynthetic organisms, feedback dissipation of excess absorbed light energy balances
harvesting of light with metabolic energy consumption. This mechanism prevents …

CP29, one of the minor light-harvesting complexes of higher-plant photosystem II, absorbs
and transfers solar energy for photosynthesis and also has important roles in …

Like any other area in science, both the scope and depth of our knowledge of plant and crop
physiology are rapidly expanding. Plant/crop physiologists are continuously making new …

A remarkable amount of theoretical research has been carried out to elucidate the physical
origins of the recently observed long-lived quantum coherence in the electronic energy …

Oxygenic photosynthesis in plants involves highly reactive intermediates and byproducts
that can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and other chloroplast constituents. The …
