Oxygenic photosynthesis, the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on earth,
is catalyzed by four multi-subunit membrane-protein complexes: photosystem I (PSI) …

Carotenoids are, along with chlorophylls, the most abundant pigments found in nature. They
are present in most organisms including humans but can be synthesized only by plants and …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
