Photosynthetic algae are the main primary producers in polar regions, form the basis of
polar food webs, and are responsible for a significant portion of global carbon fixation. Many …

Acclimation, adaptation and survival in persistent cold polar environments are complex
phenomena associated with myriad molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms …

Cyanobacteria dominate microbiota in ice-based habitats and contend with extreme
fluctuation in temperature and lack of liquid water, which poses severe limitations (freezing …

After light, temperature is the most relevant environmental parameter in outdoors cultivation
of microalgae. Suboptimal and supraoptimal temperatures negatively impact growth and …

While light is the driving force of photosynthesis, excessive light can be harmful.
Photoinhibition is one of the key processes that limit photosynthetic productivity. A well …

Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses threatening the sustainability of global wheat
production. The landraces are tolerant to abiotic stresses and can serve as valuable genetic …

The determination of physiological tolerance ranges of photosynthetic species and of the
biochemical mechanisms underneath are fundamental to identify target processes and …

Diatoms are significant primary producers especially in cold, turbulent, and nutrient‐rich
surface oceans. Hence, they are abundant in polar oceans, but also underpin most of the …

Snow algal blooms are widespread, dominating low temperature, high light, and oligotrophic
melting snowpacks. Here, we assessed the photophysiological and cellular stoichiometric …

While PSI-driven cyclic electron flow (CEF) and assembly of thylakoid supercomplexes have
been described in model organisms like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, open questions …
