Plants contain abundant autofluorescent molecules that can be used for biochemical,
physiological, or imaging studies. The two most studied molecules are chlorophyll …

Merocyanines, owing to their readily tunable electronic structure, are arguably the most
versatile functional dyes, with ample opportunities for tailored design via variations of both …

Plant diseases caused by bacteria have become one of the serious problems that threaten
human food security, which led to the remarkable reduction of agricultural yields and …

There are many routes to produce hydrogen. Traditionally, hydrogen can be produced
through electro-, bio-, and thermo-chemical routes. Biochemical routes involve routes such …

Different intensities of high temperatures affect the growth of photosynthetic cells in nature.
To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we cultivated the unicellular green alga …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are among the most exploited carbon allotropes
in nanosensing, bioengineering, and photobiological applications, however, the interactions …

High cellular pigment levels in dense microalgal cultures contribute to excess light
absorption. To improve photosynthetic yields in the marine microalga Picochlorum celeri …

The evolution of novel traits can have important consequences for biological diversification.
Novelties such as new structures are associated with changes in both genotype and …

Light is a crucial element for plant growth and production. High-pressure sodium (HPS)
lamps are considered not very electrically efficient as they generate high radiant heat, and …

Phycocyanin (PC) is a soluble phycobiliprotein found within the light-harvesting
phycobilisome complex of cyanobacteria and red algae, and is considered a high-value …
