Plants as sessile organisms are continuously exposed to abiotic stress conditions that
impose numerous detrimental effects and cause tremendous loss of yield. Abiotic stresses …

Despite recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of major photosynthetic
complexes, our understanding of light energy conversion in plant chloroplasts and …

Chloroplasts of photosynthetic organisms harness light energy and convert it into chemical
energy. In several land plants, GOLDEN2-LIKE (GLK) transcription factors are required for …

With the completion of the Populus trichocarpa genome sequence and the development of
various genetic, genomic, and biochemical tools, Populus now offers many possibilities to …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is indispensable both for the development and maintenance of life
on earth by converting light energy into chemical energy and by producing molecular …

In order to analyze the molecular mechanisms underlying the responses of plants to different
levels of drought stress, we developed a soil matric potential (SMP)‐based irrigation system …

The heart of oxygenic photosynthesis is the water-splitting photosystem II (PSII), which forms
supercomplexes with a variable amount of peripheral trimeric light-harvesting complexes …

The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …

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

Streptophytes are unique among photosynthetic eukaryotes in having conquered land. As
the ancestors of land plants, streptophyte algae are hypothesized to have possessed …
