The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-
absorbing molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent …

Light is essential for photosynthesis. Nevertheless, its intensity widely changes depending
on time of day, weather, season, and localization of individual leaves within canopies. This …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is indispensable for photosynthesis. In association with Chl-binding
proteins (CBPs), it is responsible for light absorption, excitation energy transfer, and charge …

Photosynthesis is one of the most important processes that supplies the energy required for
the survival of all living things. The initial process is the absorption of sunlight by a …

Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into biomass and oxygen.
When in excess, light can be dangerous for the photosynthetic apparatus because it can …

Barcoded mutant libraries are a powerful tool for elucidating gene function in microbes,
particularly when screened in multiple growth conditions. Here, we screened a pooled …

Pigment-protein and pigment-pigment interactions are of fundamental importance to the light-
harvesting and photoprotective functions essential to oxygenic photosynthesis. The orange …

Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll fluorescence is a valuable feature for
the study of photosynthetic organisms' light utilization and dissipation. However, all too often …

The emergence of chlorophyll-containing light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) was a crucial
milestone in the evolution of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. Light-harvesting …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multi-component pigment-protein complex that is responsible for
water splitting, oxygen evolution, and plastoquinone reduction. Components of PSII can be …
