Oxygenic photosynthesis is the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on Earth.
Cyanobacteria and plants provide the oxygen, food, fuel, fibers, and platform chemicals for …

The term 'photosynthetic control'describes the short-and long-term mechanisms that regulate
reactions in the photosynthetic electron transport (PET) chain so that the rate of production of …

Four elaborate membrane complexes carry out the light reaction of oxygenic photosynthesis.
Photosystem I (PSI) is one of two large reaction centres responsible for converting light …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that impairs plant growth and development. Despite this, a
comprehensive understanding of drought effects on the photosynthetic apparatus is lacking …

This review focuses on the light-harvesting properties of photosystem I (PSI) and its LHCI
outer antenna. LHCI consists of different chlorophyll a/b binding proteins called Lhca's …

State transitions are an important photosynthetic short-term response that allows energy
distribution balancing between photosystems I (PSI) and II (PSII). In plants when PSII is …

Photosystem I functions as a sunlight energy converter, catalyzing one of the initial steps in
driving oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants. Functionally …

Plants and green algae optimize photosynthesis in changing light conditions by balancing
the amount of light absorbed by photosystems I and II. These photosystems work in series to …

Plants and cyanobacteria use the chlorophylls embedded in their photosystems to absorb
photons and perform charge separation, the first step of converting solar energy to chemical …

Plants are designed to utilize visible light for photosynthesis. Expanding this light absorption
toward the far-red could boost growth in low-light conditions and potentially increase crop …
