Photosystem II (PSII) is the water-splitting enzyme complex of photosynthesis and consists of
a large number of protein subunits. Most of these proteins have been structurally and …

In plants, the photosynthetic machinery photosystem II (PSII) consists of a core complex
associated with variable numbers of light-harvesting complexes II (LHCIIs). The …

Photosynthesis is the major natural process that can harvest and harness solar energy into
chemical energy. Photosynthesis is performed by a vast number of organisms from single …

The precise determination of photosynthetic pigment content in green organisms,
chlorophylls (Chls) and carotenoids (Cars), is important to investigate many photosynthetic …

Grana are a characteristic feature of higher plants' thylakoid membranes, consisting of
stacks of appressed membranes enriched in Photosystem II (PSII) and associated light …

Photosynthetic electron transport rates in higher plants and green algae are light-saturated
at approximately one quarter of full sunlight intensity. This is due to the large optical cross …

In plants, the stacking of part of the photosynthetic thylakoid membrane generates two main
subcompartments: the stacked grana core and unstacked stroma lamellae. However, a third …

Plants are sessile organisms and need to acclimate to ever-changing light conditions in
order to survive. These changes trigger a dynamic reorganization of the membrane protein …

Domesticated rice Oryza sativa L. is a major staple food worldwide, and the cereal most
sensitive to salinity. It originated from the wild ancestor Oryza rufipogon Griff., which was …

Although regulatory small RNAs have been reported in photosynthetic cyanobacteria, the
lack of clear RNA chaperones involved in their regulation poses a conundrum. Here, we …
