The chloroplast organelle in mesophyll cells of higher plants represents a sunlight‐driven
metabolic factory that eventually fuels life on our planet. Knowledge of the ultrastructure and …

Diatoms are the world's most diverse group of algae, comprising at least 100,000 species.
Contributing~ 20% of annual global carbon fixation, they underpin major aquatic food webs …

The structural response of photosystem II (PSII) and its light-harvesting proteins (LHCII) in
Arabidopis thaliana after long-term acclimation to either high or low light intensity was …

The machinery that conducts the light-driven reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis is hosted
within specialized paired membranes called thylakoids. In higher plants, the thylakoids are …

One of the major factors limiting biomass productivity in algae is the low thermodynamic
efficiency of photosynthesis. The greatest thermodynamic inefficiencies in photosynthesis …

Green plant photosystem II (PSII) is involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis, which
take place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. PSII is organized into large …

The light-harvesting and energy-transducing functions of the chloroplast are performed
within an intricate lamellar system of membranes, called thylakoid membranes, which are …

Unavoidable side reactions of photosynthetic energy conversion can damage the water-
splitting photosystem II (PSII) holocomplex embedded in the thylakoid membrane system …

The survival and fitness of photosynthetic organisms is critically dependent on the flexible
response of the photosynthetic machinery, harbored in thylakoid membranes, to …

The photosystems (PS), catalyzing the photosynthetic reactions of higher plants, are
unevenly distributed in the thylakoid membrane: PSII, together with its light harvesting …
