BACKGROUND The harvesting of photons is the first step in photosynthesis, the biological
process that transforms solar energy into chemical energy. The photosynthetic membranes …

Oxygenic photosynthesis, the process that converts light energy into chemical energy, is
traditionally associated with the absorption of visible light by chlorophyll molecules …

The mechanisms underlying the wavelength dependence of the quantum yield for CO2
fixation (α) and its acclimation to the growth-light spectrum are quantitatively addressed …

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 …

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 (PSI) is a multisubunit protein complex located in the thylakoid membranes of
green plants and algae, where it initiates one of the first steps of solar energy conversion by …

In this work, we have investigated the role of the individual antenna complexes and of the
low-energy forms in excitation energy transfer and trap** in Photosystem I of higher …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is driven by photosystems I (PSI) and II (PSII). In plants the number
of chlorophylls of PSI versus PSII is adjusted to the light irradiance spectrum. On a timescale …
