Photosynthesis is the biological process that feeds the biosphere with reduced carbon. The
assimilation of CO 2 requires the fine tuning of two co-existing functional modes: linear …

The chloroplast‐based photosynthetic apparatus of plants and algae associates various redox
cofactors and pigments with∼ 70 polypeptides to form five major transmembrane protein …

Adaptation of photosynthesis in marine environment has been examined in two strains of
the green, picoeukaryote Ostreococcus: OTH95, a surface/high-light strain, and RCC809, a …

Despite recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of major photosynthetic
complexes, our understanding of light energy conversion in plant chloroplasts and microalgae …

Dark-grown Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultures that were illuminated at low fluence rates
before exposure to highlight conditions exhibited a faster rate of recovery from photoinhibition …

We performed a systematic investigation of the quantitative relationship between genome
copy number, transcription, transcript abundance and synthesis of photosynthetic proteins in …

Absorption of light in excess of the capacity for photosynthetic electron transport is damaging
to photosynthetic organisms. Several mechanisms exist to avoid photodamage, which are …

By homology with the unique plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) found in plants, two genes
encoding oxidases have been found in the Chlamydomonas genome, PTOX1 and PTOX2. …

Plastids have retained from their cyanobacterial ancestor a fragment of the respiratory electron
chain comprising an NADPH dehydrogenase and a diiron oxidase, which sustain the so-…

Though numerous pieces of evidence point to major physiological roles for anion channels
in plants, progress in the understanding of their biological functions is limited by the small …
