The light-harvesting reactions of photosynthesis take place on the thylakoid membrane
inside chloroplasts. The thylakoid membrane is folded into appressed membranes, the …

Thylakoid membranes in land plant chloroplasts are organized into appressed and
nonappressed membranes, which contribute to the control of energy distribution between …

The extended superfamily of chlorophyll a/b binding proteins comprises the Light-Harvesting
Complex Proteins (LHCs), the Early Light-Induced Proteins (ELIPs) and the Photosystem II …

Thylakoid membrane protein quality control (PQC), which requires the coordination of
membrane protein translocation and degradation of unassembled proteins, determines …

The thylakoid membrane network inside chloroplasts harbours the protein complexes that
are necessary for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Cellular processes for …

The light reactions of photosynthesis are hosted and regulated by the chloroplast thylakoid
membrane (TM)—the central structural component of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants …

Introduction Low light stress inhibits plant growth due to a line of physiological disruptions in
plants, and is one of the major barriers to protected cucumber cultivation in northern China …

Establishment of the seedlings is a crucial stage of the plant life cycle. The success of this
process is essential for the growth of the mature plant. In Nature, when seeds germinate …

Large GTPases of the Dynamin Related Proteins (DRP) family shape lipid bilayers through
membrane fission or fusion processes. Despite the highly organized photosynthetic …

In most eukaryotes, organellar genomes are transmitted preferentially by the mother, but
molecular mechanisms and evolutionary forces underlying this fundamental biological …
