Conformational changes play an important role in the functioning of proteins and their
complexes. This is also true for the pigment-protein super-complex of photosystem II (PSII) …

These special issues of photosynthesis research present papers documenting progress in
revealing the many aspects of photosystem 2, a unique, one-of-a-kind complex system that …

Global warming has far-reaching effects on plant growth and development. As a warm-
season forage grass, Paspalum wettsteinii is highly adaptable to high temperatures …

The high-altitude alpine regions are characterized by highly variable and harsh
environmental conditions. However, relatively little is known about the diverse mechanisms …

The bulbil is the propagative organ of the P. ternata, which has a great effect on the yield of
P. ternata. It is well known that plant hormones play important roles in bulbil formation and …

Cold acclimation (CA) and deacclimation (DA), which are often accompanied by changes in
freezing tolerance (FT), carbohydrates and hormones, are crucial for winter survival …

Light-driven water oxidation in photosynthesis occurs at the oxygen-evolving center (OEC)
of photosystem II (PSII). Chloride ions (Cl−) are essential for oxygen evolution by PSII, and …

Vaccinium darrowii is a subtropical wild blueberry species that has been used to breed
economically important southern highbush cultivars. The adaptive traits of V. darrowii to …

Light is indispensable for plants to photosynthesize organic matters. Almost all the
organisms including animals on our planet eventually rely on this plant function for their …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit membrane protein complex that catalyzes light-driven
oxidation of water to molecular oxygen. The chloride ion (Cl−) has long been known as an …
