Halophytes are defined as plants that are adapted to live in soils containing high
concentrations of salt and benefiting from it, and thus represent an ideal model to …

Striving for new solar fuels, the water oxidation reaction currently is considered to be a
bottleneck, hampering progress in the development of applicable technologies for the …

Even though light is the source of energy for photosynthesis, it can also be harmful to plants.
Light-induced damage is targetted mainly to Photosystem II and leads to inactivation of …

Inhibition of the activity of photosystem II (PSII) under strong light is referred to as
photoinhibition. This phenomenon is due to an imbalance between the rate of photodamage …

▪ Abstract The involvement of excited and highly reactive intermediates in oxygenic
photosynthesis poses unique problems for algae and plants in terms of potential oxidative …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are byproducts of aerobic metabolism and potent agents
that cause oxidative damage. In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria …

Photosystem II (PSII) uses light energy to split water into chemical products that power the
planet. The stripped protons contribute to a membrane electrochemical potential before …

When photosynthetic organisms are exposed to abiotic stress, their photosynthetic activity is
significantly depressed. In particular, photosystem II (PSII) in the photosynthetic machinery is …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

A photosynthetic organism is subjected to photo-oxidative stress when more light energy is
absorbed than is used in photosynthesis. In the light, highly reactive singlet oxygen can be …
