Based on extensive epidemiological observation, fruits and vegetables that are a rich source
of carotenoids are thought to provide health benefits by decreasing the risk of various …

Many active organic compounds and organic effect materials are poorly soluble in water, or
even insoluble. Aqueous forms of application thus require special formulation techniques to …

Photosynthesis uses light energy to drive the oxidation of water at an oxygen-evolving
catalytic site within photosystem II (PSII). We report the structure of PSII of the …

Carotenoids are essential for the survival of photosynthetic organisms [1-6]. They act as
protective devices against irreversible photodestruction of the photosynthetic apparatus …

Carotenoids (CARs) are a group of pigments that perform several important physiological
functions in all kingdoms of living organisms. CARs serve as protective agents, which are …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit membrane protein complex performing light-induced
electron transfer and water-splitting reactions, leading to the formation of molecular oxygen …

Our current understanding of the PSII reaction centre owes a great deal to comparisons to
the simpler and better understood, purple bacterial reaction centre. Here we provide an …

Waterlogging occurs because of poor soil drainage and/or excessive rainfall and is a
serious abiotic stress affecting plant growth because of declining oxygen supplied to …

Microgreens are specialty leafy crops harvested just above the roots after the first true leaves
have emerged and are consumed fresh. Broccoli (Brassica oleacea var. italica) microgreens …

Drought is a major limiting factor for crop production. To identify critical genes for drought
resistance in rice (Oryza sativa), we screened T-DNA mutants and identified a drought …
