Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, superoxide (O2●−) and hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) are the markers of living cells. Oxygenic photosynthesis produces ROS in …

Light is essential for photosynthesis. Nevertheless, its intensity widely changes depending
on time of day, weather, season, and localization of individual leaves within canopies. This …

Plants and algae require light for photosynthesis, but absorption of too much light can lead
to photo‐oxidative damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and sustained decreases in the …

The photosynthetic electron flux from photosystem I (PSI) is mainly directed to NADP+ and
CO2 fixation, but a fraction is always shared between alternative and cyclic electron …

Cyanobacteria have evolved elaborate electron transport pathways to carry out
photosynthesis and respiration, and to dissipate excess energy in order to limit cellular …

In response to a sudden increase in light intensity, plants must cope with absorbed excess
photon energy to protect photosystems from photodamage. Under fluctuating light, PSI is …

Cyanobacteria and microalgae perform oxygenic photosynthesis where light energy is
harnessed to split water into oxygen and protons. This process releases electrons that are …

Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms experience strong fluctuations in light intensity in their
natural terrestrial and aquatic growth environments. Recent studies with both plants and …

Photosynthetic electron transport is coupled to proton translocation across the thylakoid
membrane, resulting in the formation of a trans-thylakoid proton gradient (ΔpH) and …

In photosynthesis, linear electron transport from water to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
phosphate (NADP+) cannot satisfy the ATP/NADPH production stoichiometry required by the …
