The growth of plants, algae and cyanobacteria relies on the catalytic activity of the oxygen-
evolving photosystem two (PSII) complex which uses solar energy to extract electrons from …

Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is a unique phospholipid class with its indispensable role in
photosynthesis and growth in land plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. PG is the only major …

Plant cell membranes are the sites of sensing and initiation of rapid responses to changing
environmental factors including salinity stress. Understanding the mechanisms involved in …

The effects of exogenous melatonin on postharvest ripening of mango (Mangifera indica L.
cv. Keitt) were investigated after the fruit were dipped in 0 (as the control), 100, or 200 μM …

Arsenic (As) pollution is a serious concern worldwide. Recent studies under environmentally
relevant conditions revealed that, in the aquatic plant Ceratophyllum demersum, pigments …

Changes in the canopy microclimate in intercropping systems, particularly in the light
environment, have important effects on the physiological characteristics of photosynthesis …

Biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus requires complicated molecular machinery,
individual components of which are either poorly characterized or unknown. The BtpA …

Dark-germinated angiosperm seedlings develop chloroplast precursors called etioplasts in
cotyledon cells. Etioplasts develop lattice membrane structures called prolamellar bodies …

The thylakoid membrane is the site of photochemical and electron transport reactions of
oxygenic photosynthesis. The lipid composition of the thylakoid membrane, with two …

Cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 represents a favored model organism for
photosynthetic studies. Its easy transformability allowed construction of a vast number of …
