Chlorophyll a£ uorescence induction (FI) is now a widespread method used in
photosynthesis research. This is because FI is non-invasive and highly sensitive, fast and …

The fast (up to 1 s) chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence induction (FI) curve, measured under
saturating continuous light, has a photochemical phase, the O–J rise, related mainly to the …

We present a methodology, called fast repetition rate (FRR) fluorescence, that measures the
functional absorption cross-section (σPS II) of Photosystem II (PS II), energy transfer …

Biogenesis of photosystem II (PSII), nature's water-splitting catalyst, is assisted by auxiliary
proteins that form transient complexes with PSII components to facilitate stepwise assembly …

This review summarizes our current state of knowledge on the structural organization and
functional pattern of photosynthetic water splitting in the multimeric Photosystem II (PS II) …

Upon illumination, a dark-adapted photosynthetic sample shows time-dependent changes in
chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence yield, known as the Kautsky phenomenon or the OIDPS …

The midpoint potential (E m) of QA/QA−•, the one-electron acceptor quinone of Photosystem
II (PSII), provides the thermodynamic reference for calibrating PSII bioenergetics …

This review is dedicated to David Walker (1928–2012), a pioneer in the field of
photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence. We begin this review by presenting the history …

In photosynthesis, cyanobacteria, algae and plants fix carbon dioxide (CO2) into
carbohydrates; this is necessary to support life on Earth. Over 50years ago, Otto Heinrich …

Irradiation of etiolated leaves leads to their greening. Although this problem has a long
history, the question of whether the intermittent irradiation (IMI) grown plants have fully …
