Figure 1: A schematic picture of the linear and cyclic electron flow. Figure 2: Characterization of the three strains used in this study. Figure 3: Assessing the variation of the PSI antenna size upon ...

Researchers have purified and visualized the 'Cyclic Electron Flow' (CEF) supercomplex, a critical part of the photosynthetic machinery in all plants, in a discovery that could help guide the ...

When plants absorb excess light energy during photosynthesis, reactive oxygen species are produced, potentially causing oxidative stress that damages important structures. Plants can suppress the ...

Photosynthesis remains one of the fundamental biological processes that sustains life on Earth, converting light energy into chemical energy. The electron transport mechanisms underpinning this ...

Biochemically based models of C3 photosynthesis can be used to predict that when photosynthesis is limited by the amount of Rubisco, increasing atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) will increase ...

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii proton gradient regulation5 (Crpgr5) mutant shows phenotypic and functional traits similar to mutants in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ortholog, Atpgr5, ...

A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and ...

Nonlinear optical dynamics—intensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

Plants are susceptible to stress, and with the global impact of climate change and humanity's growing demand for food, it's crucial to understand what causes plant stress and stress tolerance. When ...
