Allelic chlorina-f2 mutants of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growing under different light and temperature conditions demonstrated that the chlorophyll b-free chlorina-f2f2 and chlorina-f2101 express a ...

Abstract The role of protein phosphorylation for adjusting chloroplast functions to changing environmental needs is well established, whereas calcium signalling in the chloroplast is only recently ...

(This article forms a part of the Science for All newsletter that takes the jargon out of science and puts the fun in! Subscribe now!) Thylakoids are little pouches located in the chloroplasts of ...

A new study conducted by the researchers at the University of Liverpool reveals how the ancient photosynthetic organisms - cyanobacteria - evolve their photosynthetic machinery and organise their ...

In higher plants and green algae, photosystem II (PSII) usually combines with light harvesting complex II (LHCII) to form the PSII-LHCII supercomplex. Under low-light conditions, the PSII-LHCII ...

New insight into photosynthesis could help grow more resilient plants New model helps scientists understand how plants store energy in the thylakoid membrane Date: June 29, 2021 Source: Washington ...

Researchers have uncovered the molecular architecture and organizational landscape of thylakoid membranes from a model cyanobacterium in unprecedented detail. The study could help researchers find new ...

We have a remarkable understanding of the various thylakoid membrane protein complexes which constitute the photosynthetic electron transfer chain of plants. We now need to integrate this knowledge to ...
