The structure of intact and active Photosystem II from Arabidopsis thaliana at 2.44 Å resolution
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3014-3025, June 2026.Summary Photosystem II (PS II) is a large membrane‐bound protein complex that catalyses light‐driven water oxidation in plants and cyanobacteria. The structure of PS II is well studied in cyanobacteria; however, there are very few PS II structures from plants.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3230-3246, June 2026.Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Functional divergence of LhcSR and PsbS in zeaxanthin‐mediated non‐photochemical quenching
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3042-3052, June 2026.Summary To protect photosystem II from excess light, non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LhcSR in algae and PsbS in vascular plants, and the light‐regulated xanthophyll cycle, which interconverts violaxanthin and zeaxanthin through the opposite activities of violaxanthin de‐epoxidase and ...

European Eating Disorders Review, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 743-748, May 2026.ABSTRACT Objective Dancers are at an increased risk of developing eating disorders and health issues. The aim of this case‐control study was to compare dietary intake, anthropometric indices and eating attitudes of adult professional dancers to their age‐ and sex‐matched non‐dancer females.

Metabolic Reprogramming Analysis of Wheat Response to Low Temperature Stress Under Nitrogen Supply
Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Low temperature stress triggers a defense network that maintains growth at the expense of inhibiting photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis. Temperature recovery effectively repairs low temperature‐induced damage and enhances stress resistance, while nitrogen supply can further augment these protective processes to strengthen cold tolerance ...
