The plastoquinone pool, poised for cyclic electron flow? [PDF]
Electron and proton transfer plays a central role in coupling light capture to the chemical reactions of carbon metabolism. Electrons, originating from charge separation in the photosystems, are eventually transferred to NADP+ to form NADPH; it is denoted as linear electron flow (LEF).

Activation of cyclic electron flow by hydrogen peroxide in vivo. [PDF]
Significance Cyclic electron flow around photosystem I (CEF) is critical for balancing the energy budget of photosynthesis, but its regulation is not well understood. Our results provide evidence that hydrogen peroxide, which is produced as a result of imbalances in chloroplast redox state, acts as a signaling agent to activate CEF in higher ...

Cyclic Electron Flow around Photosystem I Promotes ATP Synthesis Possibly Helping the Rapid Repair of Photodamaged Photosystem II at Low Light [PDF]
In higher plants, moderate photoinhibition of photosystem II (PSII) leads to a stimulation of cyclic electron flow (CEF) at low light, which is accompanied by an increase in the P700 oxidation ratio.

Tomato and mini-cucumber tolerance to photoperiodic injury involves photorespiration and the engagement of nighttime cyclic electron flow from dynamic LEDs [PDF]
Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is critical for achieving year-round food security in many regions of the world. CEA is a resource-intensive endeavor, with lighting consuming a large fraction of the energy.

The labile interactions of cyclic electron flow effector proteins. [PDF]
The supramolecular organization of membrane proteins (MPs) is sensitive to environmental changes in photosynthetic organisms. Isolation of MP supercomplexes from the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which are believed to contribute to cyclic electron flow (CEF) between the cytochrome b6f complex (Cyt-b6f) and photosystem I (PSI), proved difficult.

The Effects of Cold Stress on Photosynthesis in Hibiscus Plants. [PDF]
The present work studies the effects of cold on photosynthesis, as well as the involvement in the chilling stress of chlororespiratory enzymes and ferredoxin-mediated cyclic electron flow, in illuminated plants of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.

Photoprotective roles of ascorbate and cstyleZostera marinacstyle
The oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Zostera marina is prone to deactivation under visible light, which results in a formation of the long-lived radical P680+. The mechanism to prevent damage caused by P680+ remains unclear.
