Light is an important factor for determining photosynthetic performance in land plants. At high light intensity, land plants develop photosynthetic activity by increasing electron sinks, such as the Calvin cycle and photorespiration and photoprotective ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants can express considerable plasticity in leaf functional traits, but that plasticity may be constrained by coordination and trade‐offs among multiple functions.

Photoinhibition Resistance in the Red Alga Porphyra perforata [PDF]
Photoinhibition resistance exhibited by the high intertidal red alga Porphyra perforata relative to its subtidal congener Porphyra nereocystis was examined using the protein synthesis inhibitor chloramphenicol to separate the damage and repair components of photoinhibition.

The photosynthetic sensitivity to high light differs among understory plants of shade- and sun- established tree species. Shade-established tree species are sensitive to high light but the underlying photosynthetic mechanism has not been fully resolved ...

The pairwise interaction Gibbs process provides a way to quantify the relative importance of the underlying ecological drivers via a static snapshot of plants' spatial pattern. Our approach may enhance our understanding of mixed‐species forests around the world and may also be applied in other mapped plots with over about 100 plants.

Abstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Ecophysiological study of green microalgae isolated from the grit crust of the Atacama Desert
Abstract Terrestrial algae play a critical, yet often overlooked, role in the functioning of biological soil crusts (biocrusts), which are considered microecosystems, particularly in extreme environments. This study investigated the ecophysiological traits of green algae isolated from the grit crust—a unique biocrust type reported a few years ago in ...

Functional divergence of LhcSR and PsbS in zeaxanthin‐mediated non‐photochemical quenching
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 ...
