Analysis of state 1—state 2 transitions by genome editing and complementation reveals a quenching component independent from the formation of PSI-LHCI-LHCII supercomplex in Arabidopsis thaliana

Biology Direct, 2023
Background The light-harvesting antennae of photosystem (PS) I and PSII are pigment-protein complexes responsible of the initial steps of sunlight conversion into chemical energy.

Preparation of Photo-Bioelectrochemical Cells With the RC-LH Complex From Roseiflexus castenholzii

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Roseiflexus castenholzii is an ancient green non-sulfur bacteria that absorbs the solar energy through bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) bound in the only light harvesting (LH) complex, and transfers to the reaction center (RC), wherein primary charge ...

Structural insights into photosystem II supercomplex and trimeric FCP antennae of a centric diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana

Nature Communications, 2023
Diatoms are dominant marine algae and contribute around a quarter of global primary productivity, the success of which is largely attributed to their photosynthetic capacity aided by specific fucoxanthin chlorophyll-binding proteins (FCPs) to enhance the

Interaction of Light Intensity and CO2 Concentration Alters Biomass Partitioning in Chrysanthemum

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2021
Biomass partitioning is one of the pivotal determinants of crop growth management, which is influenced by environmental cues. Light and CO2 are the main drivers of photosynthesis and biomass production in plants. In this study, the effects of CO2 levels:

Transcriptomic analysis of OsRUS1 overexpression rice lines with rapid and dynamic leaf rolling morphology

Scientific Reports, 2022
Moderate leaf rolling helps to form the ideotype of rice. In this study, six independent OsRUS1-GFP overexpression (OsRUS1-OX) transgenic rice lines with rapid and dynamic leaf rolling phenotype in response to sunlight were constructed.
