Ultrafast spectroscopy reveals singlet fission, ionization and excimer formation in perylene film
Scientific Reports, 2021 Singlet exciton fission (SF) is a spin-allowed process whereby two triplet excitons are created from one singlet exciton. This phenomenon can offset UV photon energy losses and enhance the overall efficiency in photovoltaic devices.

Understanding plant responses to drought: how important is woody tissue photosynthesis? [PDF]
, 2013 Within trees, it is known that a part of the respired CO2 is assimilated in chlorophyll-containing stem and branch tissues. However, the role of this woody tissue photosynthesis in tree functioning remains unclear, in particular under drought stress ...

Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2009 C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

Changes in oak (Quercus robur) photosynthesis after winter moth (Operophtera brumata) herbivory are not explained by changes in chemical or structural leaf traits [PDF]
, 2020 Insect herbivores have the potential to change both physical and chemical traits of their host plant. Although the impacts of herbivores on their hosts have been widely studied, experiments assessing changes in multiple leaf traits or functions ...

Interaction of two photoreceptors in the regulation of bacterial photosynthesis genes [PDF]
, 2012 The expression of photosynthesis genes in the facultatively photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is controlled by the oxygen tension and by light quantity. Two photoreceptor proteins, AppA and CryB, have been identified in the past, which are
