Photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis research [PDF]
Since the emergence of modern science, photosynthesis has been the focus of interest of many researchers because of its importance for all forms of life on this planet. In particular, remarkable progress has been made during the last two decades.

Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]
Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Changes in oak (Quercus robur) photosynthesis after winter moth (Operophtera brumata) herbivory are not explained by changes in chemical or structural leaf traits [PDF]
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 ...

Models of Photosynthesis [PDF]
Our model of photosynthesis (8) published some 20 years ago in Planta has had an impact and seen application that far exceeded our expectations. Perhaps it is useful to reflect on what this model did and why we published it.

Interaction of two photoreceptors in the regulation of bacterial photosynthesis genes [PDF]
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

Hydrogen Sulfide: A Key Role in Autophagy Regulation from Plants to Mammalians
Autophagy is a degradative conserved process in eukaryotes to recycle unwanted cellular protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Autophagy plays an important role under normal physiological conditions in multiple biological processes, but it is induced

Climate and Yield in a closed greenhouse [PDF]
The so-called closed greenhouse (closed ventilation windows) is a recent innovation in Dutch greenhouse industry. The technical concept consists of a heat pump, underground (aquifer) seasonal energy storage as well as daytime storage, air treatment units
