Revealing Missing Links in the Downsizing of the Photosystem II Antenna in Higher Plants Under Stress Conditions [PDF]
AntioxidantsChloroplast-to-nucleus ROS retrograde signaling is essential for acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to environmental stresses. One of the key mechanisms is the regulation of the photosystem II antenna size depending on light conditions and other

Advances in the Understanding of the Lifecycle of Photosystem II
Microorganisms, 2022 Photosystem II is a light-driven water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase present in cyanobacteria, algae and plants. It produces molecular oxygen and protons to drive ATP synthesis, fueling life on Earth.

Quality control of photosystem II: lipid peroxidation accelerates photoinhibition under excessive illumination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Environmental stresses lower the efficiency of photosynthesis and sometimes cause irreversible damage to plant functions. When spinach thylakoids and Photosystem II membranes were illuminated with excessive visible light (100-1,000 µmol photons m(-1) s ...

Function of Redox-Active Tyrosine in Photosystem II [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 Water oxidation at photosystem II Mn-cluster is mediated by the redox-active tyrosine Y(Z). We calculated the redox potential (E(m)) of Y(Z) and its symmetrical counterpart Y(D), by solving the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation. The calculated E(m)(Y( )/Y(-)) were +926 mV/+694 mV for Y(Z)/Y(D) with the Mn-cluster in S2 state.

Induction of photosystem II activity in flashed leaves [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1972 The formation of photosynthetically functioning, normal chloroplasts in higher plants by exposure of etiolated leaves to light is well documented: morphologically [9] , physiologically [lo] , and biochemically [4, 15, 161, A net oxygen production was generally reported after several (2-4) hr of continuous illumination [ 171.
