Cytochrome cM decreases photosynthesis under photomixotrophy in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [PDF]

, 2020
Photomixotrophy is a metabolic state that enables photosynthetic microorganisms to simultaneously perform photosynthesis and metabolism of imported organic carbon substrates.

Entropy and biological systems: experimentally-investigated entropy-driven stacking of plant photosynthetic membranes [PDF]

, 2014
According to the Second Law of thermodynamics, an overall increase of entropy contributes to the driving force for any physicochemical process, but entropy has seldom been investigated in biological systems.

Arabidopsis EGY1 Is Critical for Chloroplast Development in Leaf Epidermal Guard Cells

Plants, 2021
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the Ethylene-dependent Gravitropism-deficient and Yellow-green 1 (EGY1) gene encodes a thylakoid membrane-localized protease involved in chloroplast development in leaf mesophyll cells. Recently, EGY1 was also found to be crucial

FZL, a dynamin-like protein localized to curved grana edges, is required for efficient photosynthetic electron transfer in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Photosynthetic electron transfer and its regulation processes take place on thylakoid membranes, and the thylakoid of vascular plants exhibits particularly intricate structure consisting of stacked grana and flat stroma lamellae. It is known that several

The DnaJ-like zinc finger domain protein PSA2 affects light acclimation and chloroplast development in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The biosynthesis of chlorophylls and carotenoids and the assembly of thylakoid membranes are critical for the photoautotrophic growth of plants. Different factors are involved in these two processes.

The journey of preproteins across the chloroplast membrane systems

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The photosynthetic capacity of chloroplasts is vital for autotrophic growth in algae and plants. The origin of the chloroplast has been explained by the endosymbiotic theory that proposes the engulfment of a cyanobacterium by an ancestral eukaryotic cell

Biogenesis of thylakoid membranes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2015
Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and function, much remains to be learned about how the machinery is put together.

Models and measurements of energy-dependent quenching. [PDF]

, 2013
Energy-dependent quenching (qE) in photosystem II (PSII) is a pH-dependent response that enables plants to regulate light harvesting in response to rapid fluctuations in light intensity.

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]

, 1980
Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process.
