Minor Complexes at Work:Light-Harvesting by Carotenoids in the Photosystem II Antenna Complexes CP24 and CP26 [PDF]
, 2011 Plant photosynthesis relies on the capacity of chlorophylls and carotenoids to absorb light. One of the roles of carotenoids is to harvest green-blue light and transfer the excitation energy to the chlorophylls.

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Mechanism of Fruit Ripening - Chapter 16 [PDF]
, 2010 The fruit ripening process has been viewed over the last decades as being successively of physiological, biochemical, and molecular nature. Fruit ripening is accompanied by a number of biochemical events, including changes in color, sugar, acidity ...

Aggregation Behavior of Xanthophylls
The FASEB Journal, 2010 Aggregation of carotenoids in biological systems influences their properties. The objective of this study is to investigate the extent to which carotenoid aggregation varies as a function of the polarity of the solvent mixture and temperature.

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies
VIEW, EarlyView.We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

A Mechanistic Review of β-Carotene, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin in Eye Health and Disease
Antioxidants, 2020 Carotenoids are natural lipid-soluble antioxidants abundantly found as colorful pigments in fruits and vegetables. At least 600 carotenoids occur naturally, although about 20 of them, including β-carotene, α-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, meso ...

Xanthophyll-cycle of ice algae on the sea ice bottom in Saroma Ko lagoon, Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]
, 2003 Using the ice algal community prevailing on the sea ice bottom in Saroma Ko lagoon, Hokkaido, Japan, the response of a photosynthetic system to exposure to light was investigated, focusing on xanthophylls-cycle features, diel changes of the pool size of ...

Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana for rapid functional analysis of genes involved in non-photochemical quenching and carotenoid biosynthesis. [PDF]
, 2016 Plants must switch rapidly between light harvesting and photoprotection in response to environmental fluctuations in light intensity. This switch can lead to losses in absorbed energy usage, as photoprotective energy dissipation mechanisms can take ...
