Despite recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of major photosynthetic
complexes, our understanding of light energy conversion in plant chloroplasts and …

Plants possess acclimation responses in which structural reconfigurations adapt the
photosynthetic apparatus to fluctuating illumination. Long-term acclimation involves changes …

Plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy by photosynthesis. Since they
are sessile, they have to deal with a wide range of conditions in their immediate …

Sunlight, the ultimate energy source for life on our planet, enters the biosphere as a direct
consequence of the evolution of photoautotrophy. Photoautotrophs must balance the light …

It has long been recognized that higher plants vary the composition and organization of the
photosynthetic apparatus in response to the prevailing environmental conditions, with …

In plants and algal cells, changes in light intensity can induce intrachloroplastic and
retrograde regulation of gene expression in response to changes in the plastoquinone redox …

Photosynthesis is central to food production and the Earth's biogeochemistry, yet the
molecular basis for its regulation remains poorly understood. Here, using high-throughput …

The concept of retrograde control of nuclear gene expression assumes the generation of
signals inside the chloroplasts, which are either released from or sensed inside of the …

Understanding of how plants respond to their environment, particularly to extreme conditions
to which their metabolisms are not adapted, is advancing on many fronts. An enormous …

Photoacclimation is a suite of phenotypically expressed, developmentally independent,
reversible physiological feedback responses to short-term (minutes to days) variations in …
