The cost of photoinhibition
JA Raven - Physiologia plantarum, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Photoinhibition is an inevitable consequence of oxygenic photosynthesis. However, the
concept of a 'photoinhibition‐proof'plant in which photosystem II (PSII) is immune to …

Crawling leaves: photosynthesis in sacoglossan sea slugs
Some species of sacoglossan sea slugs can maintain functional chloroplasts from specific
algal food sources in the cells of their digestive diverticula. These 'stolen'chloroplasts …

Microscale imaging sheds light on species‐specific strategies for photo‐regulation and photo‐acclimation of microphytobenthic diatoms
Intertidal microphytobenthic (MPB) biofilms are key sites for coastal primary production,
predominantly by pennate diatoms exhibiting photo‐regulation via non‐photochemical …

Growth form defines physiological photoprotective capacity in intertidal benthic diatoms
In intertidal marine sediments, characterized by rapidly fluctuating and often extreme light
conditions, primary production is frequently dominated by diatoms. We performed a …
