We review the mechanism underlying nonphotochemical chlorophyll fluorescence
quenching (NPQ) and its role in protecting plants against photoinhibition. This review …

Photosynthetic organisms are crucial for life on Earth as they provide food and oxygen and
are at the basis of most energy resources. They have a large variety of light-harvesting …

Photosynthetic pigments are bioactive compounds of great importance for the food,
cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. They are not only responsible for capturing solar …

In their natural environment plants and algae are exposed to rapidly changing light
conditions and light intensities. Illumination with high light intensities has the potential to …

Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into biomass and oxygen.
When in excess, light can be dangerous for the photosynthetic apparatus because it can …

Photosystem II (PSII) of photosynthesis catalyzes one of the most challenging reactions in
nature, the light driven oxidation of water and release of molecular oxygen. PSII couples the …

The importance of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) for human health
has received more focus the last decades, and the global consumption of n-3 LC-PUFA has …

Diatoms are the world's most diverse group of algae, comprising at least 100,000 species.
Contributing~ 20% of annual global carbon fixation, they underpin major aquatic food webs …

Light is an essential source of energy for life on Earth and is one of the most important
signals that organisms use to obtain information from the surrounding environment, on land …

Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate
energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and …
