Light intensity and temperature are primary environmental factors affecting the growth and
development of plants. Changes in their intensity, range and duration can lead to …

Chloroplasts are eukaryotic photosynthetic organelles that drive the global carbon cycle.
Despite their importance, our understanding of their protein composition, function, and …

Microalgal lipids are highly promising feedstocks for biofuel production. Microalgal lipids,
especially triacylglycerol, and practical applications of these compounds have received …

This review focuses on key components of respiratory and photosynthetic energy-
transduction systems: the cytochrome bc 1 and b 6 f (Cyt bc 1/b 6 f) membranous …

The light reactions in photosynthesis drive both linear and cyclic electron transport around
photosystem I (PSI). Linear electron transport generates both ATP and NADPH, whereas PSI …

Photosynthetic organisms and isolated photosystems are of interest for technical
applications. In nature, photosynthetic electron transport has to work efficiently in contrasting …

Oxygenic photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy in the chloroplasts of
plants and microalgae as well as in prokaryotic cyanobacteria using a complex machinery …

Foliar-application of nano-particles enhanced the foliar nutrient status and crop growth and
yield. It is hypothesized that being second messenger molecule, supplementation of Ca 2+ …

The understanding of calcium as a second messenger in plants has been growing
intensively over the last decades. Recently, attention has been drawn to the organelles …
