Photosystem (PS) II is a multisubunit thylakoid membrane pigment–protein complex
responsible for light-driven oxidation of water and reduction of plastoquinone. Currently …

The light reactions of photosynthesis in green plants are mediated by four large protein
complexes, embedded in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. Photosystem I (PSI) …

During photosynthesis, the plant photosystem II core complex receives excitation energy
from the peripheral light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). The pathways along which excitation …

In this review we focus on photosynthetic behavior of overwintering evergreens with an
emphasis on both the acclimative responses of photosynthesis to cold and the winter …

The nucleotide sequence of Korean ginseng (Panax schinseng Nees) chloroplast genome
has been completed (AY582139). The circular double-stranded DNA, which consists of …

Chloroplast research takes significant advantage of genomics and genome sequencing, and
a new picture is emerging of how the chloroplast functions and communicates with other …

Oxygenic photosynthesis produces various radicals and active oxygen species with harmful
effects on photosystem II (PSII). Such photodamage occurs at all light intensities. Damaged …

▪ Abstract Plastids of higher plants are semi-autonomous organelles with a small, highly
polyploid genome and their own transcription-translation machinery. This review provides …

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular eukaryotic alga possessing a single chloroplast
that is widely used as a model system for the study of photosynthetic processes. This report …

An extensive analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana peripheral and integral thylakoid
membrane proteome was performed by sequential extractions with salt, detergent, and …
