Global warming has led to increased temperature of the earth which is a major abiotic stress
posing a serious threat to the plants. Photosynthesis is amongst the plant cell functions that …

We have reviewed the current state of multidisciplinary knowledge of the photoprotective
mechanism in the photosystem II antenna underlying non-photochemical chlorophyll …

Even though light is the source of energy for photosynthesis, it can also be harmful to plants.
Light-induced damage is targetted mainly to Photosystem II and leads to inactivation of …

Concepts of the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants and animals have shifted in
recent years from focusing on oxidative damage effects to the current view of ROS as …

Even though light is the ultimate substrate for photosynthetic energy conversion, it can also
harm plants. This toxicity is targeted to the water-splitting photosystem II and leads to …

The emergence and evolution of life on our planet was possible because the sun provides
energy to our biosphere. Indeed, all life forms need energy for existence and proliferation in …

Transient absorption spectroscopy has been used to study the isolated D1/D2/cytochrome b-
559 reaction centre complex at 4° C. The D1/D2 reaction centre is observed to have an …

Both steady-state and time-resolved luminescence measurements at 1270 nm indicate that,
when illuminated, isolated reaction centres of Photosystem II can generate singlet oxygen, O …

Using isolated reaction centres and cores of photosystem I1 (PSII) it has been possible to
elucidate the details of two separate pathways which lead to photoinhibition. The acceptor …

All living organisms contain tetrapyrroles. In plants, chlorophyll (chlorophyll a plus
chlorophyll b) is the most abundant and probably most important tetrapyrrole. It is involved in …
