Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, superoxide (O2●−) and hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) are the markers of living cells. Oxygenic photosynthesis produces ROS in …

Hydrogen gas is thought to be the ideal fuel for a world in which air pollution has been
alleviated, global warming has been arrested, and the environment has been protected in …

Iron is the quantitatively most important trace metal involved in thylakoid reactions of all
oxygenic organisms since linear (= non-cyclic) electron flow from H 2 O to NADP+ involves …

Cyclic electron flow is increasingly recognized as being essential in plant growth, generating
a pH gradient across thylakoid membrane (ΔpH) that contributes to ATP synthesis and …

Recent studies have provided new insights into the ways that plants may dissipate excess
photons and electrons, thereby protecting the photosynthetic apparatus against light …

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 …

The xanthophyll cycle represents one of the important photoprotection mechanisms in plant
cells. In the present review, we summarize current knowledge about the violaxanthin cycle of …

The light reactions in photosynthesis convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of
ATP and drive the production of NADPH from NADP+. The reactions involve two types of …

Extensive effort is being made to explore renewable energy in replacing fossil fuels.
Biohydrogen is a promising future fuel because of its clean and high energy content. A …

Abstract Photosystems I and II (PSI and II) are reaction centres that capture light energy in
order to drive oxygenic photosynthesis; however, they can only do so by interacting with the …
