Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

Plants and algae require light for photosynthesis, but absorption of too much light can lead
to photo‐oxidative damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and sustained decreases in the …

The photosynthetic electron transport chain consists of photosystem II, the cytochrome b6f
complex, photosystem I, and the free electron carriers plastoquinone and plastocyanin. Light …

Despite recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of major photosynthetic
complexes, our understanding of light energy conversion in plant chloroplasts and …

Plant photosynthesis performs the remarkable feat of converting light energy into usable
chemical forms, which involves taming highly reactive intermediates without harming plant …

Absorption of light in excess of the capacity for photosynthetic electron transport is damaging
to photosynthetic organisms. Several mechanisms exist to avoid photodamage, which are …

While photosynthesis transforms sunlight energy into sugar, aerobic and anaerobic
respiration (fermentation) catabolizes sugars to fuel cellular activities. These processes take …

Abstract To honor Academician Alexander Abramovitch Krasnovsky, we present here an
educational review on the relation of chlorophyll a fluorescence transient to various …

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of eukaryotic cells. They possess their own gene
expression machineries where highly divergent and specialized ribosomes, named …

Plant photosynthesis channels some of the most highly reactive intermediates in biology, in
a way that captures a large fraction of their energy to power the plant. A viable …
