One of the grand challenges in modern agriculture is increasing biomass production, while
improving plant product quality, in a sustainable way. Of the minerals, iron (Fe) plays a major …

Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into biomass and oxygen.
When in excess, light can be dangerous for the photosynthetic apparatus because it can …

During plant photosynthesis, photosystems I (PSI) and II (PSII), located in the thylakoid
membranes of the chloroplast, use light energy to mobilize electron transport. Different …

In plants and algae, light serves both as the energy source for photosynthesis and a
biological signal that triggers cellular responses via specific sensory photoreceptors. Red …

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 …

Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms experience strong fluctuations in light intensity in their
natural terrestrial and aquatic growth environments. Recent studies with both plants and …

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 …

Iron is essential for all life, but it is particularly important to photoautotrophs because of the
many iron-dependent electron transport components in photosynthetic membranes. Since …

In photosynthesis, electron transfer along the photosynthetic chain results in a vectorial
transfer of protons from the stroma to the lumenal space of the thylakoids. This promotes the …

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated process in photoautotrophic cells. The main goal of the
regulation is to keep the basic photosynthetic reactions, ie capturing light energy, conversion …
