In their natural environment plants and algae are exposed to rapidly changing light
conditions and light intensities. Illumination with high light intensities has the potential to …

Besides the so-called 'green lineage'of eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms that include
vascular plants, a huge variety of different algal groups exist that also harvest light by means …

Chlorophyll a-containing plants, algae and cyanobacteria absorb sunlight in order to
perform oxygenic photosynthesis using two sequential photoreactions: Light Reaction II …

Diatoms possess an efficient mechanism to dissipate photons as heat in conditions of
excess light, which is visualized as the Non-Photochemical Quenching of chlorophyll a …

Over the seasons, Arctic diatom species occupy shifting habitats defined by contrasting light
climates, constrained by snow and ice cover dynamics interacting with extreme photoperiod …

Diatoms and brown algae are major contributors to marine primary production. They are
biologically diverse, with thousands of different species, and are extremely successful …

Regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting in the thylakoids is one of the major key factors
affecting the efficiency of photosynthesis. Thylakoid membrane is negatively charged and …

High light (HL) intensities have a significant impact on energy flux and distribution within
photosynthetic apparatus. To understand the effect of high light intensity (HL) on the HL …

Photosynthetic organisms require rapid and reversible down-regulation of light harvesting to
avoid photodamage. Response to unpredictable light fluctuations is achieved by inducing …
