There has been significant recent interest in the commercial utilisation of algae based on
their valuable chemical constituents many of which exhibit multiple bioactivities with …

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 health of freshwater and marine ecosystems is critical to life on Earth. The impact of
solar UV-B radiation is one potential stress factor that can have a negative impact on the …

In this article, we show by mesocosm experiments that winter and spring warming will lead
to substantial changes in the spring bloom of phytoplankton. The timing of the spring bloom …

Light is an essential source of energy for life on Earth and is one of the most important
signals that organisms use to obtain information from the surrounding environment, on land …

The substantial loss in the stratospheric ozone layer and consequent increase in solar
ultraviolet radiation on the earth's surface have augmented the interest in searching for …

Abstract The Southern Ocean (SO) is a major sink for anthropogenic atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO 2), potentially harbouring even greater potential for additional sequestration of …

Prolonged exposure of plants to high fluxes of solar radiation as well as to other
environmental stressors disturbs the balance between absorbed light energy and capacity of …

During the last years significant progress was achieved in unraveling molecular
characteristics of the thylakoid membrane of different diatoms. With the present review it is …

Xanthophyll cycle‐related nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), which is present in most
photoautotrophs, allows dissipation of excess light energy. Xanthophyll cycle‐related NPQ …
