Oxygen is a natural acceptor of electrons in the respiratory pathway of aerobic organisms
and in many other biochemical reactions. Aerobic metabolism is always associated with the …

Light intensity and temperature are primary environmental factors affecting the growth and
development of plants. Changes in their intensity, range and duration can lead to …

This review focuses on key components of respiratory and photosynthetic energy-
transduction systems: the cytochrome bc 1 and b 6 f (Cyt bc 1/b 6 f) membranous …

Plants are simultaneously exposed to abiotic and biotic hazards. Here, we show that local
and systemic acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves in response to excess excitation …

Different redox-active compounds, such as ascorbate, glutathione, NAD (P) H and proteins
from the thioredoxin superfamily, contribute to the general redox homeostasis in the plant …

We investigate the physiological responses and antibiotic-uptake capacity of Lemna minor
exposed to ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) induced toxic effects and hormesis in plants …

We studied the physiological mechanisms involved in the deleterious effects of a glyphosate-
based herbicide (Factor® 540) on photosynthesis and related physiological processes of …

Although light is essential for photosynthesis, excess light can damage the photosynthetic
apparatus and deregulate other cellular processes. Thus, protective integrated regulatory …

The plastoquinone (PQ) pool of the photosynthetic electron transport chain becomes
reduced under anaerobic conditions. Here, anaerobiosis was used as a tool to manipulate …

Green organisms evolve oxygen (O2) via photosynthesis and consume it by respiration.
Generally, net O2 consumption only becomes dominant when photosynthesis is suppressed …
