Journal ArticleDOI

Algae displaying the diadinoxanthin cycle also possess the violaxanthin cycle

TL;DR: The temporal accumulation of substantial amounts of pigments of the Vx cycle under prolonged high-light stress in several microalgae thought to possess only the Ddx cycle gives experimental support to the long-stated hypothesis that Vx is a common precursor of all carotenoids with an allenic or acetylenic group, including the main light-harvesting carotanoids in most chlorophyll a/c-containing algae.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo ANALYSIS OF SLOW CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE INDUCTION KINETICS IN ALGAE: PROGRESS, PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES

TL;DR: Intensive fluorescence research has been motivated by the apparent advantages of the technique for fluorescent measurement: It is a noninvasive method that yields reproducible results in short time, and it can be applied to all photosynthetic organisms, even if only very small amounts of material are available.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why do thylakoid membranes from higher plants form grana stacks

TL;DR: It is proposed that the membrane stacking found in the chloroplasts of higher plants and green algae is just one way in which Nature implements a general principle, namely that of physically separating a slow (PS II) and a fast (PS I) photosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy dissipation is an essential mechanism to sustain the viability of plants: The physiological limits of improved photosynthesis

TL;DR: Understanding and evaluation for certain energy dissipating processes such as non-photochemical quenching or photorespiration appear in a quite new perspective, especially when discussing strategies to improve the solar energy conversion into plant biomass.
