TL;DR: Previous two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy investigations of the FMO bacteriochlorophyll complex are extended, and direct evidence is obtained for remarkably long-lived electronic quantum coherence playing an important part in energy transfer processes within this system is obtained.
Book
Molecular mechanisms of photosynthesis
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the organization and structure of Photosynthetic Systems, as well as the history and development of Photosynthesis, and the origins and evolution of photosynthesis.

TL;DR: This comparison reveals genomic changes concomitant with the evolutionary movement to land, including a general increase in gene family complexity; loss of genes associated with aquatic environments; acquisition of genes for tolerating terrestrial stresses; and the development of the auxin and abscisic acid signaling pathways for coordinating multicellular growth and dehydration response.
