In vitro studies on light-induced inhibition of Photosystem II and D1-protein degradation at low temperatures
TLDR
The results reveal that the Photosystem II electron transport per se is less sensitive to high light at low temperatures in contrast to the overall photosynthetic process, and D1-protein degradation is severely retarded below 7°C.About:

Photoinhibition of photosystem II : inactivation, protein damage and turnover
TL;DR: Various protective mechanisms and an efficient repair cycle of Photosystem II allow plants to survive light stress and probably allows for coordinated biodegradation and biosynthesis of the D1 protein.

Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis in Nature
TL;DR: The author reveals the secrets of the prolific phytoplankton-farming success story, as well as some of the techniques used to achieve this success in the past.

Too much of a good thing: light can be bad for photosynthesis
James Barber,Bertil Andersson +1 more
TL;DR: The plant survives this photoinhibition through an efficient repair system which involves an autoproteolytic activity of the photosystem II complex, D1-polypeptide synthesis and reassembly of active complexes.

CHILLING SENSITIVITY IN PLANTS AND CYANOBACTERIA: The Crucial Contribution of Membrane Lipids
Ikuo Nishida,Norio Murata +1 more
TL;DR: This review covers recent studies on genetic manipulation of acyl-lipid desaturases and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase in transgenic tobacco and cyanobacteria with special emphasis on the crucial importance of the unsaturation of membrane lipids in protecting the photosynthetic machinery from photoinhibition under cold conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of photosynthetic membrane composition and function
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to put the thylakoid membrane into perspective, to address cause and effect relationships between the different phenomena, and also to address potential mechanisms for the regulation of these phenomena at the molecular level.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4
TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.

Cleavage of structural proteins during the assemble of the head of bacterio-phage T4
TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products as mentioned in this paper.

Copper enzymes in isolated chloroplasts. polyphenoloxidase in beta vulgaris
TL;DR: Evidence that a copper enzyme, polyphenoloxidase (otherwise known as tyrosinase or catecholase), is localized in the chloroplasts of spinach beet (chard), Beta vu?garis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis Induced by Visible Light
TL;DR: In this article, a photo-inhibition from exposure to a high PFD without adding additional additional stress is described, which is caused by interaction between light and other environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemistry of Oxidative Stress
TL;DR: Diverse biological processes such as inflammation, carcinogenesis, ageing, radiation damage and photobiological effects appear to involve reactive oxygen species, and oxidative stress denotes a shift in the prooxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of the former.
