Photosystem II, a crucial protein complex in photosynthesis, is prone to photodamage, especially under high light conditions. Recent findings reveal that its repair involves both phosphorylation ...

We describe the general background and the recent advances in research on underwater photosynthesis of leaf segments, whole communities, and plant dominated aquatic ecosystems and present contemporary ...

It is a common gut bacteria that never normally sees the light of day, but now Chinese scientists have engineered E coli so that it can harness sunlight like a plant. Incorporating a custom ...

Ironically, receiving too much light can damage photosystem II and erode the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. Purdue University biochemists Steven McKenzie and Sujith Puthiyaveetil have gleaned ...

Below the threshold no assimilation takes place. Thus it seems that only about two-thirds of the atmospheric carbon dioxide is available for photosynthesis”.

On the shelf and upper margin (60-200 m), bottom waters were turbid, indicating a high load of particles. Accordingly, we observed many filter feeders at the seafloor (e.g. crinoids, gorgonians, ...
