A study was made of photoinhibition of spinach chloroplast reactions. The kinetics and spectral characteristics of the photoinhibition over a range between 230 and 700 mμ have been examined. The ...
Ultraviolet light inhibits the photoreduction of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate with water as the electron donor (evolution of oxygen) but not the ...
Experimental seedlings in the laboratory. UC Davis plant biologists have discovered how chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis in green plants, also play a key role in plant immunity to ...
Optimal packing problems have inspired mathematicians for centuries. Biophysicists now add a layer to the question: How do chloroplasts arrange themselves optimally within cells, when the meaning of ...
Redox regulation in chloroplasts is a fundamental process that ensures the optimal performance of photosynthesis through the reversible modification of key enzymes. Central to this mechanism is the ...
