Regulation of the photosynthetic apparatus under fluctuating growth light.
Safe and efficient conversion of solar energy to metabolic energy by plants is based on tightly inter-regulated transfer of excitation energy, electrons and protons in the photosynthetic machinery according to the availability of light energy, as well as the needs and restrictions of metabolism itself. Plants have mechanisms to enhance the capture of energy when light is limited for growth and ...
متن کاملGrowth rates of phytoplankton under fluctuating light
1. The effect of light fluctuations on the growth rates of four species of freshwater phytoplankton was investigated. Experimental light regimes included constant irradiance and fluctuations of a step function form, with equal proportion of high (maximum of 240 mmol photons m s) and low light (minimum of 5 mmol photons m s) (or dark) in a period. Fluctuations of 1, 8 and 24-h periods were impos...
متن کاملCompetition of phytoplankton under fluctuating light.
Light is an essential resource for phytoplankton and fluctuates on a wide range of timescales. To understand how light fluctuations affect phytoplankton community structure and diversity, we have studied a set of simple models using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. Light fluctuations can affect community structure when species exhibit the gleaner-opportunist trade-off betwe...
متن کاملIon antiport accelerates photosynthetic acclimation in fluctuating light environments
Many photosynthetic organisms globally, including crops, forests and algae, must grow in environments where the availability of light energy fluctuates dramatically. How photosynthesis maintains high efficiency despite such fluctuations in its energy source remains poorly understood. Here we show that Arabidopsis thaliana K(+) efflux antiporter (KEA3) is critical for high photosynthetic efficie...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic Apparatus and High Temperature: Role of Light
The rate of oxygen evolution/consumption, in vivo electron transport activity, overall photosynthetic capacity and accumulation of the chloroplast 30 kDa heat shock proteins were studied after treatment of intact barley seedlings at 40oC for 3 hours either in presence of low white light (100 μmol m–2.s–1) or in the dark. High temperature impact in the dark resulted in lowering of water-splittin...
