The proteins encoded by psaA and psaB form a heterodimer, an essential compound of photosystem; while the protein encoded by psbC binds with chlorophyll a in photosystem II, serving as antennae in photosystem. Here we report that a heterocyclic brominated flame retardant, tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) isocyanurate (TBC), inhibited the expression of psaA and psbC, then leads to the decrease of Nannoch...

Photosensing performance of a system composed of photosystem I (PSI), vitamin K(1) (VK(1))-like molecular wire, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in an aqueous solution was increased considerably by the addition of double surfactants, hexylamine and dodecylbenzenesulfonate.

high temperature, high radiance, low vapor pressure, and lack of precipitation in most months characterize arid ecosystems. under these conditions, tree crops such as pistachio suffer from drought combined with salinity stress. in order to investigation effects of combined salinity and drought stress on function of photosynthetic apparatus, mutica pistachio (pistacia mutica) seedlings were subj...

The pigment and acyl lipid composition ofphotochemically active stroma lamellae and inside-out photosystem II vesicles have been investigated. Mechanical disruption followed by phase partitioning in an aqueous two phase system resulted in a clean separation of the photosystems. A qualitative and quantitative determination of the pigment content was achieved using reversed-phase high performance...

Marine Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are picocyanobacteria predominating in subtropical, oligotrophic marine environments, a niche predicted to expand with climate change. When grown under common low light conditions Synechococcus WH 8102 and Prochlorococcus MED 4 show similar Cytochrome b6f and Photosystem I contents normalized to Photosystem II content, while Prochlorococcus MIT 9313 has ...

The two primary sites of herbicide action in photosynthetic electron transport are the inhibition of photosystem II (PS II) electron transport and diversion of electron flow through photosystem I (PS I). PS II electron transport inhibitors bind to the DI protein of the PS II reaction center, thus blocking electron transfer to plastoquinone. Inhibition of PS II electron transport prevents the co...

In China's industrialization process, the effective regulation of energy and environment can promote the positive externality of energy consumption while reducing negative externality, which is an important means for realizing the sustainable development of an economic society. The study puts forward an improved technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution based on entropy ...

background: medical shoes are a solution for the construction and performance related to foot problems. people with healthy feet do not require medical shoes. shoes have different designs and heights and are probably produced with different materials depending on the nature of the required correction. ordering medical shoes, like medicine, is personal for each individual. however, today many co...

introduction: cardiac complications, including heart failure, are the most important secondary ones of the thalassemia major disease, which manifests itself in adolescence and early adulthood. appropriate, low cost diagnostic tools available as well as knowing its related factors are the most important components of therapy in these patients, given the importance of these complications, or by e...
