Abstract excerpt
PsbT is a small chloroplast-encoded hydrophobic polypeptide associated with the photosystem II (PSII) core complex. A psbT-deficient mutant (Delta psbT) of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii grows photoautotrophically, whereas its growth is significantly impaired in strong light. To understand the photosensitivity of Delta psbT, we have studied the effect of strong illumination on PSII activity and...
