Abstract excerpt
The reaction center core of photosystem II is composed of two chlorophyll binding proteins, D1 and D2, that are encoded by the chloroplast genes psbA and psbD. These chlorophyll binding proteins are damaged during photochemistry, especially under high irradiance. Photosystem II function is maintained under these conditions through turnover and resynthesis of D1 and D2. Blue light-activated transcription of psbD...
