Abstract excerpt
In addition to the photosynthetic linear electron transport, several alternative electron transport routes exist in thylakoids of higher plants. The plastoquinone (PQ) pool acts as a common electron carrier in these pathways. In the cyclic electron flow around photosystem I (PSI), reduced ferredoxin is used by the ferredoxin-quinone reductase (FQR) to reduce the PQ pool. Chlororespiratory pathway consists in the...
