Abstract excerpt
In addition to linear electron transport from water to NADP(+) , alternative electron transport pathways are believed to regulate photosynthesis. In the two routes of photosystem I (PSI) cyclic electron transport, electrons are recycled from the stromal reducing pool to plastoquinone (PQ), generating additional ΔpH (proton gradient across thylakoid membranes). Plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) accepts electrons...
