Abstract excerpt
Light energy constantly damages photosynthetic apparatuses, ultimately causing impaired growth. Particularly, the sessile nature of higher plants has allowed chloroplasts to develop unique mechanisms to alleviate the irreversible inactivation of photosynthesis. Photosystem II (PSII) is known as a primary target of photodamage. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved the so-called PSII repair cycle, in which a...
