Abstract excerpt
KEA3 is a thylakoid membrane localized K+ /H+ antiporter that regulates photosynthesis by modulating two components of proton motive force (pmf), the proton gradient (∆pH) and the electric potential (∆ψ). We identified a mutant allele of KEA3, disturbed proton gradient regulation (dpgr) based on its reduced non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) in artificial (CO2 -free with low O2 ) air. This phenotype was enhanced...
