Photosynthetic characterization of flavodoxin-expressing tobacco plants reveals a high light acclimation-like phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Flavodoxins are electron carrier flavoproteins present in bacteria and photosynthetic microorganisms which duplicate the functional properties of iron-sulphur containing ferredoxins and replace them under adverse environmental situations that lead to ferredoxin decline. When expressed in plant chloroplasts, flavodoxin complemented ferredoxin deficiency and improved tolerance to multiple sources of biotic, abiotic...
