Abstract excerpt
To avoid photodamage of photosystem I under fluctuating light, plants have evolved multiple photoprotective mechanisms. One key mechanism is photosynthetic control, in which acidification of the thylakoid lumen downregulates electron transport through the cytochrome b6f complex, thereby preventing overreduction of photosystem I. The Arabidopsis proton gradient regulation 5 (pgr5) mutant, which is defective in...
