A biochemical model of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation in leaves of C3 species

Role of the xanthophyll cycle in photoprotection elucidated by measurements of light-induced absorbance changes, fluorescence and photosynthesis in leaves of Hedera canariensis

CRISPR-Cas Systems in Bacteria and Archaea: Versatile Small RNAs for Adaptive Defense and Regulation

Bacteria and archaea have evolved defense and regulatory mechanisms to cope with various environmental stressors, including virus attack. This arsenal has been expanded by the r...

Quantum Yields for CO₂ Uptake in C₃ and C₄ Plants

The quantum yields of C(3) and C(4) plants from a number of genera and families as well as from ecologically diverse habitats were measured in normal air of 21% O(2) and in 2% O...

MicroRNA control of PHABULOSA in leaf development: importance of pairing to the microRNA 5′ region

Quantum efficiency of Photosystem II in relation to ‘energy’-dependent quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence

Photosynthetic Acclimation to Temperature in the Desert Shrub, <i>Larrea divaricata</i>

The response of photosynthetic electron transport and light-harvesting efficiency to high temperatures was studied in the desert shrub Larrea divaricata Cav. Plants were grown a...
