In nature, plants are exposed to continuous changes in the environment. To ensure their growth and survival, plants have evolved intrincate molecular machinery that allows rapid adjustments in cellular functions in response ...

Oxygenic photosynthesis is sunlight-energized conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates using electrons extracted from water. It occurs in cyanobacteria and in their endosymbiotic evolutionary descendants, the chloroplasts ...

Microalgae have been under investigation as alternatives for wastewater treatment for the last 60 years. However, we are yet to see an algal based process to be trusted as a treatment strategy on a large scale. At present, ...

Boreal evergreen conifers are important for Northern countries and have functioned for centuries as main drivers of the economy. Nowadays, the attention has shifted to the sustainability of the boreal forests, their ...

Mycotoxin contamination in food is a serious concern for human and animal health. Today, we do not know how to detoxify food materials that are contaminated with mycotoxins in ways that retain their edibility. Therefore, ...

Plants regulate their responses to changing environmental conditions to cope with stresses and survive under natural growth habitats. Growth and stress responses must be strictly balanced to prevent poor survival and ...

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins such as phosphorylation have been shown to play pivotal roles in the regulation of photosynthesis. However, the study of these small modifications has long been hindered ...

Photosynthetic light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes, where lightdriven electron transfer occurs from water to carbon dioxide through two photosystems (PSII and PSI), between of which is an electron-transferring ...

Cyanobacteria perform oxygenic photosynthesis to fulfill their energy needs in highly dynamic environmental conditions. This requires tight regulation of photosynthetic light reactions for maintenance and optimization of ...

There is an increasing global need for developing new sustainable alternatives and technological solutions for replacing oil‐based products currently in use. In response to this demand, photosynthetic cyanobacteria have ...
