Photosynthetic characteristics of Pinaceae: From evolution to environmental acclimation
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-06-29)
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 ...
Photoprotective auxiliary electron transport pathways in cyanobacteria
(Turun yliopisto, 2017-09-08)
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 ...
On singlet oxygen, photoinhibition, plastoquinone, and their interconnections
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-12-18)
In oxygenic photosynthesis light is captured in series by two protein complexes: photosystem II and photosystem I (PSI and PSII). Electron transfer from PSII to PSI is mediated by the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. Despite being ...
Wastewater treatment with algae
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-06-16)
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, ...
The biological role of omega subunit of cyanobacterial RNA polymerase
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-08-18)
ABSTRACT
Cyanobacteria are important primary producers performing oxygenic photosynthesis using CO2 or HCO3- as a carbon source. Active adjustment of gene expression according to environmental cues depends on the RNA ...
Photoprotection and genetic autonomy of plastids in photosynthetic sea slugs
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-03-11)
Certain sea slugs “steal” the photosynthetic cellular organelles, the plastids, from their prey algae and incorporate them, still functional, inside their own cells. These animals can then remain photosynthetic for months. ...
Light-acclimation and regulation of photosynthesis in autotrophic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-09-15)
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 ...
Chloroplast protein acetyltransferases – novel players in the regulation of photosynthesis
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-08-11)
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 ...
Diversity in phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane proteins in chloroplasts
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-04-09)
Photosynthesis is the most fundamental process for life on Earth. Sunlight is highly variable and fluctuates both in intensity and duration, which induces short and longterm responses in photosynthetic organisms. Photosynthetic ...
