Linear electron flow (LEF) through PSI also supplies the 'reducing equivalents' required for the conversion of carbon dioxide into sugars. The second mode of photosynthesis involves only ...

The electron transport mechanisms underpinning this process have been the subject of intensive study, revealing a complex interplay between linear and alternative pathways.

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii proton gradient regulation5 (Crpgr5) mutant shows phenotypic and functional traits similar to mutants in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ortholog, Atpgr5, ...

This cyclic flow is not necessary for the linear electron flow that forms part of photosynthesis, so what is it doing?

Plants can switch rapidly between two types of electron transport - linear electron flow (LEF) and cyclic electron flow (CEF) in response to environmental conditions.

This cyclic flow is not necessary for the linear electron flow that forms part of photosynthesis, so what is it doing?

Whereas photosynthetic function under steady-state light conditions has been well characterized, little is known about its changes that occur in response to light fluctuations. Chlororespiration, a ...

By measuring this current, the team was also able to observe the transition between the regime in which electron-electron scattering dominates and that in which the electrons flow ballistically. “As ...
