At the heart of photosynthesis, photosystems I and II hold a special place, not just in plant biology, but also as the source of oxygen for all aerobic life. Therefore, researchers were not surprised ...

Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

Photosynthesis remains one of the fundamental biological processes that sustains life on Earth, converting light energy into chemical energy. The electron transport mechanisms underpinning this ...
