Abstract:The wavelengths of light harvested in oxygenic photosynthesis are ~400–700 nm. Some cyanobacteria respond to far‐red light exposure via a process called far‐red light photoacclimation which enables absorption of light at wavelengths >700 nm and its use to support photosynthesis. Far‐red‐light‐induced changes include up‐regulation of alternative copies of multiple proteins of Photosystem II (PS II). This includes an alternative copy of the D1 protein, D1FR. Here, we show that D1FR introduced into Synechocyst… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
