Dear Editor, The physiological functions of carotenoids in plants go beyond their traditional roles as accessory light-har- vesting pigments, natural colorants, and quenchers of tri- plet chlorophyll and singlet oxyg...
Photoacclimation processes are crucial for the survival of all photosynthetic organisms in the photic zone. Changes in photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) are however simultaneous to changes in UV-B radiation. The i...
Photosynthesis rates in phytoplankton depend on light intensity and its spectral composition, however their relation changes with photoacclimation. During the photoacclimation process algal cells optimize their har-ve...
