Chloroplast Methyltransferase Homolog RMT2 is Involved in Photosystem I Biogenesis

The paper identifies RMT2 as a chloroplast methyltransferase homolog involved in photosystem I biogenesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii through a high-throughput O2 sensitivity screen.

Reversible restriction of electron flow across cytochrome b6f in dark acclimated cells limited for downstream electron sinks

This paper identifies a reversible restriction of electron flow at the cytochrome b6f complex in dark-acclimated Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells under nitrogen limitation, preventing photodamage to photosystems.

Chlamydomonas Mutants Null for Chloroplast Triose Phosphate Transporter3 are Metabolically Compromised and Light Sensitive

This study identifies CreTPT3 as a critical chloroplast transporter in Chlamydomonas, showing its role in metabolite transport, oxidative stress prevention, and subfunctionalization with CreTPT2.

Transcriptional regulation of photoprotection in dark-to-light transition - more than just a matter of excess light energy

The paper investigates how light intensity, quality, and CO2 levels regulate photoprotective gene expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii during dark-to-light transitions.

Photoprotection is regulated by light-independent CO2 availability

This study shows that CO2 availability, not light, directly regulates photoprotection and the CO2 concentrating mechanism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, with light indirectly influencing these processes by altering CO2 levels.
