Interplay between high-energy quenching and state transitions in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: a single-cell approach

This study uses single-cell analysis to reveal cell-to-cell heterogeneity and a correlation between high-energy quenching and state transitions in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under light stress.

Phytochromes Enable Social Behavior in Marine Diatoms

This study shows that phytochromes in marine diatoms enable light-mediated collective behavior through synchronized cell movements in response to blue or far-red light.

A photoprotection dial maps holistic light-stress response in diatoms

This study uses a photoprotection dial in diatoms to map light-stress responses, showing NPQ influences both short-term photosynthetic adjustments and long-term gene expression changes.

The first photosynthetic mutant in diatoms targets the subunit γ of plastidial ATP synthase and reveals a key role of thylakoid electrochemical proton gradient in photosynthesis regulation and heterotrophic metabolism.

Circadian regulation of key physiological processes by the RITMO1 clock protein in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

This study identifies RITMO1 as a key circadian regulator in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, showing its impact on fluorescence, photosynthesis, and clock-controlled gene expression.
