This study examines the effects of strigolactone mutants in Sorghum bicolor on ecophysiology and symbioses, revealing trade-offs in parasitic plant resistance and mycorrhizal interactions.

This study shows that ppGpp over-accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana increases tolerance to excess light through physiological changes, not NPQ.

This study identifies a unique Lhce light-harvesting complex in Euglena gracilis that dynamically associates with PSII and expands PSI light harvesting, revealing an alternative strategy for light acclimation in secondary plastids.

This study characterizes Photosystem I in a red-shifted Acaryochloris marina strain, revealing structural and spectroscopic mechanisms for far-red light absorption and the role of PsaX2 in enabling these adaptations.

This study examines how blue light influences the photosynthetic apparatus of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica across different depths, identifying a novel PSI-LHCII supercomplex and depth-dependent structural adaptations.
