principally, oxygenic photosynthesis, any process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and waste oxygen using solar energy.
“Therefore, flooding to a 137-cm depth was detrimental to the growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthate transport of T. domingensis.”
“These plants then had too much photosynthate in relation to the number of seeds, resulting in green stems at harvest time.”
“Others can not grow without the supply of photosynthate from a host either due to very low photosynthetic capacity or the complete inability to photosynthesize.”
“Thus state transitions appear to act as a mechanism to balance excitation of the two photosystems under changing light regimes.”
“Both types of photosystems differ in size, pigment and protein composition, and charge.”
“In higher plant chloroplasts, many pigment-binding proteins are inserted into the thylakoid membrane and organized into multisubunit complexes called photosystems.”
