Plant Photochemistry, Reactive Oxygen Species, and Photoprotection

Abstract

Light energy, absorbed as photons by chlorophylls and other pigment molecules consisting of light-harvesting complexes (LHCs), is transferred to the reaction centres (RCs), where, through charge separation, electrons flow from photosystem II (PSII) through cytochrome b6f and diffusible electron carriers to photosystem I (PSI) [...]
