Topics covered include:
  • Carotenoid and regulation of light harvesting
  • Chloroplast protein kinase
  • Light stress
  • Organization of thylakoid proteins
  • Photo-inhibition
  • Photo-protection
  • Photosystem I - crystal structure
  • Photosystem II - core phosphorylation
  • Photosystem II - light-harvesting antenna
  • Photosystem II - repair
  • Plant antenna protein
  • Proteases in chloroplasts
  • Quenching
