Characterization of singlet oxygen-accumulating mutants isolated in a screen for altered oxidative stress response in <it>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>When photosynthetic organisms are exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as high light intensities or cold stress, the production of reactive oxygen species like singlet oxygen is stimulated in the chloroplast. In <it>C...
