Regulation of photosynthetic electron transport

Investigations in this thesis aimed to understand the mechanisms that regulate the photosynthetic electron transport chain in C3 plants and therefore also the significance of cyclic electron flow (CEF). Physiological analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana photosynthetic pgr5 mutant, which had previously b...
