Assessing modulation of stromal and thylakoid light-harvesting complex-II phosphatase activities with phosphopeptide substrates.

abstract：:Tropical plants are sensitive to chilling temperatures above zero but it is still unclear whether photosystem I (PSI) or photosystem II (PSII) of tropical plants is mainly affected by chilling temperatures. In this study, the effect of 4 degrees C associated with various light densities on PSII and PSI was studied in ...
