Correlated influence of cation concentration and excitation intensity on PS II activity-I. Influence of high salt concentration on spinach chloroplast activity.

abstract：:There is diverse, yet controversial fossil evidence for the existence of photosynthesis 3500 million years ago. Among the most persuasive evidence is the stromatolites described from low grade metasedimentary rocks in Western Australia and South Africa. Based on the understanding of the paleobiology of stromatolites a...
