abstract：:Upon a sudden transition from high to low light, the rate of CO2 assimilation (AN) in some plants first decreases to a low level before gradually becoming stable. However, the underlying mechanisms remain controversial. The activity of chloroplast ATP synthase (gH+) is usually depressed under high light when compared ...
