Effects of changing light conditions on the ecophysiological condition behind survival were examined on beech from two different populations. Plants were grown in a greenhouse under simulated understorey and canopy gap light conditions.... more
In this study, we have compared photosynthetic performance of barley leaves (Hordeum vulgare L.) grown under sun and shade light regimes during their entire growth period, under field conditions. Analyses were based on measurements of... more
1. Climate change is altering temperatures and precipitation patterns all over the world. Melting glaciers increase surface run-off, thereby increasing the transport of suspended solids through streams. The increased load of suspended... more
The structure and function of photosystem II (PSII) is highly susceptible to photooxidative damage, which is induced by high fluence or fluctuating light. However, many of the mechanistic details of how PSII homeostasis is maintained... more
We studied the effects of elevated CO2 concentrations (0.03% vs. 0.1%) on light absorption, membrane permeability, growth, and carbon fixation under photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposures in... more
The chloroplastic glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) activity was previously shown to be the limiting step of photorespiratory pathway. In our experiment, we examined the photosynthetic high-light responses of the GS2-mutant of barley... more
High-light illumination of photosynthetic organisms stimulates the production of singlet oxygen by photosystem II (PSII) and causes photo-oxidative stress. In the PSII reaction centre, singlet oxygen is generated by the interaction of... more
Australian rainforests extend from tropical climates in the north to temperate climates in the south, thus providing an opportunity to investigate the physiological responses to temperature of temperate and tropical species within the... more
