Article Abstract
This review addresses photosynthetic control as a protective mechanism that prevents photoinhibition of photosystem I under conditions of imbalance between CO assimilation during the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle and light reactions in the thylakoid photosynthetic apparatus. We discuss the pathways of photosystem I photoinhibition and describe protective mechanisms that prevent photodamage of photosystem I. We propose a hypothesis regarding the influence of photosynthetic control on formation of reactive oxygen species in photosystem I. pH-sensitivity of plastoquinol oxidation at the quinol-oxidizing (Qo) site of the cytochrome complex is analyzed, and function of two proton-conducting channels that release protons into the thylakoid lumen from the cytochrome complex is described. We examine impact of photosynthetic control on the functioning of the cytochrome complex itself, and propose a hypothesis regarding the preferential activation of photosynthetic control in the thylakoid grana, which ensures operation of the cyclic electron transport around photosystem I as a main protective mechanism.

Environmental sustainability is seriously threatened by the discharge of wastewater containing hazardous heavy metals (such as Cr, Cd, As, Hg, etc.). The utilization of microalgae has recently come to light as a viable, environmentally acceptable method for removing heavy metals from contaminated sites.

Heavy metal (HM) co-contamination is prevalent in the aquatic ecosystems and often induces complex combined effects such as synergism or antagonism, bioconcentration and biomagnification on the food-chain organisms, which is threatening the survival of living creatures and even to human health. However, the combined effects of HMs under combined exposure on the aquatic food chains still remain poorly understood. Therefore, toxic responses, bioconcentration and biomagnification of four typical HMs, lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn), were systematically investigated under different combined exposure conditions.

The structural specificity of organic nitrogen sources in modulating cyanobacterial physiology and toxin production remains poorly understood. This study systematically evaluated the bioavailability of exogenous glycine peptides in Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) and their regulatory roles in algal growth and microcystins (MCs) synthesis through an integrated physiological and transcriptomic approach.

Shade stress alters soybean growth through transcriptomic changes and adaptive responses that optimize light capture and utilization, regulated by a phytohormonal network. This study examined the physiological, morphological, and molecular responses of Guru (shade-tolerant) and Heinong 53 (shade-sensitive) soybean cultivars under 0% (control), 30%, and 70% shade. Results revealed morphological responses where Heinong 53 exhibited greater plant height (52.

Climate change is leading to increases in extreme weather events, notably increasing both droughts and floods, which undermine food security. Although each stress individually has been well studied, little is known about the response of cereals to successive water stresses, condition that often occurs in real-world scenarios. To address this gap, we have compared physiological responses of wheat and barley cultivars to cycles of drought and flooding.
