Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I investigated molecular mechanisms of the protective response against excess light (NPQ) in photosynthetic organisms. Using an unicellular green alga, I succeeded to isolate several photosynthetic supercomplexes, and revealed that those supercomplexes triggered different types of NPQ in the green alga. Considering together with the physiological researches of NPQ, these biochemical results suggest that photoprotective response in photosynthetic organisms is governed by several different molecular NPQ mechanisms.
