Scientists have discovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism in plant photosynthesis in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It helps plants adapt to changes in light conditions. The results, published in the journal Nature Plants, show how a crucial protein interaction at the interface between photosystems I and II controls the photosynthetic machinery.<\/p>\n
