Molecular Evolution and Interaction of Membrane Transport and Photoreception in Plants

Light is a vital regulator that controls physiological and cellular responses to regulate plant growth, development, yield and quality. Light is the driving force for electron and ion transport in the thylakoid membrane and other membranes of plant cells. In different plant species and cell types, light activates photoreceptors thereby modulating plasma membrane transport. Plants maximize their growth and photosynthesis by facilitating the...
