The significance of cysteine synthesis for acclimation to high light conditions

Situations of excess light intensity are known to result in the emergence of reactive oxygen species that originate from the electron transport chain in chloroplasts. The redox state of glutathione and its biosynthesis contribute importantly to the plant’s response to this stress. In this study we a...
