PLANTS AND ALGAE CAPABLE OF MODULATING ANTENNA SIZE BASED ON LIGHT INTENSITY

摘要

Methods, and compositions for modulating the PSII peripheral antenna size of photosynthetic organisms by negatively regulating the expression of chlorophyll a oxygenase (CAO) to high light intensity. Transgenic photosynthetic organisms that are capable of modulating their PSII peripheral antenna size as a function of light intensity, and exhibit enhanced photosynthetic productivity, and methods for their use.
