Abstract

The oxygen evolving mechanism of photosystem 2 is the most sensitive component of photosynthesis to thermal inactivation. Both Cyanobacteria and plants, which have been acclimated show enhanced thermal tolerance. We aim to use a joint proteomic and transcriptomic approach to elucidate the biochemical basis of acclimation and test the critical importance of the factors identified.
