About
The meeting explores how diverse molecular architectures and regulatory mechanisms allow plants, algae and bacteria to photosynthesize under different light, temperature, water and nutrient conditions. Sessions address light harvesting, photoprotection, electron transport and the organization of photosynthetic complexes in living cells.
Genetics, structural methods, multidimensional spectroscopy and computational models will connect molecular variation with physiological function. Natural diversity is examined as a source of mechanistic insight and potential strategies for improving crop and algal resilience. Attendance applications are reviewed and capacity may fill before the application deadline.
