Title:
PLANTS AND ALGAE CAPABLE OF MODULATING ANTENNA SIZE BASED ON LIGHT INTENSITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/016267
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
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.
