Can Parietin Transfer Energy Radiatively to Photosynthetic Pigments?

Can Parietin Transfer Energy Radiatively to Photosynthetic Pigments?

The main role of lichen anthraquinones is in protection against biotic and abiotic stresses, such as UV radiation. These compounds are frequently deposited as crystals outside the fungal hyphae and most of them emit visible fluorescence when excited by UV. We wondered whether the conversion of UV in...
