An integrated analysis of molecular acclimation to high light in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum.

Photosynthetic diatoms are exposed to rapid and unpredictable changes in irradiance and spectral quality, and must be able to acclimate their light harvesting systems to varying light conditions. Molecular mechanisms behind light acclimation in diatoms are largely unknown. We set out to investigate...
