Abstract

Photosystem II in green plant chloroplasts displays heterogeneity both in the composition of its light-harvesting antenna and in the ability to reduce the plastoquinone pool. These two features are discussed in terms of chloroplast development and in view of a proposed photosystem II repair cycle.
