VARIOUS ASPECTS OF INHIBITION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS UNDER LIGHT CHILLING STRESS - PHOTOINHIBITION AT CHILLING TEMPERATURES VERSUS CHILLING DAMAGE IN THE LIGHT/

At chilling temperatures, plants suffer damage to photosynthesis. The sites and the mechanisms involved in this damage differ under differen t chilling conditions. The current status of our understanding of this damage is reviewed, and how chilling temperatures affect photosynthes is is discussed with emphasis on the role of light and the phase separ ation of membrane lipids.
