Photosynthetic organisms have developed numerous strategies to adapt their photosynthetic apparatus to changing light conditions in order to optimise their photosynthetic yield, which is crucial for life on Earth to exist. Photosynthetic acclimation is an excellent example of the complexity of biological systems, where highly diverse processes, ranging from electron excitation over protein protonation to enzymatic processes coupling ion gradients with biosynthetic activity, interact on drastically different timescales from picoseconds to hours. Efficient functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus and its protection is paramount for efficient downstream processes, including metabolism and growth. Modern experimental techniques can be successfully integrated with theoretical and mathematical models to promote our understanding of underlying mechanisms and principles. This review aims to provide a retrospective analysis of multidisciplinary photosynthetic acclimation research carried out by members of the Marie Curie Initial Training Project, AccliPhot, placing the results in a wider context. The review also highlights the applicability of photosynthetic organisms for industry, particularly with regards to the cultivation of microalgae. It intends to demonstrate how theoretical concepts can successfully complement experimental studies broadening our knowledge of common principles in acclimation processes in photosynthetic organisms, as well as in the field of applied microalgal biotechnology.</p> Acclimation European Training Network PhD training Biodiversity Interdisciplinary training Mathematical modelling Microalgal cultivation Non-photochemical quenching Photosynthetic optimisation Dewey 580 45 Département des sciences végétales 163 false Journal of experimental botany 68 11 99219a26-0eba-48d9-a070-214804ce4c12 Article (Published version) Restricted Article_scientifique_from_crossref.pdf 1830666 application/pdf 9bb3552e222f7f5fc910e04dba7bc706dcb99c18c89fa200ef0ca99d92766084 restrictedAccess Faculté des sciences / Section de biologie / Département des sciences végétales
