Oxygenic photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy via electron transport and assimilates CO 2 in the Calvin–Benson cycle with the chemical energy. Thus, high light and low CO 2 conditions induce the accumulation of electrons in the photosynthetic electron transport system, resulting...
