Abstract

Chlorophylls and carotenoids are components of every pigment-protein complex in the photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants. They function in light harvesting, photoprotection, and down-regulation of PSII photochemistry. In the following we summarize the present knowledge on the localization and function of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids within the photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants. This subject was previously reviewed (Bassi et al. 1990, Jansson 1994, Jennings et al. 1995)
