Nocturnal hydration prepares desert cyanobacteria for dawn-light harvesting by inducing phycoerythrin synthesis
Summary
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 15, April 2026. SignificanceDesert cyanobacteria exhibit remarkable resilience under extreme aridity, where the overlap between photosynthetically active radiation and hydration is restricted to a narrow temporal window around dawn. Chromatic acclimation promotes the ...
