Thylakoid membrane stacking controls electron transport mode during the dark-to-light transition by adjusting the distances between PSI and PSII

The balance between linear electron transport (LET) and cyclic electron transport (CET) plays an essential role in plant adaptation and protection against photo-induced damage. This balance is largely maintain...
