| Main scientific achievements | Structural and molecular organization, orientation and regulation principals of formation of chloroplast thylakoid membranes and pigment-protein complexes were studied in higher plants (mainly in wheat). Orientation of photosynthetic pigments relative to the thylakoid membrane plane has been established and for the first time a topographical model of pigment-protein complexes in chloroplast membranes has been proposed for spinach plants. Principals of the formation of pigment-protein complexes in photosynthetic membranes of etiolated wheat plants were determined at different light regimes (continuous and non-continuous) and structural and stabilizing roles of carotenoids in these processes were revealed. It was shown that apoproteins of these complexes assembled in monomeric form in plastides during illumination and then these monomeric forms were agregated forming oligomers. Effects of different environmental stress factors (drought, salinity, radiation etc.) on plants and changes of photosynthetic apparatus during adaptation of plants to extremal conditions were studied. | |
