| Abstract | The light reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membranes, flattened vesicles, which contain the two photosystems and also embed the cytochrome b6f complex and the ATP synthase. In general, the thylakoid membranes are assembled into multilamellar membrane systems, which warrant an optimal light capturing efficiency. In nature, they show astounding variations, primarily due to large variations in their protein composition, which is controlled by multilevel regulatory mechanisms during long-term acclimation and short-term adaptation processes and also influenced by biotic or abiotic stresses - indicating a substantial degree of flexibility in the membrane ultrastructure. The better understanding of the dynamic features of this membrane system requires the use of non-invasive techniques, such as small angle neutron scattering (SANS), which is capable of providing accurate, statistically and spatially averaged information on the repeat distances of periodically organized thylakoid membranes under physiologically relevant conditions with time resolutions of seconds and minutes. In this review, after a short section on the basic properties of neutrons, we outline the fundamental principles of SANS measurements, its strengths and weaknesses in comparison to complementary structure investigation techniques. Then we overview recent results on isolated plant thylakoid membranes, and on living cyanobacterial and algal cells as well as on whole leaves. Special attention is paid to light-induced reversible ultrastructural changes in vivo, which, in cyanobacterial and diatom cells, were uncovered with the aid of SANS measurements; we also discuss the role of membrane reorganizations in light adaptation and photoprotection mechanisms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
