地球上的大部分生命都依赖于光合作用，这是一个利用电磁太阳能从大气中的二氧化碳和水产生氧气和碳水化合物的过程。在植物和藻类中，光合反应是由一个系统催化的，该系统包括嵌入类囊体膜中的几种蛋白质-色素复合物。这些膜由扁平的囊泡组成，这些囊泡以贴伏膜或单个非贴伏膜的形式存在。在真核生物中，光合复合体的生物发生和活性依赖于核和叶绿体遗传系统的协调作用。光合作用系统的一个显著特征是它能够迅速适应环境线索的变化，例如光。这篇文章提供了一个历史性的轮廓，通过遗传方法获得的一些关键发现，有很大的影响，目前的理解的生物起源和光合机制的动态。在这篇短文中不可能涵盖这一领域的所有重要研究，所选引文反映了我的个人偏见。本文的大部分内容是关于光合膜中初级光反应和电子传递的催化系统。
Much of the life on earth depends on photosynthesis, a process in which electromagnetic solar energy is used to produce oxygen and carbohydrates from atmospheric CO2 and water. In plants and algae, the photosynthetic reactions are catalyzed by a system that includes several protein-pigment complexes embedded in the thylakoid membranes. These membranes consist of flattened vesicles that exist either as appressed or single nonappressed membranes. In eukaryotic organisms, the biogenesis and activity of the photosynthetic complexes depends on the coordinate action of the nuclear and chloroplast genetic systems. A remarkable feature of the photosynthetic system is its ability to adapt rapidly to changes in environmental cues, such as light. This essay provides a historical outline of some of the key findings obtained through genetic approaches that had a strong impact on the current understanding of the biogenesis and dynamics of the photosynthetic machinery. It is not possible to cover all the important studies in this area within this short article, and the citations chosen reflect my personal bias. Most of the article bears on the system that catalyzes the primary light reactions and electron transfer in the photosynthetic membranes.
