Figure 1From: Structural and functional alterations in photosynthetic apparatus of plants under cadmium stressAn overview of effects of Cd exposure to plants at different levels in photosynthetic machinery. (a) Cd uptake in cells through plasma membrane transporters. (b) Alteration in organisation of oxygen evolving and light harvesting complexes, Cd also binds with QB pocket thus slows down electron flow from QA to QB.(c) Incorporation of Cd in chlorophyll molecule.Back to article page
