Siegfried >Plant Biology at UIUC >zig at  Bryan-- No references
to suggest...but a plant with naked reaction centers would have
a "unique" and quite narrow action spectrum.  The "capture
antennae" are there specifically to cause a broadly tuned action
spectrum.   |     In person:  Steve Modena     AB4EL
