Predicted heat stress and electron transport block mechanism. Predicted analysis of irreversible inhibition of photosynthesis during heat stress and the protein-protein interplay that negatively affects the electron flow. (a) In normal condition, there is normal electron flow and no reduction in carbon fixation. (b) Due to heat stress effect, all key proteins that mediate electron flow are downregulated and block the electron flow, and as a result downregulation of ATP synthase reduces the production of ATP and as a result carbon fixation process slows down.
