Embodiments of the present invention provide for a transgenic plan, methods of making and DNA contracts for use in the transgenic plant which transgenic plant is capable of modulating its photosynthetic antenna complex composition in response to increases or decreases in light intensity by modulation of the ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b such that there is an increase in the Chi a/b ratio at high light intensity and a decrease in the Chi a/b ratio at low light intensity versus wild-type plants grown in the same conditions.
