Photosynthesis and the Environment (Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration, 5)

Photosynthesis And The Environment Examines How Photosynthesis May Be Influenced By Environmental Changes. Structural And Functional Aspects Of The Photosynthetic Apparatus Are Examined In The Context Of Responses To Environmental Stimuli; Particular Attention Being Given To The Processing Of Light Energy By Thylakoids, Metabolic Regulation, Gas Exchange And Source-sink Relations. The Roles Of Developmental And Genetic Responses In Determining Photosynthetic Performance Are Also Considered. The Complexity Of The Responses To Environmental Change Is Demonstrated By Detailed Analyses Of The Effects Of Specific Environmental Variables (light, Temperature, Water, Co[subscript 2], Ozone And Uv-b) On Photosynthetic Performance. Where Appropriate Attention Is Given To Recent Developments In The Techniques Used For Studying Photosynthetic Activities.--book Jacket. The Book Is Intended For Advanced Undergraduate And Graduate Students And A Wide Range Of Scientists With Research Interests In Environmental Effects On Photosynthesis And Plant Productivity.--book Jacket.
