Photosynthesis: Metabolism, Control and Physiology Book

Photosynthesis provides food and, ultimately, energy for all living organisms. Recognized as a key process in balancing carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the atmosphere, it also plays a major role in global climate change. This new, fully updated edition continues to provide a clear summary of photosynthesis and an introduction to the vast scientific literature on this vital topic. The coverage is comprehensive, from atomic and molecular processes to plant production and yield. "Photosynthesis" has been completely revised to take into account recent advances in important areas of research, including the molecular basis of photosynthesis and the effects of environmental change. The comprehensive coverage makes this book an excellent text for all students and others taking courses on plant biochemistry, plant physiology or photosynthesis. Students on environmental studies courses will welcome the emphasis on environmental concerns.Read More
