Résumé

Quite naturally, photosynthesis has achieved massive amounts of attention in recent years. Aside from being the most spectacular physiological process in plant growth, it is actually the key to our dealing with the potentially cataclysmic accumulation of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere.

With the second edition of the Handbook of Photosynthesis, Mohammad Pessarakli once again fills the need for an authoritative and balanced resource by assembling a team of experts from across the globe. Together, they have created a comprehensive reference that includes important background information, as well as the most recent research findings on photosynthesis, all under one cover.

Completely Revised with Several New Chapters

Relates photosynthesis to plant production and crop yields
Presents the plant genetic factors affecting photosynthesis
Examines mathematical models and response functions of photosynthesis
Analyzes the spatial and temporal relationships between respiration and photosynthesis

The handbook, a completely updated reworking of the critically acclaimed first edition, details all of the photosynthetic factors and processes under both normal and stressful conditions, covering lower and higher plants, as well as related biochemistry and plant molecular biology.

Divided into fourteen sections for ease of reference, with nearly 8000 bibliographic citations, the handbook contains authoritative contributions from over 80 scientists, and includes approximately 500 drawings, photographs, tables, and equations- all designed to reinforce and clarify important text material.
