Photosynthesis Research Protocols
Photosynthesis and Its Significance
Photosynthesis is one of the most important biological phenomena on earth. The conversion of sunlight by photosynthetic organisms supplies most of the energy required to develop and sustain life on the planet. Photosynthesis is not only at the heart of plant bioenergetics, it is also fundamental to plant productivity and biomass.
Environmental Impact and Research
Photosynthetic carbon fixation and oxygen evolution directly intervene in many environmental aspects, including the global atmospheric CO2 level and global climate. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large effort is devoted to photosynthesis research.
Methods and Applications
Several biochemical methods of isolation, treatment, and analysis have been developed to fulfill the needs of photosynthesis research. Photosynthesis Research Protocols contains a broad range of general and fundamental methods that are commonly used by plant biochemists, physiologists, and molecular biologists.
Target Audience
This book is thus intended as a source of information for scientists working on any of the multiple aspects of photosynthesis, and should be of great interest to a multidisciplinary field of research involving agriculture, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cell biology, environmental sciences, forestry, plant genetics, plant molecular biology, photobiology, photophysics, photoprotection, plant physiology, plant stress, etc.
