Authors:
- The book summarises the current knowledge on photoprotection of plants via optical screening of solar radiation in the UV and visible parts of the spectrum by extrathylakoid pigments
- Special attention is paid to the effects of screening pigment accumulation on plant optical properties
- The readers find the summary of key screening pigments, their spectral properties in planta and numerous illustrated cases
Part of the book series: Springer Series in Biophysics (BIOPHYSICS, volume 14)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is well written and clearly structured in seven chapters. … This book is primarily directed at professionals and experts. … due to its textbook-like character, comprehensible style of writing and well designed figures and cartoons, the book can also provide detailed insight into the role of plant screening pigments to advanced students in plant biology.” (Matthias Gilbert, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 167, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
