About this book
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 prod- tivity and biomass. Photosynthetic carbon fixation and oxygen evolution - rectly intervene in many environmental, including the global atmospheric CO 2 level and global climate. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large effort is devoted to photosynthesis research. 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 me- ods that are commonly used by plant biochemists, physiologists, and mole- lar biologists. 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 agric- ture, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cell biology, environmental s- ences, forestry, plant genetics, plant molecular biology, photobiology, photophysics, photoprotection, plant physiology, plant stress, etc.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book series is well known as a competent tool for research protocols in all fields of life science. … The book addresses either beginners in photosynthesis research or experienced researchers who want to extend their methodological experience. … I can recommend the book as basic literature for advanced courses in photosynthesis. … In conclusion, this is an excellent book which can be recommended for all laboratories involved in photosynthesis education and research." (Christian Wilhelm, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 162 (6), 2005)
