Photosynthesis: A Comprehensive Treatise
Photosynthesis is the focus of a vast body of research, spanning studies of femtosecond reactions at the molecular level through to field studies requiring a whole season of observation. This is the first advanced-level treatment that covers the broad range of the topic within a single volume, thus constituting a uniquely comprehensive, authoritative and self-contained sourcebook. Compiled by an international team of experts, the volume considers the cell and molecular biology of chloroplasts...
