Photosynthesis in Action: Harvesting Light, Generating Electrons, Fixing Carbon

Description

Photosynthesis in Action examines the molecular mechanisms, adaptations and improvements of photosynthesis. With a strong focus on the latest research and advances, the book also analyzes the impact the process has on the biosphere and the effect of global climate change. Fundamental topics such as harvesting light, the transport of electronics and fixing carbon are discussed. The book also reviews the latest research on how abiotic stresses affect these key processes as well as how to improve each of them. This title explains how the process is flexible in adaptations and how it can be engineered to be made more effective. End users will be able to see the significance and potential of the processes of photosynthesis. Edited by renowned experts with leading contributors, this is an essential read for students and researchers interested in photosynthesis, plant science, plant physiology and climate change. Provides essential information on the complex sequence of photosynthetic energy transduction and carbon fixation Covers fundamental concepts and the latest advances in research, as well as real-world case studies Offers the mechanisms of the main steps of photosynthesis together with how to make improvements in these steps Edited by renowned experts in the field Presents a user-friendly layout, with templated elements throughout to highlight key learnings in each chapter
