Encyclopaedia Of Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis and its facts has opened many doors in a variety of disciplines, ranging from biophysics to plant physiology. Progress has been driven by an interdisciplinary approach to this complex, yet fascinating, spectrum of problems, challenges, and opportunities. Photosynthesis is the basis of our food and energy supply, and innovative utilization of solar energy which is likely to be of increasingly critical importance in the future. This, together with novel. uses of photosynthetic principles for other purposes, make it likely that photosynthesis and its applications will help to shape an increasingly broad area of exciting discoveries and innovative ideas, Photosynthesis has been studied in significant detail and photosynthetic systems are used frequently for development and application of advance technologies, as photosynthetic systems are fairly well understood, are complex and often undergo rather unusual biochemical reactions. Encyclopaedia of Photosynthesis comprises of thirty four chapters and appears to biunique in several ways especially by inclusion of a few but imperative new sections. in this Encyclopedia the reader will find the basic and applied aspects of the subject matter supplemented with 'diagrams and tables which make the subject easy to grasp.
