Overview

Photosynthesis is one of the most active areas of plant science research. Advances in molecular biology technology have profoundly affected the work in this area and have opened up the possibility of manipulating the genes involved in photosynthesis. The field is expanding, and this book provides a compilation of authoritative reviews covering a variety of important issues. This book is intended for post-graduates, post-doctoral researchers, and academic staff in the general area of (plant) molecular genetics.

Reviews

'This well-produced volume brings together aspects of research from the prokaryote, algal and higher plant fields to provide a valuable introduction for those new to this area of research. Graduate students should benefit enormously from reading a volume of this type to gain a wider perspective of their field; the authoritative and informed reviews give a sound historical perspective as well as looking forward to the important questions remaining to be addressed...this volume should prove a valuable addition not only to institutional libraries but also, by virtue of its economical pricing, onto students' bookshelves.' * Julie Lloyd, SGM Quarterly, August, 1998. * This interesting book provides and up-to-date introduction into most aspects of the complexity and diversity of the genetic regulation of the photosynthetic processes in pro- and eukaryotes ... the book is of great value for plant scientists and researches in photosynthesis. * Hartmut Lichtenthaler, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 151, 1997 * An important source for plant biochemists, plant cell and molecular biologists. * Aslib Book Guide, vol.62, no.7, July 1997 *
