Table of Contents

Part 1 Chloroplast genome: the chloroplast genome - genetic potential and its expression. Part 2 Photosystems: photosystem I reaction centre in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms - current views and the future; oxidation of wate to molecular oxygen; stoichometry of proton uptake by thylakoids during electron transport in chloroplasts. Part 3 Coordination and regulation: regulation of the 32 kD-D1 photosystem II reaction centre protein; regulation of electron transport at the acceptor side of photosystem II by herbicides, bicarbonate and formate; photosynthesis and Herbicides - effects of pyridazinones on chloroplast function and biogenesis; interactions between electron transport and carbon assimilation in leaves - coordination of activities and control; leaf senescence-induced alterations in structure and function of higher plant chloroplasts; maximizing light interception - the role of chloroplast disposition in cells and thylakoid membrane architecture. Part 4 Carbon assimilation and partitioning: structure, function and regulation of ribulose; 1,5-Bisphosphate carboxylase in higher plants; C4 photosynthesis and C3-C4 intermediacy - adaptive strategies for semiarid tropics; interaction between carbon and nitrogen metabolism; assimilate partitioning within leaves of small grain cereals; source and sink relationship; photosynthetic characteristics of fruiting structures cultivated crops. Part 5 Stress - CO2 enrichment: effects of water stress on photosynthesis of crops and the biochemical mechanism; effect of heavy metals on photoynthesis in higher plants; the role of carotenoids in protection against photoinhibition; carbon dioxide enrichment effects on photosynthesis and plant growth; the influence of atmospheric CO2 enrichment on allocation patterns of carbon and nitrogen in plants from natural vegetations. Part 6 Genetic variation - productivity: genetic variation in photosynthetic characteristics in wheat - causes and consequences; the significance of light - limiting photosynthesis to crop canopy carbon gain and productivity - a theoretical analysis; leaf photosynthesis in rice in relation to grain yield; photosynthesis improvement as a way to increase crop yield.
