Author Description

"The focus in this volume is on the light-intercepting surfaces of the plant and the utilisation of the absorbed energy to fix carbon - the foundation of carbon-based life on earth. The authors consider a diverse range of species throughout drawing on experience gained with both monocultures and mixed-plant communities. The volume is intended for researchers and professionals in plant physiology, cell biology, molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology. It will also be of interest to crop physiologists."--BOOK JACKET.
