Photosynthesis : The Biochemistry of Plants PDF
Edited by M. D. Hatch, N. K. Boardman
Description
The Biochemistry of Plants: A Comprehensive Treatise, Volume 8: Photosynthesis provides information pertinent to the biochemistry of photosynthesis.
This book focuses on the photosynthesis of higher plants but some consideration is given to algal and bacterial photosynthesis. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the excitation of a light-harvesting pigment by an absorbed light quantum.
This text then discusses the evidence to support the hypothesis that chlorophyll-protein complexes are represented at the supramolecular level by some of the intramembranous particles seen on chloroplast freeze-fracture faces.
Other chapters consider the absorption of light energy by accessory pigments and transferred to chlorophyll in the blue-green, red, and brown algae.
This book discusses as well that certain cyanobacteria respond to the color of the incident light by altering their biliprotein composition.
The final chapter deals with dark reaction of photosynthesis. This book is a valuable resource for plant biochemists, neurobiochemists, molecular biologists, senior graduate students, and research workers.
