Photosynthetic Adaptation: Chloroplast To Landscape

Photosynthetic Adaptation: Chloroplast to Landscape  thoroughly studies photosynthetic mechanisms at each structural level, from cells to leaves, crown, and canopy.  The authors question whether photosynthetic adaptations take place primarily at the metabolic and biochemical level or through changes in structure and form, or both.  In the interest of genetic engineering and agricultural applications, the authors analyze the relative importance of genes  that control  both metabolic and light reactions as well as the structure, arrangement, and orientation of photosynthesis.
