Photosynthesis is one of the most active areas of plant science research. Manipulation of the genes involved in photosynthesis has been made possible by advances in molecular biology, resulting in an increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This book provides an authoritative overview of several important issues in this topic. Leading researchers have written chapters on aspects and perspectives of photosynthetic research; replication of chloroplast DNA; and mutagenesis and gene regulation. Over 1100 references to key literature are also included to make this an comprehensive review of the molecular basis of photosynthesis and essential reading for molecular biologists and plant scientists.
