This unique resource reviews progress made by scientists researching into how ambient changes in the wavelength, intensity, direction and duration of light environment affect plant growth and development. It explains how combinations of new research with classical photobiology and physiology have made it feasible to interpret intriguing light dependent phenomena such as phototropism, determination of flowering time, shade avoidance etc. at molecular level. Written by over 20 leading experts in the field the book covers major breakthroughs achieved in the last decade. It is generously referenced with more than 2389 bibliographic citations.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
本書は、環境の光条件(波長、強度、方向、照射時間など)が植物の成長と発生に及ぼす影響に関する研究をまとめたユニークな解説書で、従来からの光生物学・生理学に新しい研究を組み合わせることにより、光屈性や開花期の決定、被陰回避などの興味深い光依存性現象が分子レベルで説明されることが明らかにされている.本書の執筆は、各分野の第一人者ら20名以上が担当しており、このたびの第3版では過去10年間に光形態形成分野を飛躍的に進歩させた研究を網羅している.たとえば新規光受容体の同定や、光子(フォトン)の吸収により誘導され光受容体が関与する情報伝達の様々な分子メカニズムなどが取り上げられている.また本書には、2,389を超える参考文献情報が掲載されており、分子生物学、細胞生物学、応用生物学、遺伝学、時間生物学の研究者や、これらの分野に関心を抱く大学の学部生、大学院生に広くお薦め.

Review
From the reviews:
"The book is of the highest scientific standard and can be recommended to all researchers in plant photobiology as well as to graduate and postgraduate students."
(Biologia Plantarum 36:4, 1994)
"The editors present a book that has long been awaited. … This book on ‘Photomorphogenesis in Plants and Bacteria’ is highly recommended … . It collects contribution from outstanding scientists in this research field. … The overall presentation of the book is acceptable and most of the figures are reproduced with sufficient quality." (Wolfgang Gärtner, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 165 (3), 2008)
