Photomorphogenesis in Plants and Bacteria

Function and Signal Transduction Mechanisms

Ed. by E. Schäfer and F. Nagy

Beschreibung

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 - explaining how combinations of new research with classical photobiology and physiology made feasible to interpret intriguing light dependent phenomena such as phototropism, determination of flowering time, shadeavoidance etc. at molecular level. Written by over 20 leading experts in the field "Photomorphogenesis in Plants and Bacteria" covers major breakthroughs achieved in the last decade including identification of novel photoreceptors and a variety of molecular mechanisms that mediate photoreceptors controlled signaling induced by the absorption of light photon.Generously referenced with more than 2389 bibliographic citations "Photomorphogenesis in Plants and Bacteria" is an indispensable tool for molecular, cell and applied biologists, geneticists, chronobiologists and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students interested in these disciplines.

Rezensionen

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)
