Photosynthetic systems
1983
Danks, Susan M. | Evans, E. Hilary | Whittaker, Peter A.
Whilst the coverage of this book is primarily photosynthesis in green plants, additional comparative material is included on bacteria and algae where photosynthesis takes place; the intention being to present a comprehensive and up-to-date overview. A brief description of the structure of plants, algae and bacteria which are able to carry out photosynthetic reactions is given as a necessary introduction to the detailed discussion of the reactions accompanying photosynthesis in all photosynthetic systems. The final chapter covers the biogenesis of chloroplasts which is a rapidly expanding researching area. The book is written for undergraduate students of biochemistry, biology and plant physiology. The authors have included references to research techniques throught the text, but have not attempted to give definitive descriptions of these methods. Their aim is to encourage students to make the connection between experimental techniques and accepted knowledge, which they often study separately. A suggested reading list is provided at the end of each chapter to aid the more advanced student to further reading.
