摘要:The book covers the expression of photosynthesis related genes including regulation both at transcriptional and translational levels. Biogenesis, turnover and senescence of thylakoid pigment protein complexes are reviewed and some crucial regulatory steps in carbon metabolism are highlighted. The stress and acclimation responses in chloroplasts are examined at molecular level. The book also provides examples of novel methods for studies of photosynthetic regulation.
