This book provides coverage of the biology of water use efficiency at molecular, cellular, whole plant and community levels. This book represents the treatment with a biological focus. The volume sets out the definitions applicable to water use efficiency, the fundamental physio…
The book reviews photosynthetic water oxidation and proton-coupled electron transfer in photosystem, focusing on the molecular vibrations of amino acid residues and water molecules. Photosynthetic water oxidation performed by plants and cyanobacteria is essential for the sustena…

The next generation of ground- and space-based telescopes will probe the atmospheres, and possibly the surfaces, of Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone (HZ). However, observing time will be both expensive and limited making it essential to target only the most promising pl…
Algae, including cyanobacteria, are in the spotlight today for a number of reasons; firstly it has become abundantly clear over recent years that algae have been neglected in terms of basic research and that knowledge gap is being rapidly closed with the establishment of some su…

Bioenergetics, the topic of volume 5 of this Series, is concerned with the energetics, the kinetics, and the mechanisms of energy conversion in biological systems. This phenomenon can be investigated on diffeƯ rent levels of complexity. On a global level the role of biological p…
This book highlights chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence as a convenient, non-invasive, highly sensitive, rapid and quantitative probe of oxygenic photosynthesis. It provides a solid foundation of the basic theory, as well as of the application of the rich information contained in…
