SPRINGER Photosynthetic Adaptation Chloroplast To Landscape Volume 178 2004 Edition by SMITH WILLIAM K. ET.AL
This is a thorough study of photosynthetic mechanisms from cells to leaves, crown, and canopy. The authors question whether photosynthetic adaptations take place primarily at the metabolic and biochemical level or through changes in structure and form, or both. The text goes on to analyze the relative importance of genes that control metabolic and light reactions, and the structure, arrangement, and orientation of photosynthesis.
