O. L. LANGE, P. S. NOBEL, C. B. OSMOND, and H. ZIEGLER In the
original series of the Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, plant
water relations and photosynthesis were treated separately, and the
connection between phenomena was only considered in special
chapters. O. STOCKER edited Vol ume III, Pjlanze und Wasser/Water
Relations of Plants in 1956, and 4 years later, Volume V, Parts I
and 2, Die COrAssimilation/The Assimilation of Carbon Dioxide
appeared, edited by A. PIRSON. Until recently, there has also been
a tendency to cover these aspects of plant physiology separately in
most text books. Without doubt, this separation is justifiable. If
one is specifically inter ested, for example in photosynthetic
electron transport, in details of photophos phorylation, or in
carbon metabolism in the Calvin cycle, it is not necessary to ask
how these processes relate to the water relations of the plant.
Accordingly, this separate coverage has been maintained in the New
Series of the Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology. The two volumes
devoted exclusively to photosynthesis are Volume 5, Photosynthesis
I, edited by A. TREBST and M. AVRON, and Volume 6, Photosynthesis
II, edited by M. GIBBS and E. LATZKO. When consider ing carbon
assimilation and plant water relations from an ecological point of
view, however, we have to recognize that this separation is
arbitrary."
