Photosynthesis: From Plants to Nanomaterials in the
Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series, summarizes both the
foundational mechanisms and latest advances in photosynthesis. With
a strong emphasis on artificial photosynthesis, the book also
analyzes the role of nanomaterials in energy production. Starting
with an introduction to plant photosynthetic systems, chapters
discuss the structure of light harvesting systems, energy transfer
and membrane protein complexes. The book later describes the role
of nanoparticles in photosynthesis, including agricultural
applications, advances in nanobionics, and the impact of engineered
nanomaterials. This book is an essential read for researchers and
students interested in photosynthesis, bionanotechnology and
nanomaterials.
In the modern world, to meet increasing energy demands we need to
develop new technologies allowing us to use eco-friendly
carbon-neutral energy sources. Solar energy as the most promising
renewable source could be the way to solve that problem, but it is
variable depending on day time and season. From this side, the
understanding of photosynthesis process could be of significant
help for us to develop effective strategies of solar energy
capturing, conversion, and storage. Plants, algae, and
cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis, annually producing around 100
billion tons of dry biomass. Presently, the detailed studies of
photosynthetic system structure make functional investigations of
the photosynthetic process available, allowing scientists to
construct artificial systems for solar energy transduction. This
book summarizes exciting achievements in understanding of
photosynthetic structures and mechanisms of this process made by
world leaders in photosynthesis field, and contains information
about modern ideas in development of revolutionary new technologies
of energy conversion. Organized according to the natural sequence
of events occurring during photosynthesis, the book includes
information of both photosynthetic structures and mechanisms and
its applications in bioenergetics issues.

Completely updated from the successful first edition, this book
provides a timely update on the recent progress in our knowledge of
all aspects of plant perception, signalling and adaptation to a
variety of environmental stresses. It covers in detail areas such
as drought, salinity, waterlogging, oxidative stress, pathogens,
and extremes of temperature and pH. This second edition: Presents
detailed and up-to-date research on plant responses to a wide range
of stresses Includes new full-colour figures to help illustrate the
principles outlined in the text Is written in a clear and
accessible format, with descriptive abstracts for each chapter
Written by an international team of experts, this book provides
researchers with a better understanding of the major physiological
and molecular mechanisms facilitating plant tolerance to adverse
environmental factors. This new edition of Plant Stress Physiology
is an essential resource for researchers and students of ecology,
plant biology, agriculture, agronomy and plant breeding.
