This fully updated edition explores fundamental prools for the study of photosynthesis in a manner accessible to a broad spectrum of researchers. Featuring prools to examine light response curves and gas exchange measurements for a variety of samples, the book includes new prools on photosynthesis in the adaxial and abaxial sides of a leaf, non-foliar organs, and aquatic systems. Prools and best practice for eddy covariance, thermal, spectral, and hyperspectral imaging and data analysis, as well as stable isotope labeling and quantification of photosynthetic metabolites, are introduced alongside fresh insights on many more topics. Written for the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and up-to-date,
Photosynthesis: Methods and Prools, Second Edition
provides an ideal guide to the improved technologies expanding our capabilities to study photosynthesis today.
