Biochemical Basis of Ecological Adaptation

  • Chapter
Photosynthesis II

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 6))

Abstract

Processes of plant adaptation to various environments are to be found at all levels of plant function and organization. However, while many adaptational responses to certain environmental conditions have been described at the levels of plant structure and organization, the biochemical basis of such adaptations is often not fully understood. This can be exemplified by the subject of this chapter: the biochemical basis of adaptation of photosynthetic systems to extreme environments.
