Chlorophyll a Fluorescence: A Signature of Photosynthesis highlights chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence as a convenient non-invasive highly sensitive rapid and quantitative probe of oxygenic photosynthesis. Thirty-one chapters authored by 58 international experts provide a solid foundation of the basic theory as well as of the application of the rich information contained in the Chl a fluorescence signal as it relates to photosynthesis and plant productivity. Although the primary photochemical reactions of photosynthesis are highly efficient a small fraction of absorbed photons escapes as Chl fluorescence and this fraction varies with metabolic state providing a basis for monitoring quantitatively various processes of photosynthesis. The book explains the mechanisms with which plants defend themselves against environmental stresses (excessive light extreme temperatures drought hyper-osmolarity heavy metals and UV). It also includes discussion on fluorescence imaging ofleaves and cells and the remote sensing of Chl fluorescence from terrestrial airborne and satellite bases. The book is intended for use by graduate students beginning researchers and advanced undergraduates in the areas of integrative plant biology cellular and molecular biology plant biology biochemistry biophysics plant physiology global ecology and agriculture.
