Research in Photosynthesis: Volume III Proceedings of the Ixth International Congress on Photosynthesis, Nagoya, Japan, August 30-September 4, 199

These volumes contain an excellent, up-to-date review of the rapidly developing field of photosynthesis research. They comprise the proceedings of the Ninth International Congress on Photosynthesis, held in Nagoya, Japan, in 1992, which was the first in the series to be held in Asia. The Congress was attended by over 1000 active participants from 43 countries, who contributed plenary lectures, symposium talks, posters and discussions. The volumes contain most of these contributions, in the form of review papers and short communications, assembled in 26 chapters, which cover a wide variety of subjects, such as: fundamental aspects, excitation energy transfer, primary reactions, bioenergetic processes, carbon metabolism, and its metabolic and genetic regulations; applied aspects, herbicides and artificial photosynthesis, and environmental aspects, photosynthesis under stress conditions and global climate change.
Research in Photosynthesis is therefore an important document, containing the latest high-level information about photosynthesis in its broadest sense. The four volumes are a valuable reference source. Furthermore, the volumes are important for background study for those enetering this exciting and promising field of investigation.
