Abstract Ultraviolet-A radiation (UV-A: 315–400 nm) is a component of solar radiation that
exerts a wide range of physiological responses in plants. Currently, field attenuation …

Photoprotection of photosystem II (PSII) is essential to avoid the light-induced damage of the
photosynthetic apparatus due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (= photo-oxidative …

Sunlight damages photosynthetic machinery, primarily photosystem II (PSII), and causes
photoinhibition that can limit plant photosynthetic activity, growth and productivity. The extent …

Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and
ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised …

Water deficits cause a reduction in the rate of photosynthesis. Exposure to mild water
deficits, when relative water content (RWC) remains above 70%, primarily causes limitation …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Even though light is the ultimate substrate for photosynthetic energy conversion, it can also
harm plants. This toxicity is targeted to the water-splitting photosystem II and leads to …

Recent measurements of ozone levels have led to concern that the stratospheric ozone
layer is being depleted as a result of contamination with man-made chlorofluorocarbons …

The photosynthetic apparatus of some plant species appears to be well-protected from direct
damage from UV-B radiation. Leaf optical properties of these species apparently minimizes …

Elevated seawater temperatures have long been accepted as the principal stressor causing
the loss of symbiotic algae in corals and other invertebrates with algal symbionts …
