Photosynthesis Research

Aims & Scope

Photosynthesis Research is an international journal open to papers of merit dealing with both basic and applied aspects of photosynthesis.

It covers all aspects of photosynthesis research, including, but not limited to, light absorption and emission, excitation energy transfer, primary photochemistry, model systems, membrane components, protein complexes, electron transport, photophosphorylation, carbon assimilation, regulatory phenomena, molecular biology, environmental and ecological aspects, photorespiration, and bacterial and algal photosynthesis.
