About the book

This monograph series is commissioned by the Phytochemical Society of North America (PSNA). The volumes in this series contain articles on topics of importance to scientists, students, and individuals interested in recent developments in the biochemistry, chemistry, and molecular biology of plants. Volume 40 explores integrative plant biochemistry. The chapter demonstrate that the integration of classical photochemistry into plant molecular biology is now well-established.
