Preface Photosynthesis is the foundation for life on Earth. In the last 10 years, interest in photosynthesis has increased dramatically as a means to address two concerns related to global population growth: increasing natural photosynthesis to ensure food security and harnessing the power of photosynthesis for unlimited energy. A multidisciplinary cadre of scientists has joined the photosynthetic research community with those aims in mind. The goal of this volume entitled Photosynthesis: Methods and Protocols is to provide fundamental protocols for the study of photosynthesis in a manner accessible to a broad spectrum of researchers. A range of classical and modern techniques written in user-friendly, accessible language is provided. The contents are broken into four parts covering the measurement of physiological photosynthetic parameters, quantifying photosynthetic enzyme abundance and catalytic
