Environmental Stress and Photosynthesis

  • Chapter
Progress in Photosynthesis Research

Abstract

To understand the mechanisms that underlie photosynthetic responses to environmental stress it is convenient to consider the model where photosynthesis is composed of a series of subprocesses beginning with the absorption of light and ending with the enzymatic processes related to the reduction of CO2. If we have the ambition to relate stress to photosynthetic or biomass productivity we should also consider light interception of plants at the individual plant and canopy levels. As stress may affect processes at all these levels of plant organization, we must bring together information about the function of a large number of component processes in relation to environmental stress. Furthermore, from a physiological viewpoint it is important to causally relate an observed stress effect at the levels of subprocesses to the photosynthetic performance at the leaf level.
