Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism - (Plant Biology, Sustainability, and Climate Change) by Sumira Jan & Gowhar Hussain Bhat (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism: Interaction from the Sub-cellular to Ecosystem Level offers a clear illustration of the interaction between radiation spectrums and the dynamics of biological systems in plants. Explaining the light-Phyllosphere relationship, this volume describes metabolite chemistry, thus reflecting the developmental and functional fitness of the plant. As climate change has resulted in a natural variation in the cosmic radiation spectrum, a knowledge gap has emerged about the changing radiation spectrum and its impacts on plant metabolism. This book addresses the subject in-depth, providing insights into the functional role of photoreceptors, pigments, and various metabolites in coping with this alteration.

It will be a valuable reference for photo biologists, biophysicists, and biochemists for deciphering the impacts of radiation spectrum on plant metabolism. Researchers working in the field of metabolite chemistry and metabolomics will also find it useful to comprehend the physical laws governing the interaction of radiation spectrum with biological system.
