Photosynthetic Adaptation [electronic resource] : Chloroplast to Landscape / edited by William K. Smith, Thomas C. Vogelmann, Christa Critchley

This is a thorough study of photosynthetic mechanisms from cells to leaves, crown, and canopy. The authors question whether photosynthetic adaptations take place primarily at the metabolic and biochemical level or through changes in structure and form, or both. The text goes on to analyze the relative importance of genes that control metabolic and light reactions, and the structure, arrangement, and orientation of photosynthesis.
