Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism: Interaction from the Sub-cellular to Ecosystem Level offers a concise and clear illustration of the interaction between the radiation spectrums and the dynamics of biological system in plants. Explaining the light- Phyllosphere relationship, which governs the underlying metabolite chemistry of the plant, this volume describes the metabolite chemistry which in turns reflects 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. Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism: Interaction from the Sub-cellular to Ecosystem Level addresses the subject in depth, providing insights into the functional role of photoreceptors, pigments and various metabolites in coping with the 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.
