Excerpt from Plant Light-Growth Discoveries: From Photoperiodism to Phytochrome; January, 1961 Twentieth century man is managing plant growth with success undreamed of by farmers and gardeners before him. But scientists who explore plant life are aware that far greater success is ahead-when they can explain precisely how and why plants grow as they do on a sunlit earth. Major progress toward this goal comes through discoveries disclosing the sun-operated clockwork in plants that controls each change in the life cycle from seed germination to fruiting.

There are many recent works on the topic of light and plant growth. These have not only been written by experts, but are also, in the main, written for experts (or, at least, for those who already have a fair understanding of the subject). This book has its origins in a six-week course in plant photophysiology, and its aim is to provide an introduction to the subject at an advanced undergraduate level. The imagined audience is simply a student who has asked the questions: In what ways does light affect plant growth, and how does it do it? The book is limited to aspects of photomorphogenesis. Photo synthesis is only considered where its pigments impinge on photo morphogenic investigations, or where its processes provide illustrative examples of particular interactions between light and biological material. Chapter 1 gives a general account of the various ways in which light affects plant development, and introduces topics which are subsequently covered in greater detail. In all the chapters, are special topic 'boxes', consisting of squared-off sections of text. These are simply devices for presenting explanatory background material, or material that I myself find particularly intriguing.

Light and Plant Development presents the Proceedings of the 22nd University of Nottingham Easter School in Agricultural Science. It discusses the spectral sensitivity of inhibition of flowering by light. It addresses the action spectrum for leaf enlargement and stem growth inhibition. Some of the topics covered in the book are the nature of the blue light photoreceptor in higher plants and fungi; re-examination of photochemical properties and absorption characteristics of phytochrome using high-molecular-weight preparations; and intermediates in the photoconversion of phytochrome. The high irradiance reaction is fully covered. The physiological evidence and localised responses, intracellular localisation and action of phytochrome are discussed in detail. The text describes in depth the immunological visualisation of phytochrome. The fractionation procedures and terminology are presented completely. A chapter is devoted to the photocontrol of enzyme levels. Another section focuses on the ribosomal RNA synthesis in developing leaves. The book can provide useful information to botanists, chemists, students, and researchers.

Scientific progress hinges on continual discovery and the extension of previous discoveries. The important series of volumes Discoveries in Plant Biology is specially compiled to provide a microcosmic atlas of the landmark discoveries that span the breadth of plant biology. Written by renowned plant biologists, the papers describe how classic discoveries were made and how they have served as the basis for subsequent breakthroughs.The 24 chapters in this third volume describe discoveries which contribute to the foundations of modern plant biology. The contributors, many of whom personally lit the way, bring readers back in time as if on a journey to retrace the paths and rethink the ideas they followed. These guided tours on how to decipher the natural laws will lead to an appreciation of the development of each field from simple concepts to an advanced multidisciplinary field of today. This volume will be of special interest to botanists, biochemists, plant physiologists and geneticists, and of general interest to those who are still fascinated by how discoveries are made.

"Who discovered photosynthesis? Not many people know. Jan IngenHousz' name has been forgotten, his life and works have disappeared in the mists of time. Still, the tale of his scientific endeavour shows science in action. Not only does it open up an undisclosed chapter of the history of science, it is an ideal (as under researched) episode in the history of science that can help to shine some light on the ingredients and processes that shape the development of science. This paves the way for a fresh multidimensional approach in the philosophy of science: towards an "ecology of science"."--P. [4] of cover.

Photosynthesis Catalyst of Life By Marvin Ira Miller When L.E.D. came on the market, author Marvin Ira Miller was involved with indoor operations dealing with producing medical plants. Quickly it became apparent to apply them properly. He had to have an understanding of what light is and what photosynthesis is. After a month of research it seemed nobody seemed to know and as for light, it all depends on who you talk to. Science has branched off so many directions. Their language has gotten to the point that if you ask a physicist, a chemist and a biologist to describe how to boil a cup of water they will all end up with a 20 page formula filled with hundred dollar words. They will pass their paper to the right and they all sit there quietly, pretending like they knew what the other scientist was saying. Then you walk in and grab a cup, fill it with water, throw it in the microwave for a minute and turn to see them glaring at you. It’s no wonder with photosynthesis you have to have an understanding of a number of different fields and how they fit together. Miller’s background is more in engineering. If there was a room filled with equipment where you put this in here that comes out there, he was the one they called when everyone else was scared to go in. As with everything else complicated in life, break it down to its simplest components and it becomes easy when you never use the word ‘can’t.’ This book is meant to pass on what Miller discovered and tell it in a way the guy who put the cup in the microwave could understand. The goals are simple. First is to leave you with a comprehension of light, since there are many other areas its properties can be applied. Second is to give you the knowledge of what photosynthesis is and use words the rest of us people without all the big words understand. Once you have an understanding of these two things, by the end of the book you will start to understand the true value of L.E.D. systems besides power savings. By knowing desired outcomes and chemical makeup you will see the ability to alter the chemical direction for things such as color, taste, smell, or pharmaceutical direction just by adding or subtracting different frequency combinations. And, finally, when a light salesman comes up to you and says for five dollars more you can get this lamp because it has 50 more lux you can look at him laughing and say what does that have to do with growing plants. Marvin Ira Miller hates sales people.

Plants utilize light not only for photosynthesis but also as environmental signals. They are capable of perceiving wavelength, intensity, direction, duration, and other attributes of light to perform appropriate physiological and developmental changes. This volume presents overviews of and the latest findings in many of the interconnected aspects of plant photomorphogenesis, including photoreceptors (phytochromes, cryptochromes, and phototropins), signal transduction, photoperiodism, and circadian rhythms, in 42 chapters. Also included, is a prologue by Prof. Masaki Furuya that gives an overview of the historical background. With contributions from preeminent researchers in specific subjects from around the world, this book will be a valuable source for a range of scientists from undergraduate to professional levels.
