From the reviews:
“This book is another valuable contribution to the growing library of volumes in the Springer series ‘Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration’ … . the volume focuses on the bioengineering of improved photosynthetic efficiency as a method to increase agricultural plant productivity, improve biofuel production, and even support extra-terrestrial space colonization. … Beginning students will gain much from the review material and advanced researchers will find the chapters on direct applications to be very useful in guiding their thinking and future experiments.” (Robert R. Wise, Annals of Botany, Vol. 112 (3), August, 2013)
