This book reports the proceedings of a meeting held in the 'Limburgs Universitair Centrum' , Diepenbeek, Belgium, August 26 to 30, 1974. In convening this meet ing, my aim was to bring together a small number of specialists working on photosynthesis of course but also always keeping in mind that plants are in fluenced by their environment (temperature, light quality and intensity, air com position, daylength . . . . . ) and can differently react according to their stage of deve lopment. In general, all these specialists work on whole plants cultivated in well known conditions (they are not 'market spinach specialists') but, when necessary, give up the idea of measuring photochemical activities in isolated they don't chloroplasts, enzyme kinetics . . . etc. It is noticeable that about 50% of them are working in laboratories directly involved with applied research in agriculture or forestry. The format of the meeting was intentionally kept small but it allowed generous time for discussion; thanks are due to Drs. O. BJÖRKMAN, J. W. BRADBEER, M. M. LUDLOW and C. B. OSMOND for taking the chairs during these discussions. In such a small meeting, the choice of invited scientists was really a personnal one and thus reflected my own fields of interest. When planning the conference, I was continually divided between the wish for inviting other interesting people and the necessity of keeping time free for discussions.

This book contains the proceedings of a symposium, held in the Limburgs Universitair Centrum, Diepenbeek, Belgium, from July 23 to 29, 1978.1t can be considered as a continuation of the publication 'Environmental and Biological Control of Photosynthesis' (Dr. W. Junk b.v. Publishers, The Hague, 1975). In the last meeting, however, emphasis was much more on the biological control of photosynthesis. The sequence of the different topic sessions and papers on the symposium programme is maintained in the publication; the editors are aware of the fact that different contributions might figure equally well in more than one session. A limited number of speakers was invited; time for discussion therefore could generously be provided to the audience. We thank all the participants for their active contribution to the success of this conception of organizing a meeting. The quality of a discussion session also depends on the performance of the discussion leader; thanks are due to Drs. G. Bernier, J.J. Landsberg, C.J. Pearson, R. Sachs, I.A. Tamas and K.J. Treharne who took the chair with scientific authority and enthusiasm. In order to keep in memory the flavor of this aspect of the meeting, an account of the discussion on one particular topic, the relationship between photosynthesis and flowering, was made by Dr. R. Sachs (reporter) and Dr. G. Bernier (discussion leader) and is published here after the reports on this topic.

Environmental Control of Plant Growth consists of the proceedings of a symposium held at Canberra, Australia, in August 1962. The symposium aims to consider the natural microenvironments of plants and the associations between natural and controlled environments. It also considers the physiological and genetic bases of responses by plants to environmental conditions. The book contains 24 chapters and discusses the physics of plant environment, as well as the physical quantities within plant-air layers. It also elucidates the energy and water balance, light relations, gas exchange, and energy relations in plant communities. The book also looks into the respiration of various organs and of whole plants. Lastly, the effects of the environment, including “climatic factors, on the metabolism of plant cells are addressed.

Photosynthesis and the Environment examines how photosynthesis may be influenced by environmental changes. Structural and functional aspects of the photosynthetic apparatus are examined in the context of responses to environmental stimuli; particular attention being given to the processing of light energy by thylakoids, metabolic regulation, gas exchange and source-sink relations. The roles of developmental and genetic responses in determining photosynthetic performance are also considered. The complexity of the responses to environmental change is demonstrated by detailed analyses of the effects of specific environmental variables (light, temperature, water, CO2, ozone and UV-B) on photosynthetic performance. Where appropriate attention is given to recent developments in the techniques used for studying photosynthetic activities. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and a wide range of scientists with research interests in environmental effects on photosynthesis and plant productivity.
