We welcome manuscripts advancing our functional understanding of photobiological processes.
Manuscripts dealing with all aspects of photosynthesis, ranging from physiology, structure and mechanisms of the photosynthetic machinery and primary metabolism, stress acclimation responses to artificial photosynthesis will be considered. Work on more applied aspects addressing bioenergy, blue and green biotechnology is also appreciated.
We also welcome photobiology-related studies covering mechanisms underlying photophysics, photochemistry, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms and ultraviolet radiation effects.
Photoreceptors, light-dependent developmental processes, photosynthesis, blue/green biotechnology.
