Oxygenic photosynthesis in plants initiates when the pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoids harvest light and transfer the energy toward reaction centers, where it is converted to chemical energy via photochemical charge separation. Most importantly, plants effectively use the light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen, sustaining the lives on Earth. Although light energy is vital for photosynthesis process, excessive light intensity can cause photoinhibition in plants reducing photochemical efficiency and also can cause photooxidative system damage. On the other hand, low light intensity could also negatively affect photosynthesis which therefore can severely restrict plant growth and development. Under such circumstances of different light intensities, plants also have various adaptive strategies to reduce the potential damages caused by light stress. Therefore, this Research Topic welcomes collections on the evolving and adapting strategies in plants in order to efficiently utilize light energy under light stresses and sustain plant growth.

This is a book for everyone interested in photosynthesis. The algae are a fascinating group of photosynthetic organisms ranging from some of the largest organisms on our planet down to the microscopic. The book introduces the reader to algal diversity as currently understood and then traces the photosynthetic structures and mechanisms that contribute so much to making the algae unique. The 19 articles are each written by experts in their area; ranging over all the essential aspects and making for a comprehensive coverage of the whole field. (Midwest).
