“Nearly 240 years after Joseph Priestley’s influential experiments

involving a mouse, a plant and a bell jar the need and desire to study photosynthesis and the environment has not diminished. In fact, it is well recognized that the relationship between photosynthesis and the environment is key to understanding 17-DMAG (Alvespimycin) HCl the health of our planet, in addition to providing clean air, water and food security across the globe. Although there is a wealth of information, scaling across time (femtosecond to gigayear) and space (angstrom to globe), on the response of photosynthesis to changing environmental conditions there is still much to be learned about the interaction between photosynthetic processes and the environment in which it happens. In fact this has never been truer as our planet’s climate changes at unprecedented rates and the population of humankind continues to grow (both in number and girth).
