Photosynthesis in Bryophytes
and Early Land Plants
Bryophyte Color Wheel Bryophytes present diverse photosynthetic physiology and morphology, as evidenced
by differences in the organization of the shoot system and by their varied pigmentation. Yet the vast majority are
desiccation tolerant, represented by the Integrated Water-Carbon Budget (IWCB) model showing the photosynthetic
response following hydration of a dry bryophyte (see Coe et al., Chap. 1 6 , this volume). Bryophytes are arranged
on a color wheel starting from the red on the left above the horizontal and progressing clockwise through orange,
yellow, green, blue and violet with secondary colors also shown. No known bryophyte expresses blue pigmentation.
Clockwise from red, species shown include C alliergon sarmentosum , Bryum muehlenbeckii , Cratoneuron
commutatum , Barbilophozia fl oerkei , Barbula enderesii , Bryum capillare , Conocephalum conicum , Frullania
dilatata , Andreaea alpestris , Sphagnum warnstorfi i and Bryum arcticum , with Grimmia funalis in the white ring
and Cinclidotus riparius in the black ring. Photographs by Michael Lüth and composition by Steven Rice.

The book series A DVANCES IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION Including Bioenergy and Related
Processes provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art account of research in photosynthesis,
respiration and related processes. Virtually all life on our planet Earth ultimately depends on
photosynthetic energy capture and conversion to energy- rich organic molecules. These are used
for food, fuel, and fi ber. Photosynthesis is the source of almost all bioenergy on Earth. The fuel
and energy uses of photosynthesized products and processes have become an important area
of study, and competition between food and fuel has led to resurgence in photosynthesis research.
This series of books spans topics from physics to agronomy and medicine; from femtosecond
processes through season-long production to evolutionary changes over the course of the history
of the Earth; from the photophysics of light absorption, excitation energy transfer in the antenna
to the reaction centers, where the highly-efficient primary conversion of light energy to charge
separation occurs, through the electrochemistry of intermediate electron transfer, to the physiology
of whole organisms and ecosystems; and from X-ray crystallography of proteins to the morphology
of organelles and intact organisms. In addition to photosynthesis in natural systems, genetic
engineering of photosynthesis and artifi cial photosynthesis is included in this series. The goal of
the series is to offer beginning researchers, advanced undergraduate students, graduate students,
and even research specialists, a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of the remarkable advances
across the full scope of research on photosynthesis and related energy processes. The purpose
of this series is to improve understanding of photosynthesis and plant respiration at many levels
both to improve basic understanding of these important processes and to enhance our ability to
use photosynthesis for the improvement of the human condition.
