Plastid Development in Leaves During
Growth and Senescence
This book deals with plastid development in leaves during growth and senescence. Leaves undergo various phases
during their development fi nally leading to senescence and death. Deciduous trees form new leaves in spring, a
process paralleled by development of photosynthetically active chloroplasts. In autumn, leaves undergo spectacular
changes in colour ranging form yellow, red up to brown, a process paralleled by degradation of chlorophyll and
dismantling of chloroplasts. We introduce this book with the above photographs taken by Karin Krupinska, showing
at the left emerging and young leaves of Tilia europaea and at the right senescing leaves of Acer tataricum L.

The book series ADVANCES 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-effi cient 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.
