Erik MurchieDr Erik Murchie is a Professor of Plant Physiology at the University of Nottingham, UK. His research interests include photosynthesis in crop plants, particularly the regulation of photosynthesis in response to environmental factors. His research labexamines the fundamental processes in crop plants such as light harvesting, carbon assimilation and energy dissipation, but also works with novel agricultural systems such as those which are making use of novel lighting technology in horticulture. Dr Murchie brings a wealth of foundational knowledge but also real-world examples of novel innovations in photosynthesis, something that both students and advanced researchers would find highly valuable in a modern foundational title on photosynthesis.
