The quality, quantity, direction and duration of light is monitored by a series of photoreceptors covering spectral information from UVB to near infrared. The combined techniques of action spectroscopy and biochemistry allowed one of the important photoreceptors – phytochrome – to be identified in the middle of the last century.

From the reviews: "The book is of the highest scientific standard and can be recommended to all researchers in plant photobiology as well as to graduate and postgraduate students." (Biologia Plantarum 36:4, 1994) "The editors present a book that has long been awaited. ... This book on 'Photomorphogenesis in Plants and Bacteria' is highly recommended ... . It collects contribution from outstanding scientists in this research field. ... The overall presentation of the book is acceptable and most of the figures are reproduced with sufficient quality." (Wolfgang Gartner, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 165 (3), 2008)
