Measurements and modeling of photosynthesis in field crops

Abstract
We will review the status of photosynthetic field crop research contributing to the prediction of crop behavior, aspects of laboratory photosynthetic research that can be used to predict behavior in the field, interactions between crop photosynthesis and other plant processes, and aspects of related modeling problems. We will build on other CRC reviews related to this subject area. We will also emphasize physiological aspects of genotypic differences in photosynthetic rates.
