"The Leaf: A Platform for Performing Photosynthesis" von Ichiro Terashima ist ein wissenschaftliches Werk, das sich mit der komplexen Rolle des Blattes in der Photosynthese beschäftigt. Als Teil der Reihe "Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration" bietet Band 44 eine detaillierte Untersuchung darüber, wie Blätter als Plattformen für den photosynthetischen Prozess fungieren. Das Buch beleuchtet die strukturellen und funktionalen Aspekte von Blättern, die ihre Effizienz und Anpassungsfähigkeit bei der Umwandlung von Lichtenergie in chemische Energie beeinflussen. Es deckt Themen wie Blattarchitektur, Gaswechsel, Lichtabsorption sowie die Auswirkungen von Umweltfaktoren auf die Photosyntheseleistung ab. Forscher und Studierende finden hier umfassende Informationen über aktuelle Fortschritte und Methoden zur Untersuchung der Blattfunktionalität im Kontext der Pflanzenphysiologie.
William W. Adams III, a Professor at the University of Colorado, has pursued a lifelong passion for leaves. An investigation of the heterophyllous leaves (trichome-covered, atmospheric juvenile versus glabrous, tank-forming adult leaves) of an epiphytic bromeliad was followed by PhD research on photosynthesis and photoinhibition of plants with crassulacean acid metabolism. After postdoctoral work into leaf senescence, pollution impacts on leaves, and photosynthesis and photoprotection in leaves, cladodes, and lichens, he moved to Colorado in 1989. During the intervening years, he, his wife and colleague (Prof. Barbara Demmig-Adams), and their students explored the regulation and ecophysiology of photosynthesis, photoprotection, and photoinhibition of numerous species under controlled conditions and in many habitats including the understory of sunfleck-dappled forests, arid and desert landscapes, grasslands, and montane and subalpine forests. More recently, they discovered significant relationships between foliar phloem and xylem architecture (underlying capacities to load and export sugars and distribute water within the leaf), photosynthesis, and transpiration that vary among species and exhibit acclimatory adjustment to environmental growth conditions. The Leaf represents the renewal of ties between William and Ichiro that were initiated during their PhD and postdoctoral work, respectively, at the Australian National University in the mid-1980s.
Ichiro Terashima began his study on the light environment within individual leaves and its effect on leaf photosynthesis with Prof. Toshiro Saeki, miniaturizing his supervisor's study at the leaf canopy scale to the individual leaf scale. He subsequently conducted an eco-devo study examining effects of light direction on differentiation of palisade and spongy tissues in bifacial leaves with Prof. Noboru Hara, a plant anatomist. He then moved to the Australian National University and studied effects of light and nitrogen nutrition on leaf photosynthesis, patchy leaf photosynthesis in abscisic acid-treated leaves, and photoinhibition, followed by a position in Prof. Sakae Katoh's laboratory at the University of Tokyo. He became a full professor at Osaka University in 1997, and moved back to the University of Tokyo in 2006. With his colleagues and students, he has studied the influences of 1) green light in leaf photosynthesis, 2) mesophyll tissue in stomatal responses to environmental conditions, 3) soil dryness, high CO2 and ABA application on mesophyll conductance, 4) fluctuating light on photosynthesis, and 5) systemic signals such as sugars, hormones, peptides etc. on leaf development and senescence.
