So you think you know about photosynthesis? Think again

Plants have evolved a subtle understanding of light, able to detect not only its direction and its intensity, but also its colour and duration. Light influences the activity of thousands of plant genes, underlying responses such as domancy, germination, and branching. Now researchers are uncovering precise chains of events that connect light to gene expression.

If you're thinking about applying to study biology at University, this will extend your knowledge and bring you further up to date with some contemporary ideas in the field.
