Photosynthesis is central to plant physiology, influencing growth, stress responses, and ecosystem dynamics. This text delves into how plants adapt to environmental stresses like drought and heat, the effects of age and size on tree physiology, and the complex relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels and plant growth. It also explores plant defense mechanisms against metal stress, the potential of genetic engineering to enhance stress resistance, and the use of photosynthetic systems in sustainable resource management and conservation efforts.
