Plant responses to UV

Have you read our collection on Plant responses to UV? Guest Edited by Gareth I Jenkins the collection is available to read online now.

This collection highlights the breadth of research being undertaken to understand how plants respond to UV radiation in the environment. Some articles focus on the mechanisms of UV perception and the consequent regulation of gene expression and downstream responses, while others are concerned with ecological perspectives and applications in crop production.

The themed issue is based substantially on presentations given at the 2018 Network Meeting of UV4Plants, the international association for plant UV research, held in Bled, Slovenia. The meeting included workshop sessions involving researchers with diverse interests in plant UV research, which resulted in an extensive perspective article (see T. M. Robson et al.) integrating the broad spectrum of plant UV research and highlighting areas where future research could be directed.

Lasers in medicine

Photochemical-&-Photobiological-SciencesJournal-Promo-82x25-graphite

 

Have you read our recent themed web collection on ‘Lasers in Medicine’? Guest Edited by Franz Trautinger the collection is available online now.

 

‘Since its invention in the 1960s the technology of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) has become essential to all areas within the photochemical and photobiological sciences. In photomedicine its use is manifold, in routine patient care as well as in clinical and experimental research, and continuing innovation is driven by the steady development of new laser sources and application devices. This virtual themed issue provides a selection of reviews and research articles on practical and conceptual aspects of the use of lasers in medicine written and compiled to attract the interest of a community of readers hopefully as broad as the topics covered.

Franz Trautinger’

Nano- and Molecular Engineering of Photosensitisers themed issue online

Issue 11 of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences is a themed issue focusing on ‘Nano- and Molecular Engineering of Photosensitisers’ and guest-edited by Fabienne Dumoulin.

Below is an excerpt from Fabienne’s editorial:

‘Like many English words, photosensitiser arises from Greek roots and literally means something sensitive to light, clearly a very broad definition. In this themed issue of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, photosensitiser stands only for systems which generate reactive oxygen species upon appropriate excitation and in suitable conditions. These papers focus on the design, synthesis and evaluation of such photosensitisers’.

The issue, along with Fabienne’s editorial can be read here.
