ljóseindafræði
Ljóseindafræði, also known as photobiology, is the scientific study of the interactions between light and living organisms. It encompasses a broad range of phenomena, from the fundamental ways organisms detect and respond to light to the complex biological processes that light initiates and regulates. This field investigates the effects of light across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, though it often focuses on visible light and ultraviolet radiation.
Key areas within ljóseindafræði include photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert
The field also explores photomorphogenesis, the influence of light on plant development and growth, and chronobiology,
