Abstract
Chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence measurements are widely used in the study of photosynthesis, and Reto Strasser is a well-known pioneer in this domain. In 2019, the current authors, together with Vineet Soni, and Neera Bhalla Sarin, celebrated his 75th birthday. Here, we pay tribute to him on his 82nd birthday through a brief description of the key results we had obtained with him, over the years, on the understanding and exploitation of the OJIP Chl a fluorescence transient. The topics of these studies have been quite diverse, from the oxygen clock, the bicarbonate effect in Photosystem II, the adaptability of plants to various stress factors, to mathematical modeling of the OJIP phase, but all based on the application of Chl a fluorescence for the understanding of oxygenic photosynthesis. Additionally, we have included here a list of the authors who have honored Reto Strasser in Photosynthetica in 2020, along with references of their papers.
期刊介绍：
Photosynthetica publishes original scientific papers and brief communications, reviews on specialized topics, book reviews and announcements and reports covering wide range of photosynthesis research or research including photosynthetic parameters of both experimental and theoretical nature and dealing with physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology on one side and leaf optics, stress physiology and ecology of photosynthesis on the other side.
The language of journal is English (British or American). Papers should not be published or under consideration for publication elsewhere.
