| Popis: | Tribute to Jean Lavorel (16 March 1928-12 January 2021), a pioneer of the 'Light Reactions of Photosynthesis'. He was known not only for his ingenuity in devising new instruments but in thoroughly analyzing all the available data theoretically and mathematically - mostly all by himself. He measured, elegantly, oxygen evolution and light given off by photosynthetic organisms, both prompt and delayed chlorophyll fluorescence. He ingeniously used these data to understand how light energy is converted to chemical energy in natural systems. We present below a summary of his life and research. |
