Photobiology

Photobiology is the scientific study of the interactions of light and living organisms. The field includes the study of photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, visual processing, circadian rhythms, bioluminescence, and ultraviolet radiation effects. The major professional photobiology societies are the [http://www.photobiology.org American Society for Photobiology], whose official journal is [http://www.aspjournal.comPhotochemistry and Photobiology], and the [http://www.esp-photobiology.it European Society for Photobiology], whose official journal is [http://www.rsc.org/publishing/journals/PP/Index.asp Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences].
