Photosynthesis research in the People's Republic of China.

Abstract:

:The first research paper on photosynthesis in China was published by T.T. Li(2) in 1929. Two photosynthesis laboratories were established in Shanghai and Beijing in the 1950s and the 1960s, respectively. A photophosphorylation 'intermediate' was discovered after the energy conversion process was separated into light and dark phases in the 1960s. Since the 1980s, research has accelerated at several different levels through efforts of a large number of scientists in China.
