New Paradigms in Photobiology: Redefining Photosynthetic Photons
October 15th 12:00PM EST
Bruce Bugbee will review the emerging evidence that far-red photons (700-750) have photosynthetic activity and should be included in our definition of photosynthetic photons. This has profound implications for all of plant science.
Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
