About

    Photobiology is the scientific study of the interactions between light and living organisms. This field explores how light impacts various biological processes, such as photosynthesis, vision, and the regulation of biological rhythms. Researchers in photobiology investigate the effects of different wavelengths of light on organisms, as well as the mechanisms by which living organisms sense and respond to light. This research area is interdisciplinary, drawing on principles from biology, physics, chemistry, and environmental science. Study in photobiology has important applications in fields such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental science.
