《光合作用研究》是一本國際期刊，涉及光合作用的基礎和應用兩個方面。它涵蓋了光合作用研究的所有方面，包括光的吸收和發射、激發能量轉移、初級光化學、模型系統、膜組件、蛋白質復合物、電子傳輸、光磷酸化、碳同化、調控現象、分子生物學、環境和生態方面、光呼吸、細菌和藻類光合作用。該雜志發表在植物組織的所有層次的研究:分子，亞細胞，細胞，整個植物，冠層，生態系統和全球。手稿總是由該領域公認的權威進行審查。

Photosynthesis Research is an international journal dealing with both basic and applied aspects of photosynthesis. It covers all aspects of photosynthesis research, including light absorption and emission, excitation energy transfer, primary photochemistry, model systems, membrane components, protein complexes, electron transport, photophosphorylation, carbon assimilation, regulatory phenomena, molecular biology, environmental and ecological aspects, photorespiration, and bacterial and algal photosynthesis. The journal publishes research at all levels of plant organization: molecular, subcellular, cellular, whole plant, canopy, ecosystem and global. Manuscripts are always reviewed by recognized authorities in the field.
