Abstract

Govindjee is a prolific and influential writer in the arena of oxygenic photosynthesis. He is internationally revered as one of the most prominent plant scientists of the 21st century, who enhanced ‘Emerson Enhancement’. He is widely regarded for extensive collaborations with hundreds of scientists from around the World and moreover, his solely authored publications are impressive in quality and quantity—a virtue not known to many—thus, we list them here. In 2022, he was recognised for his work with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society of Photosynthesis Research <https://mcb.web.illinois.edu/news/2022-09-12/govindjee-receives-lifetime-achievement-award-photosynthesis-research>.
