Summary

I received my PhD in Biology in 1987 under Govindjee’s supervision. Since then Govindjee and I have kept close contact with each other, no matter where I went. Here, I present Govindjee’s publications in photosynthesis, beginning in 1970, just after he became a full Professor of Biophysics and Botany, at the University of Illinois at Urbana--Champaign, and I end this description with his publications in 1999 when he retired as Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Plant Biology. The ∼30-year period, I have covered here, has been broken in three sections: (I): 1970—1979; (II) 1980—1989, and (III) 1990—1999.
