All lives rely on photosynthesis. It provides energy and carbohydrates not only to photosynthetic organisms themselves but also to heterotrophic organisms through the food web. It is also one of the most important processes in global carbon cycling. Improvement of photosynthesis is a key to solving problems that human society faces. Crop management and breeding of cultivars with higher photosynthetic activities may contribute to increasing crop yields, which are needed to meet rapid population growth. Enhancement of carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems may be one of the effective ways for a low-carbon economy. The spatial scale of photosynthetic measurements varies greatly among target organisms. The gas exchange method (CO2 or O2) is the most reliable and frequently used. From cellular (or chloroplast) to leaf and individual scales, samples are put into or clamped with an assimilation chamber, and gas exchange is directly determined with an infrared gas analyzer or O2 electrode. In particular, commercial portable gas exchange measurement systems can be used for leaf photosynthesis determination even in the field. For vegetation scales, the eddy covariance method directly determines CO2 exchange between the vegetation and atmosphere using an infrared gas analyzer and anemometer installed on a flux tower. However, these methods have some shortcomings.First, most of these methods have some influence on the target. For example, the leaf gas exchange system needs to clamp the target leaf, which may physically damage the leaf. Second, the measurement is often time-consuming as it waits for the gas exchange in the system to become stable. Third, such methods hardly identify heterogeneity of photosynthetic activity in the system. Such shortcomings are critical, especially when we want to identify individuals that have unusual photosynthetic activity in agricultural field management, mutant screening, or breeding. Furthermore, as the target scale increases, determining its gas exchange becomes technically more difficult. Optical observations are an alternative method to assess photosynthesis without the problems mentioned above. As the photosynthetic apparatus involves various pigment molecules, each of which has unique absorption spectra, reflectance spectra from plants include various information related to photosynthesis. Furthermore, the yield of fluorescence emitted by photosystem II (PSII) chlorophylls (Chl fluorescence) is very informative because it changes depending on the status of PSII; it decreases when the energy allocation to PSII photochemical reaction (photochemical quenching) or heat dissipation increases (non-photochemical quenching). Various methods have been developed to assess photosynthetic status from optical information, such as the pulseamplitude modulation (PAM) system and the Fraunhofer line depth method. Nowadays, we can obtain photosynthetic information by optical observations at various spatial scales using cameras installed on a microscope observation tower, unmanned aerial vehicle, airplane, satellite, etc. Time scale is also an important aspect of obtaining different information. Short-term analyses are useful to know the status of the photosynthetic apparatus. There are multiple photosynthetic processes that are inactive in the dark.
