Abstract
The main scientific achievements of the world famous Belarusian photosynthetic school, founded by T. N. Godnev and A. A. Shlyk, in the field of the study of the processes of chlorophyll biosynthesis, biogenesis and organization of the photosynthetic apparatus in plant organisms are presented. Particular attention is paid to the modern development of concepts of the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and the structural and functional state of photosynthetic membranes in the studies of Belarusian biophysicists specializing in photosynthesis. The scientific directions of research of current interest in the field of photosynthesis in the Republic of Belarus are characterized.
