The book uses a mixture of ecological, environmental and agricultural examples throughout in order to provide a holistic view of the topic suitable for a contemporary student audience.
Introduction to Plant Physiology became the best-selling first edition plant physiology text of the 1990's! Now, we're building on the success of prior editions to provide an even more effective...
Elementary chemistry, physics, and mathematics are used to explain and develop concepts. The first three chapters of the book describe water relations and ion transport for plant cells.
This book focuses on the fundamentals of plant physiology for undergraduate and graduate students.
The book principles of plant physiology will be found particularly useful to University students reading for pass or honours degrees.
Readers of this book will gain the information they need to stay current with the latest research being done in this essential field of study.
This new edition of Fundamentals of Plant Physiology continues to provide a comprehensive coverage on the basic principles of the subject with its focus on the concepts of plant physiological form, functions and its behaviour.
Changes for the new edition include: - A new chapter (Chapter 24) on Brassinosteroids - A completely rewritten Chapter 16 (Growth and Development) - Updates on recent developments in the light reactions and the biochemistry of ...
In addition, a series of feature boxes related to climate change are also included in this edition. An enhanced ebook with embedded self-assessment, Web Topics and Web Essays and Study Questions is available with this edition.
