Completely updated and revised, this bestselling book continues to explain the growth and developmental processes involved in the formation of vegetables. Since the publication of the successful first edition significant discoveries, particularly in the area of molecular biology, have deepened and broadened our knowledge and understanding of these processes. This new edition brings the topic up-to-date and is presented over two sections: the first provides general knowledge on germination, transplanting, flowering, the effects of stress and modelling, whilst the second section details the physiology of specific crops or crop groups.
This book mainly focuses on growth and developments of vegetables.
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.
