Plant Physiology

Descripción:

In this comprehensive and stimulating text and reference, the authors have succeeded in combining experimental data with current hypotheses and theories to explain the complex physiological functions of plants. For every student, teacher and researcher in the plant sciences it offers a solid basis for an in-depth understanding of the entire subject area, underpinning up-to-date research in plant physiology. The authors vividly explain current research by references to experiments, they cite original literature in figures and tables, and, at the end of each chapter, list recent references that are relevant for a deeper analysis of the topic. In addition, an abundance of detailed and informative illustrations complement the text. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened.

Sinopsis:

De la contraportada: This textbook offers plant physiology students a bold, comprehensive treatment of the subject. Plant physiology has experienced a surge of growth in recent years, as rapid progress in understanding the molecular basis of plant growth and development has revolutionized the study of plants. Many long-standing problems in the physiology of plants are now accessible to fresh attack, and Plant Physiology will provide students, instructors, and researchers with its current and satisfyingly thorough coverage. The book begins with a detailed study of the cell as the basis for plant function, followed by the metabolic processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The book's 33 chapters also treat energy flow, differentiation, reproductive development, hormone action, regenerative potential, water relations and transport, movement, stress response, and crop physiology. Plant Physiology features nearly 700 illustrations of exceptional clarity, uses SI units throughout, and highlights applied aspects of plant physiology processes. Mohr and Schopfer's Plant Physiology is a significant textbook that will appeal to students and instructors seeking a vigorous, comprehensive treatment.
