Author Description
Plant Physiology and Development incorporates the latest advances in plant biology, making Plant Physiology the most authoritative and widely used upper-division plant biology textbook. Up to date, comprehensive, and meticulously illustrated, the improved integration of developmental material throughout the text ensures that Plant Physiology and Development provides the best educational foundation possible for the next generation of plant biologists.This new, updated edition includes current information to improve understanding while maintaining the core structure of the book. Figures have been revised and simplified wherever possible. To eliminate redundancy, stomatal function (Chapter 10 in the previous edition) has been reassigned to other chapters. 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.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the fundamental physiological and developmental mechanisms that govern plant life, serving as a comprehensive academic resource for advanced students. The authors, a team of distinguished plant biologists, synthesize decades of research into a structured framework that bridges cellular processes with whole-plant development. By integrating molecular biology with environmental responses, the text provides a rigorous foundation for understanding how plants function, grow, and adapt to changing conditions.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Comprehensive coverage of plant cell biology, water relations, and mineral nutrition.
- Detailed analysis of developmental processes, including hormonal regulation and photomorphogenesis.
- Integration of climate change impacts on plant physiology through specialized feature boxes.
- Pedagogical tools including embedded self-assessment, web-based essays, and study questions.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
