Publisher's Synopsis
A leader in its field, Plant Physiology is well known for its up-to-date accuracy and balanced coverage. The fourth edition has been revised with a thoroughness that has become these authors' trademark. Every chapter has been updated and most have been reviewed by specialist reviewers to ensure that this edition offers current thinking on every subtopic of plant physiology. There is more emphasis on control by hormone receptors and differential tissue sensitivity. Evidence is presented for the role of phosphoinositide cycle, calcium-calmodulin and protein kinases and new mechanisms are presented for auzin degradation for example.;This book should be of interest to undergraduates and diploma students on plant biology courses.
