Photoperiodism and Vernalization are fascinating areas in plant physiology. The phenomena were conceived as the expedients to switch on flowering in plants but with passage of time, divulged intricacies establishing as exponents to a wider range of functional processes in them. Despite much o the complexities on the living processes in plants have been discovered by delving into these areas, much remains to be unraveled. The present title has brought forward the diverse features of these disciplines to the students and budding scientists of plant physiology in a simplified form to arouse their interest and gain ground for deeper understanding into these spheres.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR B.C. Mazumdar
Prof. Bibhas Chandra Mazumdar has been in the profession of teaching and supervising researches on fruit culture, growth and developmental physiology of crop plants and biochemistry of fruit crops in some Indian Universities since the year 1971 after his doctoral degree on biochemistry of growth, flowering and fruiting of mango cultivars. Major areas of his researches in teaching career include growth and developmental aspects of fruit crops, pectic metabolism, plant physiology, papaya latex and on less-exploited minor fruit crops grown in India. In the area on physiology and biochemistry of fruit growth, a number of his research contributions are considered to be of fundamental importance. He has so far to his credit 5 text books on fruit crops and horticulture and 129 research papers published in the journals of India, U.S.A. and U.K. as well as 17 scientific articles brought out in the magazines of India and the U.K. in the same areas.
