Advances in Plant Physiology

This book is designed to provide up-to-date texts for all students and teachers of all levels. The emphasis of the text is on the ‘whole plant’ aspects of physiology. The rapid pace at which biological knowledge has grown in the last few decades have now necessitated a very thorough writing of large sections of the book, and the task has been quite challenging in the face of an accumulation of facts that on occasions has seemed quite overwhelming. The science of plant physiology is never static but always changing as new facts are discovered and fresh concept developed. Many aspects of practical agriculture can benefit from more intensive research in plant physiology to the solution of practical problems and other fields give an added dimension to the already recognized importance of research in basic plant physiology. This book will serve as an excellent reference material and practical guide for scientists, teachers, students, planners and administrators interested in plant physiology, botany and agriculture science.
