The Encyclopaedia of Plant Science is ideally suited for the use in any introductory course of Botany, Plant Biology of Horticulture. The influence of the environment on agricultural production is the primary emphasis of the text. This emphasis on the scientific principles associated with effects of environmental factors on plant development is designed to equip readers to better understanding current and emerging technologies that modify the environment for improving plant production.
The three volume encyclopaedia emphasise an environmental factors which will enable students to better understand current and environment to improve plant production. It features and covers all environmental factors, materials and presents appropriate physical definitions and explanations.
A multi-faceted reference work, the Encyclopaedia of Plant Sciences addresses the core knowledge, theories and techniques employed by plant scientists, while also concentrating on applications of this in research and in industry. It is a comprehensive yet succinct volume that covers the application of current advances in the biological sciences, through which scientists can now better produce sustainable, safe food, feed and food ingredients, and renewable raw materials for industry and society.
The encyclopaedia covers the concerns over continuing advances in the application of knowledge in the areas of ecology and plant pathology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and biotechnology, as well as the ethical issues involved in the use of the powerful techniques available to modern plant science. It is an indispensable addition to the library of anyone involved in the study of plant sciences.
