About The Book

Plant Physiology is a sub-discipline of Botany afraid with the performance, or physiology, of plants. Intimately associated grounds include Plant Morphology, Plant Ecology, Phytochemistry, Cell Biology, and Molecular Biology. This text can be used as the basis for a conventional recitation course, or as a background source of information for student reading in connection with lecture discussion courses. There is a continuity of presentation from chapter to chapter which especially adapts the book to such a usage. We have attempted throughout the text to bring into bold relief the fundamental principles of plant physiology rather than to present only anencyclopedic compilation of undigested and sometimes contradictory facts. Finally, plant physiology comprises the study of how plants respond to conditions and difference in the environment, a field known as environmental physiology. Stress from water loss, changes in air chemistry, or crowding by other plants can lead to changes in the way a plant roles. Hoped that this book is highly useful for students, teachers and scientists engaged in the field of plant physiology, botany and plant science.
