This latest edition of The Physiology of Flowering Plants has been completely updated to cover the explosion
of interest in plant biology. A whole-plant approach has been used to produce an integrated view of plant
function, covering both the fundamentals of whole plant physiology and the latest developments in molecular
biology. New developments in molecular techniques are explained within practical applications such as genetically
modified plants. The book further examines:
- photosynthesis, respiration, plant growth and development
- nutrition, water relations, photomorphogenesis and stress physiology
- function, with particular attention to adaptations to different habitats.
Each chapter is fully referenced with suggestions for complementary reading including references to
original research papers. The Physiology of Flowering Plants is an ideal textbook for undergraduate
and postgraduate courses in plant biology.
- Whole-plant approach
- Covers the very latest developments in plant biology
- Covers adaptations of plants to their environments
