This book provides current information on synthesis of plant hormones, how their
concentrations are regulated, and how they modulate various plant processes. It details
how plants sense and tolerate such factors as drought, salinity, and cold temperature, factors
that limit plant productivity on earth. It also explains how plants sense two other environmental
signals, light and gravity, and modify their developmental patterns in response to those signals.
This book takes the reader from basic concepts to the most up-to-date thinking on these
topics
- Provides clear synthesis and review of hormonal and environmental regulation of plant
growth and development
- Contains more than 600 illustrations
- supplementary information on techniques and/or related topics of interest
- Single-authored text provides uniformity of presentation and integration of the subject matter
- References listed alphabetically in each section
