Description :
The Second Edition of this renowned text builds on the strengths of the first edition by integrating modern, approaches to the study of plant function, particularly in the areas of gene regulation and molecular genetics, cell biology and signal transduction and bioenergetics. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised to reflect new developments in the field and the growing importance of biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology. Contributions from 21 experts are unified in a style that made the first edition a benchmark in the teaching of Plant Physiology. The Second Edition is extensively illustrated and published in two colours throughout, with four pages of full-colour inserts.
