Fundamentals of Plant Physiology

Description

Fundamentals of Plant Physiology is a distillation of the most important principles and empirical findings of plant physiology. Intended for students seeking an accessible introduction to the field, Fundamentals provides the same high standard of scientific accuracy and pedagogical richness for which Taiz et al.'s popular Plant Physiology and Development, sixth edition, is renowned, but in a more concise format and pitched at a slightly lower level. Instructors wishing to focus their lectures on basic plant physiology, as opposed to developmental genetics, should find this new streamlined and simplified text ideally suited for their courses.This title is available as an eBook.

"Visually, with the single-column format and some excellent new figures, Fundamentals of Plant Physiology is very appealing. The running glossary may be my favourite feature and I know my students will find this very helpful. Additional introductory information is included in the chapters that will help get my students on the same page before we dive into brand new material. Chapters that I had generally either quickly glossed over or skipped altogether have been removed, making this streamlined version a better representation of the material I consider important for my students to learn in my course. I will feel very comfortable using this textbook in my course in the future." --Barb Vanderbeld, Queen's University
