Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Physiology: With Special Reference to Plant Production In the preparation of this text and reference book, the writer has attempted to consider both the student and the general reader, interested alike in the fundamental requirements of plants and in plant production. Throughout biological study at the present time increased emphasis is placed on the activities and responses of organisms. It is instruction in this type of biological phenomena that is rapidly becoming a part of the cultural side of education, and the practical value of such knowledge is every day being demonstrated, - notably in agriculture and medicine. Plant physiology finds its practical application in plant production, to which it stands in much the same relation as does industrial chemistry to general manufacturing. It is somewhat strange, therefore, to find that as a separate course plant physiology is not yet offered in some of the colleges whose purpose is primarily to train persons for practical or rural pursuits. Such students require some fundamental work, and few will become specialists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Plant physiology is an experimental science, and its concepts are very rapidly changing through applications from chemical biology, cytochemical, fluorometric, biochemical and molecular techniques, and metabolomic and proteomic analysis. Consequently, this branch of modern plant biology has experienced significant generation of new information in most areas. The newer concepts so derived are being also rapidly put into applications in crop physiology. Novel molecules, such nanourea, nitric oxide, gaseous signalling molecules like hydrogen sulphide, are rapidly finding significant applications among crop plants. This textbook, therefore, brings forth an inclusive coverage of the field contained in 35 chapters, divided into five major units. It serves as essential reading material for post-graduate and undergraduate students of botany, plant sciences, plant physiology, agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences.

Download or read book Plant Physiological Ecology written by H. Lambers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth, reproduction and geographical distribution of plants are profoundly influenced by their physiological ecology: the interaction with the surrounding physical, chemical and biological environments. This textbook is notable in emphasizing that the mechanisms underlying plant physiological ecology can be found at the levels of biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology and whole-plant physiology. At the same time, the integrative power of physiological ecology is well-suited to assess the costs, benefits and consequences of modifying plants for human needs, and to evaluate the role of plants in ecosystems.Plant Physiological Ecology begins with the primary processes of carbon metabolism and transport, plant-water relations, and energy balance. After considering individual leaves and whole plants, these physiological processes are then scaled up to the level of the canopy. Subsequent chapters discuss mineral nutrition and the ways in which plants cope with nutrient-deficient or toxic soils. The book then looks at patterns of growth and allocation, life-history traits, and interactions between plants and other organisms. Later chapters deal with traits that affect decomposition of plant material and with plant physiological ecology at the level of ecosystems and global environmental processes.Plant Physiological Ecology features numerous boxed entries that provide extended discussions of selected issues, a glossary, and numerous references to the primary and review literature. The significant new text is suitable for use in plant ecology courses, as well as classes ranging from plant physiology to plant molecular biology.
