- 摘要: This thoroughly revised and updated edition provides an accessible overview of the rapidly advancing field of plant physiology. Key topics covered include absorption of water, ascent of sap, transpiration, mineral nutrition, fat metabolism, enzymes and plant hormones. Separate chapters are included on photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen metabolism, and emphasis is placed on their contribution to food security, climate resilient farming (or climate-smart agriculture) and sustainable development. There is also a chapter on the seminal contributions of plant physiologists. Supported by the inclusion of laboratory experimental exercises and solved numerical problems, the text emphasises the conceptual framework, for example, in coverage of topics such as thermodynamics, water potential gradients and energy transformation during metabolic processes, water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Bringing together the theoretical and practical details, this text is accessible, self-contained and student-friendly.

"New findings populate the enormous literature on plant physiology, almost on a daily basis. This text is a detailed introduction to the essential concepts of this rapidly advancing field of study, to important physiological aspects related to the functioning of plants. It covers a wide range of topics including water, absorption of water, ascent of sap, transpiration, mineral nutrition, fat metabolism, enzymes and plant hormones. Photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen metabolism get discussed in separate chapters because their contribution towards food security, climate resilient farming and sustainable life needs highlighting. Unlike other books on the subject, this text lays due emphasis on the conceptual framework. Alongside its emphasis on theoretical concepts, this text details experiments relating to each topic/chapter. A structured approach including principle, procedure, discussion, results and observation, and precautions has been used to explain the experiments"--
