Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology

Description

This totally revised and expanded reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest discoveries in plant physiological stages and processes under both normal and stressful conditions-emphasizing environmental factors, climatic changes, developmental stages, and growth regulators as well as linking plant and crop physiology to the production of food, feed, and medicinal compounds.Contains 80% new material-including four new sections on cellular and molecular aspects of plant and crop physiology, plant and crop physiological responses to heavy metal concentration and agrichemicals, computer modeling in plant physiology, and plant and crop physiology under controlled conditions and in space!With contributions from over 70 international experts, the Second Edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology discussesrecent investigations on specific plant and crop physiological responses under normal as well as salt, drought, and environmentally stressful conditionsnovel computer simulation techniques for plant and crop allocation processesmodern advances in plant genetics and plant growth hormones future prospects for plant and human life support on other planetsand more!Offering an encyclopedic list of nearly 7000 contemporary references-over 2000 more than the first edition-and over 300 useful tables, equations, drawings, photographs, and micrographs, the Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology, Second Edition, is an up-to-date resource for plant and crop physiologists; plant, crop, soil, and environmental scientists; botanists; agronomists; agriculturists; horticulturists; biochemists; foresters; plant culturists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
