Answers to practical questions about plant growth are sought with
increasing urgency. Climate change is affecting the stability of
vegetation, the yield of many important crops, and there is a
continual need for ever more productive varieties to feed a growing
global population. Answering questions posed by these problems
requires a more integrated understanding of how plants function in
producing growth. This book shows how this understanding can be
achieved. First and foremost, plant growth must be defined as a
dynamic system with developmental, morphological, and physiological
processes responding to fluctuations in the environment due to
weather, changes in the architecture of the plant as it grows, and
the effects of plants on their environment: connecting these
processes in a complete system is the essential integration. Part I
shows, for contrasting plant types, that developmental,
morphological, and physiological processes must all be considered
to explain differences in growth and survival; Part II defines the
types of control processes occurring in plants and their different
functions; Part III illustrates the importance of plant morphology
in controlling growth; Part IV how, and to what extent, the effects
of environmental factors are controlled by plant processes
particularly as plants grow in size. A final chapter defines how a
theory for growth of a particular plant must be based on its
characteristics as a dynamic system.
