Plants offer some of the most elegant applications of soft matter
principles in Nature. Understanding the interplay between
chemistry, physics, biology, and fluid mechanics is critical to
forecast plant behaviour, which is necessary for agriculture and
disease management. It also provides inspiration for novel
engineering applications. Starting with fundamental concepts around
plant biology, physics of soft matter and viscous fluids, readers
of this book will be given a cross-disciplinary and expert
grounding to the field. The book covers local scale aspects, such
as cell and tissue mechanics, to regional scale matters covering
movement, tropism, roots, through to global scale topics around
fluid transport. Focussed chapters on water stress, networks, and
biomimetics provide the user with a concise and complete
introduction. Edited by internationally recognised leading experts
in this field with contributions from key investigators worldwide,
this book is the first introduction to the subject matter and will
be suitable for both physical and life science readers.
