"Physiology and Behaviour of Plants" looks at plants and how they
sense and respond to their environment. It takes the traditional
plant physiology book into a new dimension by demonstrating how the
biochemical observations underlie the behaviour of the plant. In
many ways the book parallels courses studied at university on
animal physiology and behaviour. The plant has to meet the same
challenges as an animal to survive, but overcomes these challenges
in very different ways. Students learn to think of plants not only
as dynamic organisms, but aggressive, territorial organisms capable
of long-range communication.
