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.
