Plant Physiology and Development
Author:Lincoln Taiz, Eduardo Zeiger, Ian Max Moller, Angus Murphy
Edition:6th Edition
Plant function and growth are explored through the integration of cellular processes, metabolism, and environmental interactions. It examines how plants regulate water, nutrients, and energy through photosynthesis, respiration, and transport systems, while also addressing development, signaling, and responses to environmental stresses that shape plant survival and adaptation.
