Description: This textbook offers plant physiology students a bold, comprehensive treatment of the subject. Plant physiology has experienced a surge of growth in recent years, as rapid progress in understanding the molecular basis of plant growth and development has revolutionized the study of plants. Many long-standing problems in the physiology of plants are now accessible to fresh attack, and Plant Physiology will provide students, instructors, and researchers with its current and satisfyingly thorough coverage.

The book begins with a detailed study of the cell as the basis for plant function, followed by the metabolic processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The book's 33 chapters also treat energy flow, differentiation, reproductive development, hormone action, regenerative potential, water relations and transport, movement, stress response, and crop physiology.

Plant Physiology features nearly 700 illustrations of exceptional clarity, uses SI units throughout, and highlights applied aspects of plant physiology processes. Mohr and Schopfer's Plant Physiology is a significant textbook that will appeal to students and instructors seeking a vigorous, comprehensive treatment.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [595]-601) and index.
