Handbook of plant and crop physiology, 2nd Ed. revised & expanded

Completely revised, this exceptional reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest discoveries in plant physiological stages and processes under both normal and stressful conditions. The emphasis remains on environmental factors, climatic changes, developmental stages, and growth regulators. The book continues to link plant and crop physiology to the production of food, feed, and medicinal compounds. The new edition of Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology contains eighty percent new material, including four new sections on cellular and molecular aspects of plant and crop physiology, plant and crop physiological responses to heavy metal concentration and agrochemicals, computer modeling and plant physiology, and plant and crop physiology under controlled conditions and in space.

Plants/Crops Growth Responses to Environmental Factors and Climatic Changes. Time, Plant Growth, Respiration, and Temperature. Role of Temperature in the Physiology of Crop Plants : Pre- and Postharvest. Crop Plant Responses to Rising CO2 and Climate Change. Physiology of Plant/Crop Growth and Developmental Stages Germination and Emergen. Influence of Source Strength on Leaf Developmental Programming. Ecophysiological Aspects of the Vegetative Propagation of Saltbush (Atriplex spp.) and Mulberry (Morus spp.)
