Plant Physiology, 3rd ed

by Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger

Hardcover: 690 pages
Publisher: Sinauer Associates; 3 edition (Aug 30 2002)
Language: English
ISBN: 0878938230

Book Description
With this Third Edition, the authors and contributors set a new
standard for textbooks in the field by tailoring the study of plant
physiology to virtually every studentproviding the basics for
introductory courses without sacrificing the more challenging
material sought by upper-division and graduate-level students.
Key pedagogical changes to the text will result in a shorter book.
Material typically considered prerequisite for plant physiology
courses, as well as advanced material from the Second Edition,
will be removed and posted at an affiliated Web site, while many
new or revised figures and photographs (now in full color), study
questions, and a glossary of key terms will be added. Despite the
streamlining of the text, the new edition incorporates all the
important new developments in plant physiology, especially in cell,
molecular, and developmental biology.
The Third Edition's interactive Web component is keyed to
textbook chapters and referenced from the book. It includes
WebTopics (elaborating on selected topics discussed in the text),
WebEssays (discussions of cutting-edge research topics, written by
those who did the work), additional study questions (by chapter),
additional references, and suggestions for further reading.

Book Info
Plant Physiology textbook covers the transport and translocation of
water and solutes, biochemistry and metabolism, and growth and
development. Twenty-three scientists contributed to the text.
