Edited Book Title:
Plant Physiology: Mechanisms and Functions (Volume - 1)
About the Book
Plant Physiology: Mechanisms and Functions offers an in-depth exploration of the physiological processes that govern plant growth, development and survival. The book covers key topics such as photosynthesis, respiration, nutrient uptake, water transport and hormone signaling, explaining the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms. It also examines how plants adapt to environmental stressors, including drought, salinity and temperature extremes. By integrating plant physiology with environmental interactions, the book provides insights into the physiological functions that allow plants to thrive in diverse ecosystems. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers and professionals in plant biology, agriculture and environmental science.Scope
