Opis

Part one of this survey of plant physiology begins with photosynthesis and its products. It details how plants obtain and process light and CO2, and acquire and absorb water and minerals. Part two examines plant growth hormones, cell growth and differentiation, vegetative development, photomorphogenesis, reproductive development, growth movements and reactions to environmental stresses. Third Edition Pb (1992): 0-521-42786-X
