Opis

This text explores the means, processes and mechanisms by which plants change the orientation and juxtapositions of various organs in order to optimize their harvest of energy, and examines the major stumuli which provokes such responses. These interactions are re-described for higher plants through to ferns, fungi and algae, and the text constantly emphasizes the functional significance of particular growth movements to plants in their natural surroundings.

...I commend you to read this book. The book is well written and illustrated, the author using topic boxes to present information which he finds particularly intriguing...the readership of the book will range from undergraduates and postgraduates studying plant science to conscientious naturalists wishing to find out more about how plants grow. - The Times Higher Education Supplement
