Up to date, comprehensive, and meticulously illustrated, the improved integration of developmental material throughout the text ensures that Plant Physiology and Development provides the best educational foundation possible for the next generation of plant biologists. This new, updated edition includes current information to improve understanding while maintaining the core structure of the book. Figures...

In plant cells, the plasma membrane is a highly elaborated structure that functions as the point of exchange with adjoining cells, cell walls and the external environment. Transactions at the plasma membrane include uptake of water and essential mineral nutrients, gas exchange, movement of metabolites, transport and perception of signaling molecules, and initial responses to external biota. Selective transporters control the rates and direction of small molecule movement across the membrane barrier and manipulate the turgor that maintains plant form and drives plant cell expansion. The plasma...

This is the first book to focus solely on the plant plasma membrane. It describes the basic mechanisms that regulate all plasma membrane functions. It also describes plasma membrane transport activity and the signaling interactions at the plasma membrane.
