Von wegen unbeweglich! Pflanzen sind die großen Reisenden auf unserer Welt.

Sie machen den Blauen Planeten zur grünen Insel im Weltall. Die faszinierende, verblüffende Geschichte der größten Gruppe von »Lebewesen«, die wir als solche gar nicht wahrnehmen und (noch) nicht hinreichend wertschätzen. Am weitesten verbreitet auf unserem Planeten sind nicht Menschen, sondern Pflanzen, deren Intelligenz uns das Leben und Überleben überhaupt ermöglicht.
Sie verwandeln Wüsten in blühende Kontinente, sie breiten sich auch in den entlegensten Gegenden der...

Roots represent half of the plant body - and arguably the more interesting half. Despite its obvious importance for the whole plant, until recently our knowledge of the root apparatus was very limited, mostly due to the inadequacy of the techniques available. Recent advances in the visualization and measurement of roots have resulted in significant progress in our understanding of root architecture, growth and behaviour. In this book international experts highlight the most advanced techniques, both lab and field methods, and discuss them in detail. Measuring Roots combines academic...

This second edition of a well-received book focuses on rhythmic behaviour in plants, which regulates all developmental and adaptive responses and can thus be regarded as quintessential to life itself. The chapters provide a timely update on recent advances in this field and comprehensively summarize the current state of knowledge concerning the molecular and physiological mechanisms behind circadian and ultradian oscillations in plants, their physiological implications for growth and development and adaptive responses to a dynamic environment. Written by a diverse group of leading...
