Plant Physiology
EUR 71,80
Weihnachten, Geburtstag oder vorm Diplom. - Wunderbare Vorbereitung für Diplomprüfungen im Pflanzenbereich und somit ganz oben auf der Bücherliste. Auf den Lernstoff, der in den ersten zwei Einheiten - Stofftransport (I) und Pflanzenbiochemie (II) - des tendenziell biochemisch ausgelegten Werkes vermittelt wird, baut der dritte Part auf. Hier spiegeln detaillierte Abhandlungen u.a. zu den fünf klassischen Phytohormonen einen der aktuellsten Stände im Gebiet Entwicklungsbiologie (III) wieder und erstrecken sich bis in den Bereich der Anwendungen. Klare vollfarbige Zeichnungen, faszinierende Bilder und ein hilfreiches Schlagwortglossar. Neben zwei ausschliesslich digital verfügbaren Internetkapiteln soll das Lehrbuch die Print- und On-Line-Medien verzahnen, dies geschieht mit zahlreichen Verweisen in Buch und Internetpräsenz. Nicht billig, aber Top-Relation in Sachen Preis, Leistung und Qualität. Nur zu empfehlen.
an excellent review on plant physiology for students - I teach plant physiology at the University of paris. I have bought the first edition of this boor five years ago and I have bought the new one about one month ago. It was a concise, clear and well up to date documented review. I appreciate particularly all the section on bioenergetic and transport in solutes in relation with morphology and development of the plant. I appreciate also very much the part on the influence of the light either for the classical phytochrome or to the appartition of the effect on the blue light. Scheme are simple, but precise and well descibed. This book was a very good intermediate between books of pure biochemistry or pure morphology.All information is integrated and well discussed. In the domain of the plant physiology I think really on my knowledge that this book was actually, in the domain of the plant physiology, one of the best review, and perhaps the better.
It is a useful tool for understanding plant physiology. - I teach plant physiology for biological sciences students in Bogotá, Colombia. I think this book is excelent. Also, it is written in a comprehensive English, and explains clearly the principles of plant physiology for everyboby including Spanish speakers. It is a very good way to motivate undergraduate students with the knowledge in plant physiology. I would liKe to congratulate the authors.
New Edition - The Second Edition of Plant Physiology builds on the strengths of the First Edition by integrating modern, state-of-the-art approaches to the study of plant function, particularly in the areas of gene regulation and molecular genetics, cell biology and signal transduction, and bioenergetics, into the framework of traditional plant physiology. The Second Edition also reflects the growing importance and prominence of biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology in the field of plant physiology. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised to reflect new developments in the field. In addition, several new chapters have been added, including chapters on Cell Walls, Growth, Development and Differentiation, and Blue Light Responses. A new chapter entitled Gene Expression and Signal Transduction provides a summary of current models for the control of gene expression and cell signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, parti! cularly those topics relevant to plants. As in the First Edition, expert contributing authors provide authoritative accounts that include important recent advances in their fields. These contributions are integrated into the unified style that made the First Edition a benchmark in the teaching of Plant Physiology. The Second Edition is extensively illustrated and will be published in two colors.
Excelent. Very clearly written. Good figures. - Nothing else to say. Is there a new edition?
