Elementary chemistry, physics, and mathematics are used to explain and develop concepts. The first three chapters of the book describe water relations and ion transport for plant cells.

The text provides a broad explanation of the physiology for plants (their functions) from seed germination to vegetative growth, maturation, and flowering.

Bringing together the theoretical and practical details, this text is accessible, self-contained and student-friendly.

In addition, an abundance of detailed and informative illustrations complement the text.

The book uses a mixture of ecological, environmental and agricultural examples throughout in order to provide a holistic view of the topic suitable for a contemporary student audience.

This book focuses on the fundamentals of plant physiology for undergraduate and graduate students.

Readers of this book will gain the information they need to stay current with the latest research being done in this essential field of study.

The book principles of plant physiology will be found particularly useful to University students reading for pass or honours degrees.

This new edition of Fundamentals of Plant Physiology continues to provide a comprehensive coverage on the basic principles of the subject with its focus on the concepts of plant physiological form, functions and its behaviour.
