Plant Physiology and Development incorporates the latest advances in plant biology, making Plant Physiology the most authoritative and widely used upper-division plant biology textbook. 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 have been revised and simplified wherever possible. To eliminate redundancy, stomatal function (Chapter 10 in the previous edition) has been reassigned to other chapters. In addition, a series of feature boxes related to climate change are also included in this edition.

An enhanced ebook with embedded self-assessment, Web Topics and Web Essays and Study Questions is available with this edition.

Reviews for Plant Physiology and Development

An excellent textbook for use in both plant physiology and plant biochemistry courses. The book presents concepts in language undergraduates readily grasp, with excellent illustrations, as well as great digital resources for the instructors. - Joshua Blakeslee The integration of climate change is a huge bonus to me and one that I think will make the material more relevant to students. - Danielle Way Well organized description of the minerals needed by plants, why they are needed, and a good review of uptake and implications of this to the larger picture or general plant adaptions envinmental concerns. - Joseph Sullivan It is an excellent textbook for introductory plant physiology that covers all most all aspects of plant growth nd development. - Susheng Gan
