Plant Physiology, Development and Metabolism /

Abstract

The writing of this book began in July 2015 and took almost 3 years of persistent reading, assimilating, and consolidating of relevant information from various sources into 34 chapters. While presenting the current concepts in an understandable manner, due emphasis has also been laid on historical aspects, highlighting how the concepts evolved. All contributors are associated with Delhi University and have firsthand experience of the problems being faced by undergraduate students of plant science discipline in assimilating meaningful information from the vast literature available in plant physiology. So, the need for an easy-to-understand, systematic, and up-to-date account of plant physiology has led to writing this book. The book is well illustrated, and all illustrations have been either drawn in original by an expert or designed from experiments in the laboratory or field. The volume has been brought into its present form through strong technical support from the very supportive bright members of the research group of Professor Bhatla.
