Plant Physiology

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
The field of plant physiology includes the study of all chemical and physical processes of plants. This includes everything from molecular-level interactions of photosyntheseis, to the diffusion of water, minerals, and nutrients within the plant, to the larger-scale processes of plant growth, dormancy and reproduction. This new book covers a broad array of topics within this area of study.
