Physiology and Behaviour of Plants looks at plants and how they sense
and respond to their environment. It takes the traditional plant
physiology book into a new dimension by demonstrating how the
biochemical observations underlie the behaviour of the plant. In many
ways the book parallels courses studied at university on animal
physiology and behaviour. The plant has to meet the same challenges as
an animal to survive, but overcomes these challenges in very different
ways. Students learn to think of plants not only as dynamic organisms,
but aggressive, territorial organisms capable of long-range
communication. Hallmark features include: Based on a successful course
that the author has run for several years at Sussex University, UK
Relates plant biochemistry to plant function Printed in four colour
throughout Includes a wealth of illustrations and photographs that
engages the reader’s attention and reinforce key concepts explored
within the text Presents material in a modern ‘topic’ based
approach, with many relevant and exciting examples to inspire the
student An accompanying web site will include teaching supplements
This innovative textbook is the ultimate resource for all students in
biology, horticulture, forestry and agriculture. Companion website
