Essential Plant Biology

This exciting new textbook presents current knowledge of plant biology, highlighting important topics for future development and research. Starting with the evolutionary history of plants, the book addresses the dynamic nature and regulation of plant genomes, the conversion of products of photosynthesis into the vast diversity of molecules that comprise the plant body, and the nature and coordination of growth, development, and reproduction of the plant. The book next describes how these fundamental properties of plants are impacted by their surroundings by the physical environment including light, day length, and temperature, and by interactions with other organisms such as pests and pathogens, pollinators, and microbes that supply nutrients. Finally, the book outlines the history, importance, and future of human interactions with plants. Key features: Carefully designed for, and written at, a level accessible to all undergraduate biologists who have a grounding in the fundamentals of molecular biology and biochemistry, Essential Plant Biology is also a valuable resource for postgraduates in plant research. For lecturers, the breadth of coverage and clear organization facilitate the teaching of both complete courses in plant science and more focused topics in plant biology. This exciting new textbook presents current knowledge of plant biology, highlighting important topics for future development and research.
