Reviews

"This is a superb textbook that does not require any recommendation...This book is an outstanding, modern resource of knowledge on plant physiology...The book is recommendable for all scientists and researchers working in the field of plant science. Also students find this book very useful and inspiring." - M. T. Grzesiak & A. Skooczowski, Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, Vol. 28, No.6, 2006

“With contributions from 25 distinguished professors and plant researchers from prestigious universities, research institutes, and biotechnology companies, Taiz and Zeiger have brought together a collection of fundamental discussions in basic plant physiology, which should be treasured by educators who will find it most suitable for teaching undergraduate plant physiology.” - Tzvi Tzfira, The Quarterly Review of Biology

Description

Plant Physiology, Fourth Edition continues to set the standard for textbooks in the field, making plant physiology accessible to virtually every student. Authors Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger have again collaborated with a stellar group of contributing
