Resumen: "New findings populate the enormous literature on plant physiology, almost on a daily basis. This text is a detailed introduction to the essential concepts of this rapidly advancing field of study, to important physiological aspects related to the functioning of plants. It covers a wide range of topics including water, absorption of water, ascent of sap, transpiration, mineral nutrition, fat metabolism, enzymes and plant hormones. Photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen metabolism get discussed in separate chapters because their contribution towards food security, climate resilient farming and sustainable life needs highlighting. Unlike other books on the subject, this text lays due emphasis on the conceptual framework. Alongside its emphasis on theoretical concepts, this text details experiments relating to each topic/chapter. A structured approach including principle, procedure, discussion, results and observation, and precautions has been used to explain the experiments"-- Provided by publisher.
