This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains information on a variety of topics related to "growth and development," including the method of action, physiological function, biosynthesis, and inactivation of auxins, ethylene, gibberellins, and abscisic acid. To ensure that readers are able to appreciate the intellectual intricacies contained in the book, it is written in a way that is concise and easy to understand. It includes fundamental processes such as photosynthesis, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, respiration, photoperiodism, tropisms, nastic movements, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed germination, dormancy, and the function of stomata and transpiration, both of which are components of plant water relations. Plant physiology is a subject of botany that focuses on the study of how plants function, sometimes referred to as their physiology. The study of how plants operate is the primary emphasis of this topic. The information is laid out in a way that is clear and succinct, allowing readers to easily grasp the conceptual complexity that are being discussed. Students will get familiar with the fundamental idea of plant water connection and mineral nutrition after reading this book. They will have a better understanding of the many physiological processes, such as translocation, photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen metabolism, as a result of reading this book. They will learn about a variety of fundamental metabolic processes as they are engaged in breathing. In addition to this, they will acquire knowledge about the structure, function, nomenclature, and assay of a variety of enzymes as well as plant growth regulators, including hormones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, molecular biology has infiltrated into all branches of botany. This is particularly true of plant physiology. This book attempts to provide an introduction to the metabolic and developmental physiology of higher plants from a molecular biological point of view. Starting from the heterocatalytic function of DNA the first ten chapters deal with metabolism; development is presented in the last nine, starting from the autocatalytic functions of DNA and including certain topics oriented more toward metabolic physiology. Both fields of plant physiology are so closely linked that an in tegrated presen tation of this kind seemed not only possible but desirable. In contrast to other accounts, an attempt has been made to give equal weight to metabolism and development. In particular, the so-called "sec ondary" plant materials, which are of considerable interest to the phar macist, the nutrition technologist, the plant breeder, and the agriculturalist, as well as to the biologist, are treated sufficiently. It is ob vious that the wealth of material made an illustrative style of presentation necessary. The book is intended for beginners, and so it has had, in part, to be simplified. Even so it has not been possible to write it without mentioning hypotheses that anticipate much more research. The beginner ought also to learn how working hypotheses are first postulated on the basis of cer tain facts and then must either be proved or refuted.
Download or read book Plant Physiology Development and Metabolism written by Satish C Bhatla and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 1237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the fundamentals of plant physiology for undergraduate and graduate students. It consists of 34 chapters divided into five major units. Unit I discusses the unique mechanisms of water and ion transport, while Unit II describes the various metabolic events essential for plant development that result from plants’ ability to capture photons from sunlight, to convert inorganic forms of nutrition to organic forms and to synthesize high energy molecules, such as ATP. Light signal perception and transduction works in perfect coordination with a wide variety of plant growth regulators in regulating various plant developmental processes, and these aspects are explored in Unit III. Unit IV investigates plants’ various structural and biochemical adaptive mechanisms to enable them to survive under a wide variety of abiotic stress conditions (salt, temperature, flooding, drought), pathogen and herbivore attack (biotic interactions). Lastly, Unit V addresses the large number of secondary metabolites produced by plants that are medicinally important for mankind and their applications in biotechnology and agriculture. Each topic is supported by illustrations, tables and information boxes, and a glossary of important terms in plant physiology is provided at the end.

Book excerpt: Plant Metabolism was first published in 1990 under the title of 'Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology'. This edition has been thoroughly revised, reorganised and updated, incorporating the latest developments in this exciting field. The text is divided into ten sections, each dealing with a particular aspect of plant metabolism. Section I deals with the fundamentals of the control of metabolism. This includes new chapters on protein synthesis and the molecular biology of plant development. Section II contains new chapters on the cell wall, structure, communication and defense. Sections III to IX cover all other major processes and pathways of plant metabolism and have been revised and updated to incorporate recent changes and advances in the field. The final section of the book contains new chapters on the manipulation of carbon allocation in plants and on the biochemical basis for plant improvement. Key Features: - Provides up to date information by authors who are actively engaged in research, so that each chapter presents the latest ideas in every area covered by the book- Plant biochemistry, molecular biology and physiology are integrated, rather than being pres

Book excerpt: Plant Metabolism, Second Edition focuses on the processes, principles, and methodologies involved in the metabolism of higher plants. The book first elaborates on cell structure and function, enzymes, and catabolism. Discussions focus on the control of respiration, conservation of the energy liberated in respiration, chemical pathways of respiration, enzymes in the living cell, prosthetic groups and coenzymes, protein nature of enzymes, general structure of plant cells, and osmotic behavior of cells. The manuscript then tackles anabolism and secondary plant products. Topics include phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, isoprenoid compounds, assimilation of nitrogen and sulfur, synthesis of sucrose and polysaccharides, location of the photosynthetic apparatus, influence of external factors on the rate of photosynthesis, and general nature of photosynthesis. The text takes a look at growth and differentiation, absorption, secretion, and translocation, secondary plant products, and regulation of metabolism.
