Klappentext Hopkins and Hüner's Introduction to Plant Physiology is known for its excellent balance of traditional and modern topics, presented in a straight-forward style - without overwhelming or excessive detail. With a focus on the fundamentals of plant physiology, Introduction to Plant Physiology, Fourth Edition makes the connection between key concepts and experimental data. For the first time, this text is published in full color, improving an already solid illustration program.* Now in full color. For the first time, the book has a full-color illustration program to maximize student learning and understanding.* Renewed Introductory Focus. The intent of this text is to serve the introductory student in a botanical program or those schools that do not have botanical programs.* Chapters have now been placed into self-contained units. This allows faculty to use the text in whichever order of topics they prefer.* New Chapter One. Chapter One has been rewritten to reduce the detail of cell structure and present a more general review of plant organization. Zusammenfassung Introduction to Plant Physiology became the best-selling first edition plant physiology text of the 1990's! Now, we're building on the success of prior editions to provide an even more effective fourth edition. Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapter 1. Plant Cells and Water.Chapter 2.
