This comprehensive treatment of the physiology of the higher green plants discusses whole-plant physiology and stresses on applications in forestry, agronomy and horticulture. It features background chapters on plant organization, chemical composition and photophysiology. It also describes recent developments in cell and tissue culture, protoplast manipulation, and genetic engineering as related to biological nitrogen fixation, stress mechanisms and plant productivity. The book includes transmission and scanning electron micrographs of cellular and subcellular organization and contains references. It requires a background in plant science and chemistry.
