Produktbeschreibung
The second edition of Biochemistry and Physiology of Plant Hormones has been substantially improved, not only has every chapter been revised and updated, but a new chapter on brassinosteriods has been added. This richly illustrated textbook is intended primarily for intermediate-level and advanced courses concerned with hormonal regulation of growth and development of seed plants including the hormonal regulation of flowering as well as the role of the phytochrome pigment system in the regulation of growth and development generally. There are frequent citations of the literature in the text and an even more extensive list of references at the end of each chapter, which will serve as an introduction to the voluminous historical and contemporary literature on each topic.
Biochemistry and Physiology oj Plant Hormones is intended primarily as a textbook or major reference for a one-term intermediate-level or advanced course dealing with hormonal regulation of growth and development of seed plants for students majoring in biology, botany, and applied botany fields such as agronomy, forestry, and horticulture. Additionally, it should be useful to others who wish to become familiar with the topic in relation to their principal student or professional interests in related fields. It is assumed that readers will have a background in fundamental biology, plant physiology, and biochemistry. The dominant objective of Biochemistry and Physiology oj Plant Hor mones is to summarize, in a reasonably balanced and comprehensive way, the current state of our fundamental knowledge regarding the major kinds of hormones and the phytochrome pigment system. Written primarily for students rather than researchers, the book is purposely brief. Biochemical aspects have been given priority intentionally, somewhat at the expense of physiological considerations. There are extensive citations of the literature-both old and recent-but, it is hoped, not so much documentation as to make the book difficult to read. The specific choices of publications to cite and illustrations to present were made for different reasons, often to illustrate historical develop ment, sometimes to illustrate ideas that later proved invalid, occasionally to exemplify conflicting hypotheses, and most often to illustrate the current state of our knowledge about hormonal phenomena.
