Rezensionen

...an up-to-date and lucid introduction to the subject for undergraduates and graduates... Agro lavoiser; ... a refreshingly up-to-date account of the field... the text fills a very important gap in the literature... a well written text aimed at advanced undergraduates, but more realistically at researchers who will find it an invaluable reference of great practical help in their work. K. Killam; the book is very comprehensive, easy to understand, and a pleasure to read with helpful photographs, figures and tables - Journal of Plant Physiology
