Nutrient Acquisition by Plants
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 199.99Adaptation and evolution of terrestrial plants depend, to a large extent, on their ability to acquire nutrients. This work is a modern and integrative treatment of the mechanisms controlling plant nutrient uptake and how plants respond to changes in the environment. It helps us to understand the mechanisms that govern the plant communities. more...

Infobase Publishing 2006; US$ 37.50Presenting plants as photosynthetic machines, this book follows the flow of energy and carbon through the natural processes of photosynthesis and respiration, spotlighting the role plants play in balancing the global carbon budget. more...
Plant Cells
Infobase Publishing 2011; US$ 37.50Plants may seem like simple organisms, but their complex systems for food production, reproduction, and protection make them some of the most highly adapted living things on the planet. From the arctic tundra to the tropical rainforests, plants dominate the land and produce the energy necessary to sustain life on Earth. Plant Cells investigates these... more...
Signaling and Communication in Plant Symbiosis
Springer 2011; US$ 169.99A multiplicity of biotrophic micro-organisms interact with plants in nature, forming symbiotic relationships that range from mutualism to antagonism. Microorganisms that have adopted biotrophy as a lifestyle are able to colonize the plant and often to cross the plant cell boundaries by forming intracellular structures that are the site of nutrient... more...

Abiotic Stress Responses in Plants
Springer 2011; US$ 189.99Abiotic stress causes changes in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and is responsible for reduced yield in several major crops. Therefore, the subject of abiotic stress response in plants - metabolism, productivity and sustainability - is gaining considerable significance in the contemporary world. Abiotic stress is an integral part of "climate... more...
