About the Authors
  • Part one of this survey of plant physiology begins with photosynthesis and its products. It details how plants obtain and process light and CO2, and acquire and absorb water and minerals. Part two examines plant growth hormones, cell growth and differentiation, vegetative development, photomorphogenesis, reproductive development, growth movements and reactions to environmental stresses. Third Edition Pb (1992): 0-521-42786-X

    • Whole-plant approach
    • Covers the very latest developments in plant biology
    • Covers adaptations of plants to their environments

    Helgi Öpik, University of Wales, Swansea
    Dr Öpik was Senior Lecturer in the Department of Botany at the University of Wales, Swansea until her retirement. Throughout her career she has taught Plant Physiology at all undergraduate levels, and since retirement lectures in Plant Physiology for adult education. Her research interests have included plant respiration and ultrastructure, always aiming at integration of structure and physiological function.

    Stephen A. Rolfe, University of Sheffield
    Dr Rolfe was awarded a European Molecular Biology Fellowship and undertook postdoctoral research on the phytochrome regulation of gene expression at the University of California, Los Angeles. He took up a post at the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield in 1991. His research interests include the study of photosynthesis and primary plant metabolism with a special interest in non-invasive imaging techniques.
