Ecology and the environment / R K Monson
Dordrecht ; New York : Springer, 2014
xxiii, 659 pages :illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm.
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 577
In this book, plant biology is considered from the perspective of plants and their surrounding environment, including both biotic and abiotic interactions. The intended audience is undergraduate students in the middle or final phases of their programs of study. Topics are developed to provide a rudimentary understanding of how plant-environment interactions span multiple spatiotemporal scales, and how this rudimentary knowledge can be applied to understand the causes of ecosystem vulnerabilities in the face of global climate change and expansion of natural resource use by human societies. In all chapters connections are made from smaller to larger scales of ecological organization, providing a foundation for understanding plant ecology. Where relevant, environmental threats to ecological systems are identified and future research needs are discussed. As future generations take on the responsibility for managing ecosystem goods and services, one of the most effective resources that can be passed on is accumulated knowledge of how organisms, populations, species, communities and ecosystems function and interact across scales of organization. This book is intended to provide some of that knowledge, and hopefully provide those generations with the ability to avoid some of the catastrophic environmental mistakes that prior generations have made.

Plant anatomy : a concept-based approach to the structure of seed plants / Richard Crang, Sheila Lyons-Sobaski, Robert Wise
Switzerland : Springer, 2019
xvi, 725 pages. : illustrations (some color) ; 27 cm.
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 571.32
Intended as a text for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students and as a potential reference, this broad-scoped resource is extensive in its educational appeal by providing a new concept-based organization with end-of-chapter literature references, self-quizzes, and illustration interpretation. The concept-based, pedagogical approach, in contrast to the classic discipline-based approach, was specifically chosen to make the teaching and learning of plant anatomy more accessible for students. In addition, for instructors whose backgrounds may not primarily be plant anatomy, the features noted above are designed to provide sufficient reference material for organization and class presentation. This text is unique in the extensive use of over 1150 high-resolution color micrographs, color diagrams and scanning electron micrographs. Another feature is frequent side-boxes that highlight the relationship of plant anatomy to specialized investigations in plant molecular biology, classical investigations, functional activities, and research in forestry, environmental studies and genetics, as well as other fields.

Plant Anatomy, Morphology and Physiology / Clive Koelling
New York : Syrawood Publishing House, 2016
265 p. : illustrations ; 29 cm.
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 571.32
Mankind has been dependent on plants since the early ages. The multiple uses of plants such as in medicine, etc. have raised their economic value as well. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of botany by exploring a diverse array of topics. Plant cytology and anatomy, taxonomy, plant diversity, ethnobotany, phytopathology, paleobotany, etc., are some of the concepts that have been thoroughly discussed. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. It is a ripe text for students and researchers of botany, agriculture, biology, etc.

Plant physiology, development and metabolism / Satish C Bhatla; Manju A Lal
Singapore : Springer, 2018.
xxxiv, 1237 pages. : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 24 cm
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 571.2
This book focuses on the fundamentals of plant physiology for undergraduate and graduate students. It consists of 34 chapters divided into five major units. Unit I discusses the unique mechanisms of water and ion transport, while Unit II describes the various metabolic events essential for plant development that result from plants' ability to capture photons from sunlight, to convert inorganic forms of nutrition to organic forms and to synthesize high energy molecules, such as ATP. Light signal perception and transduction works in perfect coordination with a wide variety of plant growth regulators in regulating various plant developmental processes, and these aspects are explored in Unit III. Unit IV investigates plants' various structural and biochemical adaptive mechanisms to enable them to survive under a wide variety of abiotic stress conditions (salt, temperature, flooding, drought), pathogen and herbivore attack (biotic interactions). Lastly, Unit V addresses the large number of secondary metabolites produced by plants that are medicinally important for mankind and their applications in biotechnology and agriculture. Each topic is supported by illustrations, tables and information boxes, and a glossary of important terms in plant physiology is provided at the end. .
