Description

Fundamentals of Plant Physiology emphasizes essential concepts, offering a concise, accessible, and focused approach to the topic while maintaining the high standard of scientific accuracy and pedagogical richness for which the Taiz franchise is renowned.

This concise and accessible textbook meets the needs of undergraduate students studying plant physiology and structure/function classes. This fundamentals version is a response to requests from educators for an up-to-date and accessible text, specifically tailored to students who may not have extensive training in organic chemistry, genetics, or molecular biology.

The second edition has been updated to reflect recent and remarkable advancements in plant sciences. These advancements, coupled with rapid progress in molecular breeding genome editing techniques, have enabled the development of crops that can sustain various challenges including climate change, soil degradation, and the introduction of new pathogens and pests. Fundamentals of Plant Physiology addresses these new realities and explores topics that are closely linked to these advancements.

About the Author
Lincoln Taiz is Professor Emeritus of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He received his Ph.D. in Botany from the University of California at Berkeley in 1971. Dr. Taiz's main research focus has been on the structure, function, and evolution of vacuolar H+-ATPases. He has also worked on gibberellins, cell wall mechanical properties, metal tolerance, auxin transport, and stomatal opening.

Ian Max M?ller is Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Aarhus University, Denmark. He received his Ph.D. in Plant Biochemistry from Imperial College, London, UK. He has worked at Lund University, Sweden and, more recently, at Ris? National Laboratory and the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen, Denmark. Professor M?ller has investigated plant respiration throughout his career. His current interests include turnover of reactive oxygen species and the role of protein oxidation in plant cells.

Angus Murphy has been Professor and Chair of the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland since 2012. He earned his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1996 and moved to Purdue University as an assistant professor in 2001. Dr. Murphy studies ATP-Binding Cassette transporters, the regulation of auxin transport, and the mechanisms by which transport proteins are regulated in plastic plant growth.

Wendy A. Peer is Associate Professor of Plant Biology and Chemical Ecology in the Department of Environmental Science and Technology at the University of Maryland. She received her Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Wendy Peer's research focuses on developmental, biotic, and abiotic interactions that affect seedling establishment and on identifying novel applications of microbial pairing with plant-based foods to enhance food quality and nutrition.
