With this Third Edition, the authors and contributors set a new standard for textbooks in the field by tailoring the study of plant physiology to virtually every student--providing the basics for introductory courses without sacrificing the more challenging material sought by upper-division and graduate-level students.
Key pedagogical changes to the text will result in shorter book.
Material typically considered prerequisite for plant physiology courses, as well as advanced material from the Second Edition, will be removed and posted at an affiliated website, while many new or revised figures and photographs (now in full color), study questions, and glossary of key terms will be added. Despite the streamlining of the text, the new edition incorporates all important new developments in plant physiology, especially in cell. molecular, and developmental biology.
The Third Edition;s interactive Web component is keyed to textbook chapters and referenced from the book. It includes WebTopics (elaborating on selected topics discussed in the text), WebEssays (discussions of cutting-edge research topics, written by those who did the work), additional study questions (by chapter), additional references, and suggestions for further reading.
Plant Physiology textbook covers the transport and translocation of water and solutes, biochemistry and metabolism, and growth and development. Twenty-three scientists contributed to the text.
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 PhD. 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.
Eduardo Zeiger is Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of California at Los Angeles. He received a PhD in Plant Genetics at the University of California at Davis in 1970. His research interests include stomatal function, the sensory transduction of blue-light responses, and the study of stomatal acclimations associated with increase in crop yields.
About the Publisher:
Sinauer Associates: are publishers of college-level textbooks and educational multimedia in biology, psychology, neuroscience, and allied disciplines, was founded in June of 1969 by Andrew D. Sinauer. The company began its life in a basement apartment in downtown Stamford, Connecticut. Almost immediately the company successfully published an ecology board game, a population biology textbook, a reader on immunobiology, and an environmental science textbook. While developing an introductory biology textbook and an animal behavior text, the company moved to Sunderland in 1974.
Sinauer Associates has grown slowly, focusing principally on the quality of its publications. The goals continue to be to work with talented and knowledgeable authors, to create books and media that are handsomely designed and produced, and to communicate effectively with each title’s intended audience.
In November 1993, 19 years after moving to Sunderland, Sinauer Associates purchased a parcel of land on Plumtree Road and built an office building for its sole use with surrounding fields and maple groves.
Today the firm has 36 employees and 124 titles in print. Many of these titles are seminal works or texts that have captured the major segment of their market.
