Description: This book is intended for people interested in plant ecophysiology research or related sciences. It will also be useful for scientists working in forestry or agronomy. Twenty-seven chapters cover a wide variety of techniques, from electron microscopy applied to seed germination, flow cytometry applied to different measures, cell cycle studies, field and lab measures related to photosynthesis (from pigments to gas exchange and fluorescence), determination of water-related parameters, and techniques to measure phenolics, total soluble proteins, stress proteins, polyamines, proline, RubisCO activity, ATPases, ABA, and ion interchange. Each chapter includes both physiological aspects of the measured parameter and the chosen reference technique for that parameter. A special emphasis is put on allelopathy research, although the book will be valuable for the study of any kind of stress. All chapters can be read independently, and both expert and inexperienced scientists will be able to take advantage of the handbook.

Description: Recent studies that analyze the impact of various plant traits on whole-plant growth and competitive ability have provided insights into the selective pressures on characteristics such as leaf reflectivity, effective leaf size, stomatal conductance, size of photosynthetic enzyme pools, crown form, xylem structure, nitrogen fixation, and root versus shoot allocation. This research has reached an exciting stage, leading to quantitative predictions of favoured trends in these traits as a function of environmental parameters and fundamental physiological constraints. Such results reveal the importance of ecological patterns in plant form and physiology, and of evolutionary constraints on photosynthesis and primary productivity. On the Economy of Plant Form and Function summarizes the major recent advances in the economic analysis of plant behavior and suggests a framework for a unified, quantitative approach to understanding photosynthetic adaptations, their integration with other aspects of plant form, and their relationship to carbon balance and ultimate limits on plant productivity.

Description: Bioenergetics is a topic which impinges on a wide range of fundamental problems in biology. The movement of electrons and ions across and through membranes is important in fields such as energy transduction, cell biology, and cell signalling. The maturation of bioenergetics has led to cross-fertilization with other fields and this has led to both the necessity for scientists in other areas, such as clinical scientists, to learn the classical bioenergetic techniques, and the application of foreign techniques to bioenergetics, like molecular biology and electrophysiology.
This book describes the core bioenergetic techniques required in the analysis of membrane-translocating events. Topics covered include the measurement of the main fluxes and stoichiometries, membrane transport, redox states and potentials, the isolation of bioenergetic preparations for mitochondria and mitochondrial subcomponents and chloroplast subcomponents, and the reconstitution and characterization of proteins in proteoliposomes. Both established and new techniques are fully described. The book will be a valuable guide for research scientists working in the areas of mammalian and plant biochemistry and cell biology.

Description: Understanding plant dormancy is of great consequence to the sustainable and efficient procurement of food and fiber for nutritional and economic benefits. The term plant dormancy embraces the processes that bring about a programmed inability within a plant to grow and develop in spite of suitable environmental conditions. Dormancy plays a crucial part at a variety of significant stages in the life cycle of many plants. Seeds, buds and tubers are all included in this book and the relationships between dormancy, development and the environment are explored.
Papers have been contributed from leading workers in the field and have been developed from the First International Symposium on Plant Dormancy held in Oregon. The book brings together work that considers the genetic regulation of plant dormancy and its physiological and biochemical manifestations. Molecular techniques to help in the elucidation of processes and paradigms are discussed, and there are also examples of the use of modelling in the study of dormancy. Overall, the book presents a valuable review of plant dormancy for crop scientists, plant physiologists, plant molecular biologists, horticulturists and all those involved in investigating and managing plant dormancy.

Description: Over the past ten years, the orchid industry has been growing at a steady pace in South-East Asia and East Asia. In some Asian countries, orchids have become an essential export item. To maintain this progress, there is an urgent need for a book that will help the region's orchid growers in improving their cultivation and management skills, and guide new students in understanding orchid physiology. This book provides a comprehensive description of tropical orchid physiology relevant to commercial growers, research workers and graduate students. An integrated and unifying theme of tropical orchid physiology, with a clearly written factual text as well as illustrations, is presented over nine chapters. Each chapter is designed to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on a particular aspect of orchid physiology. This book complements the existing scientific literature available for improving orchid cultivation and setting a new research agenda, especially in the tropics.
