Transport in Plants 1979. 1 portrait. 180 figures, 33 tables. X, 468 pages ISBN 3-540-90383-6

This book provides a comprehensive descrip­tion of the transport of mineral and organic substances in plants. The basic concepts of plant biophysics, biochemistry, nutrient distribution, and physiology are presented and illustrated with well chosen examples. The text is organized in a logical progression from a discussion of the biophysical and thermo­dynamic aspects to discussion of: - materials transported, - construction and functions of membranes

and cell walls, - conceptual models of transport physiology,

regulation and control, - active transport, - energy considerations, - systems coupling, - inter-cellular and inter-organ transport, and

transport regulation in whole plants. The material is well referenced, rigorous, and discusses topics at the forefront of modem research so that the book will be a valuable addition to the professional library. The development also makes this presentation ideal for new students in the field of plant physiology, biophysics and cell biology.

Biochemistry and Physiology of Plant Hormones 1979. 164 figures, 13 tables. XII, 274 pages ISBN 3-540-90401-8

Biochemistry and Physiology of Plant Hormones is a comprehensive account of hormonal regulation of growth and seed plant development. The author summarizes current fundamental knowledge regarding the major kinds of hormones and the phytochrome pig­ment system, reflecting the steady output of important new discoveries in the field. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the growth and development of whole plants throughout ontogeny. This sets the stage for a considera­tion of hormonal regulation, specifically where it concerns auxins, gibberellins cytokinins abscisicacid and related compo~nds, ethyle~e, and phytochrome. Biochemical aspects of hormonal regulation are emphasized through­out the book. Biochemistry and Physiology of Plant Hormones will be a valuable text and major reference for advanced students as well as researchers in biology, botany, and such fields of applied botany as agronomy, forestry, and horticulture.
