Description
Vascular Transport in Plants provides an up-to-date synthesis of new research on the biology of long distance transport
processes in plants. It will be a valuable resource and reference for researchers and graduate level students in physiology, molecular
biology, physiology, ecology, ecological physiology, development, and all applied disciplines related to agriculture, horticulture, forestry
and biotechnology. The book considers long-distance transport from the perspective of molecular level processes to whole plant function,
allowing readers to integrate information relating to vascular transport across multiple scales. The book is unique in presenting xylem
and phloem transport processes in plants together in a comparative style that emphasizes the important interactions between these two
parallel transport systems.
Audience
Plant physiologists, plant biologists, plant ecophysiologists, research foresters, horticulturalists, agronomists, and paleontologists.
