Description
Coupled with biomechanical data, organic geochemistry and cladistic analyses utilizing abundant genetic data, scientific studies are revealing
new facets of how plants have evolved over time. This collection of papers examines these early stages of plant physiology evolution
by describing the initial physiological adaptations necessary for survival as upright structures in a dry, terrestrial environment. The
Evolution of Plant Physiology also encompasses physiology in its broadest sense to include biochemistry, histology, mechanics, development,
growth, reproduction and with an emphasis on the interplay between physiology, development and plant evolution.
Audience:
Researchers, scientists, & professionals in plant physiology, evolutionary biology, and ecology
