Description
Emphasizing the physical and technological aspects of plant energetics, this comprehensive book covers a significant interdisciplinary
research area for a broad range of investigators. Plant Energetics presentsthe thermodynamics of energy processes in
plants, their interconnection and arrangement, and the estimation of intrinsic energy needs of the plant connected with performing various
physiological functions. The book also demonstrates the role of electrical and electrochemical processes in the plants life cycle.
Plant
Energetics incorporates such diverse themes as thermodynamics, biophysics, and bioelectrochemistry with applications in horticulture
and ecology. It also discusses the roles and mechanisms of both quantum and thermophysical processes of theconversion of solar energy
by plants, including photosynthesis and long distance transport.
Comprehensive details of value to basic and applied researchers dealing
with photosynthesis, agriculture, horticulture, bioenergetics, biophysics, photobiology, and plant physiology make Plant Energetics
an informative, one-stop resource that willsave time and energy in your search for the latest information.
Audience
Upper division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in plant physiology, biophysics, bioelectrochemistry, biochemistry, and ecology.
