Authors Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger have again collaborated with a stellar group of contributing plant biologists to produce a current and authoritative volume that incorporates all the latest findings. Changes for the new edition include: * A new chapter (Chapter 24) on Brassinosteroids * A completely rewritten Chapter 16 (Growth and Development) * Updates on recent developments in the light reactions and the biochemistry of photosynthesis, respiration, ion transport, and water relations * In the hormone chapters, new information about signaling pathways and regulatory mechanisms * Coverage of major breakthroughs on the control of flowering, including the latest findings on the identity of the long-sought-after photoperiodic floral stimulus, "florigen." As with the Third Edition, material typically considered prerequisite for plant physiology courses, as well as advanced material, is posted at the companion website. New material has been added here as well, including new Web topics and Web essays. Average Rating:
 Rating: - I like this bookEven this is a used book, it is quite new. And the delievery rate is fine.... I like it very much. Rating: - Worth the money spentgood detailed information. Have 2nd edition, but so much has changed within the last 5-10 years that it was necessary to upgrade. Learned alot from the earlier book, well written, easy to understand, lots of good diagrams on the harder concepts. Am using this text as a review before I take my oral prelims for my dissertation. Rating: - Books for Plant BiologistsThis is a book every plant biologist should have! Basic knowledge from basic plant biology, and more... Rating: - Just what I needed!EXCELLENT book! I needed a suppliment to a Plant Phys course I was taking which didn't assign a book, purely lecture based. This book has great graphics and is easy to read! Rating:  - Nice BookWell, this is a great beginner's textbook to Plant Physiology, especially when you have very little background in the field. (I major in Physics and took Plant Physiology as an elective.) The text is quite easy to understand, and there are great diagrams to complement the text. However, the text is getting a little bit out of date, as new plant hormones and genes are being discovered at a rapid pace right now. Overall, it was a pretty nice book for someone being introduced to the field.
