| Summary |
"This book builds an integrated understanding of the central role that vascular transport plays in coordinating physiological processes at the whole plant level. In doing so it overturns the notion that vascular transport tissues are merely plumbing - essential, but dull. Although clearly essential in moving materials from one end of the plant to the other, plant vascular systems are important in allowing these fundamentally decentralized organisms to function in a coordinated manner." "Vascular Transport in Plants will be a valuable resource and reference for researchers and graduate level students in physiology, molecular biology, ecology, ecological physiology, development, and all applied disciplines related to agriculture, horticulture, forestry and biotechnology."--BOOK JACKET |
