Vascular Transport in Plants

Vascular Transport in Plants provides an up-to-date synthesis of new res earch on the biology of long distance transport processes in plants. It will be a valuable resource and reference for researchers and graduate l evel students in physiology, molecular biology, physiology, ecology, eco logical physiology, development, and all applied disciplines related to agriculture, horticulture, forestry and biotechnology. The book consider s long-distance transport from the perspective of molecular level proces ses to whole plant function, allowing readers to integrate information r elating to vascular transport across multiple scales. The book is unique in presenting xylem and phloem transport processes in plants together i n a comparative style that emphasizes the important interactions between these two parallel transport systems.
