Practical Textbook of Plant Physiology (1901)

By Daniel Trembly MacDougal

Book Overview

""Practical Textbook of Plant Physiology"" is a comprehensive guide to the study of the physiological processes of plants. Written by Daniel Trembly MacDougal and first published in 1901, this book covers a wide range of topics related to plant physiology, including the structure and function of plant cells, the growth and development of plants, the role of nutrients and hormones in plant growth, and the responses of plants to environmental factors such as light, temperature, and water availability.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of plant physiology. The first section provides an overview of the basic principles of plant physiology, including the chemical composition of plants, the structure of plant cells, and the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The second section covers the growth and development of plants, including the processes of cell division, differentiation, and elongation, as well as the factors that influence plant growth.The third section of the book focuses on the role of nutrients and hormones in plant growth and development. This section covers topics such as the absorption and transport of nutrients, the function of plant hormones, and the role of environmental factors in regulating plant growth.The final section of the book covers the responses of plants to environmental factors such as light, temperature, and water availability. This section includes discussions of topics such as photoperiodism, the effects of temperature on plant growth, and the mechanisms by which plants respond to water stress.Overall, ""Practical Textbook of Plant Physiology"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of plant physiology, from students and researchers to professional horticulturists and farmers. With its clear and concise explanations of complex physiological processes, this book provides a solid foundation for the study of plant growth and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
