Plant Physiology, 4th Edition

by Lincoln Taiz, Eduardo Zeiger

Plant Physiology, Fourth Edition continues to set the standard for textbooks in the field, making plant physiology accessible to virtually every student. 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 * 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.

Used this as a suggested book from lecturer. It is a good source of information but some of it is hard to understand I had to re-read the chapters more than 3 times. It's a decent book of your studying plants at uni level

I fell in love with botany because of this book.

"This book is truly excellent and practical, and I highly recommend it as one of the best reference books for plant biology."

This book was okay. I've read better biology textbooks, but it wasn't too terrible. There was enough material here for a master's plant biochemistry course- the excruciating detail was...excruciating. With that being said, I thought it did a good job of covering topics and was thorough if nothing else.

While Raven (Biology of Plants) is the authority in plant anatomy, Taiz is definetly the go-to book for physiology. Immense detail, from cell wall to hormones to nutrient assimilation to stress response. The writing is much more science-y though, not that fluid "lecture style"; it reads more like a compilation of papers.
