Plant Physiology: An Introduction to the Science of Plant Life
Plant physiology is the branch of biology that studies how plants function, grow, and respond to their environment. Plants are fascinating organisms that capture light energy and produce sugars through photosynthesis, break down these sugars through aerobic cellular respiration, absorb and transport water and minerals, synthesize various organic molecules, regulate their growth and development by hormones and environmental cues, and cope with various stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature, pathogens, and herbivores. Plant physiology is an interdisciplinary field that draws from chemistry, physics, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, ecology, and agriculture.
If you are interested in learning more about plant physiology, you may want to download some PDF files that provide an overview of the essential concepts and applications of this rapidly advancing field of study. Here are some suggestions:

by S. L. Kochhar and Sukhbir Kaur Gujral. This is a detailed introduction to plant physiology that covers a wide range of topics such as water relations, mineral nutrition, metabolism, bioenergetics, photosynthesis, respiration, nitrogen metabolism, lipid metabolism, phloem transport, dormancy, germination, flowering, photoreceptors, hormones, signal transduction, ripening, senescence, cell death, abiotic and biotic stress, and secondary metabolites. The book also includes experiments related to most topics and chapters.
by Lincoln Taiz, Eduardo Zeiger, Ian M. Møller, and Angus Murphy. This is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamental principles of plant physiology as well as the latest research findings in the field. The book is organized into three major sections: transport and translocation of water and solutes; biochemistry and metabolism; and growth and development. The book also features special topics such as biotechnology, global climate change, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
by Frank Salisbury and Cleon Ross. This is a classic textbook that provides a thorough introduction to plant physiology with an emphasis on the integration of various physiological processes. The book covers topics such as water potential and water movement in plants; mineral nutrition; photosynthesis; respiration; nitrogen fixation; plant growth substances; photoperiodism; photomorphogenesis; tropisms; stress physiology; senescence; and seed germination.
These PDF files are available online for free or at a low cost. You can also find more resources on plant physiology by searching on the web or visiting your local library or bookstore. Plant physiology is a fascinating subject that will enrich your understanding of the amazing world of plants.
