Description

The second edition of this popular work provides a comprehensive account of all aspects of stomatal biology. The substantially revised text is thoroughly up to date and well illustrated with numerous line illustrations, photographs and comprehensive tables. The theory of gaseous diffusion through stomata is reviewed in a new chapter and sections on signal perception and transduction, guard cell ionic relations and guard cell metabolism have been added. A concluding chapter reviews the genetics and molecular biology of stomata. This work provides a comprhensive reference text which will appeal to advanced students, post-graduates and lecturers in plant physiology.

Table of Contents

Introduction. The distribution of stomata. The structure and development of stomata. The mechanics of stomatal movements. The theory of gas diffusion through stomata. Stomatal responses to environmental factors. The influcence of hormones and other naturally occurring compounds on stomatal behaviour. Ionic relations of stomatal movements and signal transduction by guard cells. Guard cell metabolism. Recent developments and future research.
