Plant physiology and Biochemistry

The book covers a Absorption and translocation of water, Loss of water
from plants Phloem transport, Auxins Gibberellin, Phytochromes, Seed
germination and Dormancy.
Each section is supported by clear definitions, descriptions, and examples,
making the content accessible to students at different levels of learning.
This section lays the groundwork by discussing the structure of plant cells,
organelles, and their roles in plant metabolism. It introduces key concepts
like enzymes, hormones, and proteins essential for plant growth and
function.
This section provides a deep dive into plant development, focusing on
processes like seed germination, vegetative growth, flowering, and
fruiting. The role of plant hormones such as auxins, cytokinins,
gibberellins, and abscisic acid is also explored.
An increasingly important topic, this section addresses how plants respond
to environmental stressors such as drought, salinity, temperature extremes,
and biotic stresses. It emphasizes the biochemical pathways involved in
stress adaptation and resilience
A critical part of the book, this section focuses on the metabolic pathways
within plants, including carbohydrate, protein, lipid, and nitrogen
metabolism. It also highlights the enzymatic regulation and the
biochemical pathways involved in secondary metabolism.
