pH as the Master Variable
edited by Zdenko Rengel
This reference explores the molecular, biochemical, functional, structural, and developmental mechanisms of pH in plant growth, as well as examining the role of pH in plant symplasm, plant apoplasm, the rhizosphere, the ecosystem, and in plant interaction with biotic and abiotic environments.
Handbook of Plant Growth discusses:
- dynamics of H+ fluxes across membranes such as the plasma membrane, tonoplast, mitochondria, and chloroplast thylakoid
- interdependence of pH dynamics and soil abiotic systems
- effects of pH fluxes on soil-plant-microbe interactions
- physiological properties of vacuolar proton pumps
- maintenance and regulation of stable cytoplasmic pH
- current methods for the imaging of intracellular Ph
Analyzing the complexities of plant life from biological processes to cell organelles and molecules, Handbook of Plant Growth is an excellent and authoritative reference for plant, crop, soil, and environmental scientists; plant and crop physiologists; botanists; agronomists; agriculturists; horticulturists; biochemists; foresters; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
