This book brings together experts from different fields, who used a broad spectrum of methods to investigate the physiological and cellular adaptation of alpine plants from the tree line to the upper limits. Some articles link alpine plant physiology with physiological adaptatio…
Sequencing projects have revealed the presence of at least several hundred receptor kinases in a typical plant genome. Receptor kinases are therefore the largest family of primary signal transducers in plants, and their abundance suggests an immense signaling network that we hav…

"Secretions and emissions in biological systems play important signaling roles within the organism but also in its communication with the surrounding environment ... Not too long ago, secretions and emissions were considered biological waste products that were simply discharged …
Over the course of evolution, fungi have adapted to occupy specific niches, from symbiotically inhabiting the flora of the intestinal tract of mammals to saprophytic growth on leaf litter resting on the forest floor. In Plant Fungal Pathogens: Methods and Protocols, expert resea…

"Hopkins and Huner's Introduction to Plant Physiology is known for its excellent balance of traditional and modern topics, presented in a straightforward style - without overwhelming or excessive detail. With a focus on the fundamentals of plant physiology, Introduction to Plant…
Biocommunication of plants

fromSignaling and communication in plants
Plants are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources both above and below the ground. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take measures to …
