This reference explores the molecular, biochemical, functional, structural, and developmental mechanisms of pH in plant growth-examining the role of pH in plant symplasm, plant apoplasm, the rhizosphere, the ecosystem, and in plant interaction with biotic and abiotic environments.The Handbook of Plant Growth discussesthe dynamics of H+ fluxes across membranes such as the plasma membrane, tonoplast, mitochondria, and chloroplast thylakoidthe interdependence of pH dynamics and soil abiotic systemsthe effect of pH fluxes on soil-plant-microbe interactionsthe physiological properties of vacuolar proton pumpsthe maintenance and regulation of stable cytoplasmic pHcurrent methods for the imaging of intracellular PhAnalyzing the complexities of plant life from biological processes to cell organelles and molecules, the 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.
