Stomatal Physiology
Stomatal Physiology by Paul Gordon Jarvis, published by Cambridge University Press on August 13, 1981, is a comprehensive volume that presents a collection of papers focused on the anatomy, physiology, and action of stomata. This edition, consisting of 295 pages, is designed for students of botany and plant science, as well as related fields such as agriculture, forestry, and horticulture, catering to both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Readers will find an in-depth exploration of various topics related to stomatal function, including the structure and development of stomata, measurement techniques for stomatal aperture and conductance, and the metabolic processes of guard cells. The book also addresses the responses of stomata to stimuli such as light, carbon dioxide, and humidity, alongside discussions on the behavior of stomata in natural environments and their role in transpiration and photosynthesis. This scholarly work serves as a valuable resource for those studying plant, environmental, and cell physiology.
Official synopsis Publisher
This volume contains a collection of papers on the anatomy, physiology and action of stomata by experts in the field, presented in a form suitable for students of botany and plant science, and related subjects such as agriculture, forestry, and horticulture, at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. Special care has been taken to ensure that the book can be used as a text for undergraduate courses in plant, environmental and cell physiology at a reasonably advanced level. It provides an up-to-date assessment of our knowledge of stomata and the articles include: the structure and development of stomata; the measurement of stomatal aperture and conductance; the ion exchanges and metabolism of guard cells; work on isolated guard-cell protoplasts; the responses of stomata to a wide range of stimuli, including light, carbon dioxide, humidity, water stress, pollutants and disease organisms; the behaviour of stomata in the field; and a discussion of stomatal control of transpiration and photosynthesis.
