Control of Leaf Growth

Until now, there has been a conspicuous absence of an advanced undergraduate text that covers the physiological and environmental factors that regulate leaf growth. This book opens with a consideration of the importance to the plant of leaf size, form and development, and then divides naturally into two sections: the first covers the intrinsic factors within the leaf that influence development, including solute and hormonal status, cellular components, and energy transducing systems; the second considers the role of some major environmental variables in the regulation of leaf growth, including temperature, light, water and nutrients, atmospheric influences and the interactive effects of climatic variables.Davies, W. J. is the author of 'Control of Leaf Growth', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521304801 and ISBN 0521304806.
