Plant physiology online

This resource is designed to accompany the textbook 'Plant Physiology, Fourth Edition' by Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger, published by Sinauer Associates Inc., 2006, but is useful on its own for both college and undergraduate students. The subjects covered include essential concepts in plant physiology, transport and translocation of water and solutes, biochemistry and metabolism, and growth and development. The learning materials may be accessed by chapter or by categories as follows: topics (subject material relevant to the chapter); essays (individual papers written by researchers for the site and/or published elsewhere, available in full-text); study questions (short questions for each chapter); and readings (recommended readings for each chapter). The site also gives access to two chapters of the textbook that are provided online only: Chapter 2: Energy and Enzymes, and Chapter 14: Gene Expression and Signal Transduction; these chapters are available in PDF format, requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader (which may be downloaded freely from the link provided). Please note that this resource does not provide access to the full-text of the actual book.
