Encyclopaedia of Plants Science

About the Encyclopaedia of Plant Sciences

The Encyclopaedia of Plant Sciences addresses the core knowledge, theories and techniques, by concentrating its applications in research and industry. II is a comprehensive reference book that covers the application of current advances in the biological sciences, through which scientists can now better produce sustainable, safe food, feed and food ingredients, and renewable raw materials for industry and society. This encyclopaedia covers the concerns over continuing advances in the application of knowledge in the areas of ecology, plant pathology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and biotechnology. This Encyclopaedia is the first-ever single-source reference work to inclusively cover classic and modem studies in plant biology in conjunction with research, applications, and innovations in crop science. From the fundamentals of plant growth and reproduction to developments in agronomy and agricultural science, the Encyclopaedia’s authoritative content nurtures communication between these academically distinct yet intrinsically related spheres–offering a spread of clear, descriptive, and concise entries to optimally serve scientists, agriculturalists, policy makers, students, and the general public.
